P.P. Dow

P.P. Dow appears in the Young County 1860 census. He is living in the home of Young County Sheriff Ed Wolffarth with five other single men. P.P. Dow is 35 years old and was born in New York about 1825. He was working as a stage coach conductor for the Butterfield Overland Mail and Stage Company.

The Butterfield Overland Mail and Stage Company operated from 1858 to 1861 in Young County. There were three stage stops in the county: Murphy's Station, Belknap, and Cribbs Station. Stage coach records indicate a stage ran through Young County once a week. P.P. Dow is not mentioned in the Young County records so he may have been a regular driver who did not live long-term.
