Sower family.
Christopher Sower (also Saur, 1695-1758) emigrated in 1724 from Westphalia (now Germany) to Germantown, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with his wife and son; he lived for a period in Lancaster County, and then settled permanently in Germantown where he became a printer. His son Christopher (1721-1784) assumed the business upon the death of his father; in 1778 he removed to Methatchen, near Norristown, Pennsylvania. His son David (1764-1835), was a printer established at Norristown, as was his son David Jr. (1794-1865). The latter's son Charles Gilbert (1821-1902) was born in Norristown and became a publisher in Philadelphia.
