Quoted from The Ancestry and Posterity of Joshua Dow of Avon, Maine by George Sedgley, pg. 9:
- He was recalled by a grandniece as a tall, spare man with dark complexion and thin face. He was a genuine Dow, for one of his many habits was to hold lengthy conversations with himself, avoiding any talk whatever with others. When a neighbor asked why he did it, he replied that he liked to talk occasionally with a sensible man and this was the only way he could do it.
