Albert G. Dow

Albert Gallatin Dow (August 16, 1808 Plainfield, then in Cheshire Co., now in Sullivan County, New Hampshire – May 23, 1908) was an American merchant, banker and politician from New York.

The family removed to Hartland, Vermont, in 1811; and to a farm about nine miles from Batavia, New York in 1816.

In 1827, he removed to Panama, and the next year to Silver Creek where he ran first a shoe and leather shop, then a hardware store.

On April 23, 1850, he married Lydia Ann Mason (1814–1891), a sister of his first wife, and they had a son.

He was Supervisor of the Town of Randolph in 1851, 1853, 1856 to 1859, and 1862; a member of the New York State Assembly (Cattaraugus Co., 2nd D.) in 1863 and 1864; and a member of the New York State Senate (32nd D.) in 1874 and 1875.
