Hi Susan or Gavin,
I have a Tow relative that contacted me and she is interested in the DNA project, here is her email address.
Her name is Betty Tow
fbtow@att.netAlso my distant cousin Carl Martin gave me this information posted below. Hope this is helpful. :)

Finding the Tow males would be a tough job. William Tow had 4 sons and two of those (Monroe and James) had no children......that leaves William Riley who had several sons....but I have no addresses and John Calvin who had five sons of which one died infancy and Uncle Marion had no children. Uncle Johnie Tow had one son who died infancy and one daughter. So from John Calvin that leaves two sons who had sons......Uncle Henry had a bunch of sons and their families are scattered all over from Indiana to California. Uncle Wade had only one son who also only had one son who lived in Memphis....but I don't have names or addresses and I think that line ended up all girls in Memphis.
You would probably know more about Wilson Tows male descendants and I know they are scattered all over too. I think it would be quite a task to try and find all of these people. I know nothing about a DNA project on the Tow family.
