I WAS NOT AWARE OF ALL THE BLOWS IN THE WORLD... HERE I THOUGHT I HAD THE ONLY FAMILY WITH THIS UNIQUE NAME. WELL IM NOT OF THE TRUE BLOOD LINE OF THE BLOW FAMILY. I AM OF THE SLAVE DESCENDANTS OF A ENGLISHMAN NAMED PETER BLOW THAT LIVED IN GA. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CIVIL RIGHTS WAS OVER HE FREED ALL OF HIS SLAVE AND NOT ONLY DID HE PROVIDE THEM WITH THE LAST NAME OF "BLOW" HE PROVIDED ALL OF THEM WITH PIECES OF HIS LAND IN GA. STO SHOW IS GRATITUDE AND RESPECT FOR WHAT THEY HAD DONE FOR HIM UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF BEING A SLAVE (THERE WHERE NO FOUL PLAY WITHIN HIS OWNER SHIP OF HIS SLAVES MY GREAT GRANDFATHER TOLD ME. HE TREATED EVERYONE AS IF THEY WERE PART OF THE FAMILY THAT HAD TO KEEP SUCH GREAT AMOUNTS OF LAND AND FARMING UP TO PAR ALONG WITH THE COTTON FIELDS.. STILL SUCKS BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF EVERYTHING IS WHAT GOD TELLS US :))SUCH A GREAT ENDING TO A GOOD STORY :) WITH TIMES COMES CHANGE SO EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY BE OF A DIFFERENT RACE WE ARE ALL FAMILY "BLOW/BLOOR/BLOARE/BLOORE/BLOUR/BLOURE FAMILY" TO WHICH THE GREAT PETER BLOW WAS KIND ENOUGH AND HAD MUCH RESPECT TO HIS SLAVES THAT HE GAVE THEM LAND AND THE LAST NAME TO A GREAT AND POWERFUL ANCESTRY. NOT ONLY DO I LOVE MY LAST NAME I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN HOW I BECAME ONE. THOUGH MY TRUE FAMILY HISTORY OF MY AFRICAN HERITAGE IS LOST FOREVER. IT IS GOOD TO AT LEAST KNOW THAT THROUGH HISTORIES MISFORTUNES OF MY ANCESTORS THAT THE MAN WHOM ENSLAVED THEM GAVE THEM SOMETHING TO BUILD OFF OF FOR THE BEGINNIG OF THERE FREEDOMS. SO I AM GREATFUL TO KNOW THAT THEY ATLEAST HAD A HAPPY ENDING TO THE PAIN AND SUFFERING INWHICH THEY HAD TO FACE. BUT I AM HAPPY THAT I FOUND THIS SITE AND MAYBE I CAN FIND SOME OF MY FELLOW AFRICAN AMERICAN BLOWS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE OF THE RACE AND HAVE THE LAST NAME BLOW YOU ANCESTORS WERE MORE THAN LIKELY ON THE LAND OF PETER BLOW ALONG WITH MINE.
