Interesting family. Benjamin was one of at least 11 children. This bunch of Scots arrived at Delaware Co NY about 1780s, with the pattern of naming firstborn sons for the father. John's father was Benjamin son of Benjamin son of David. I've identified 3 sons of immigrant David: David Benjamin & Dugald, all born Scotland. Around the same time a Peter Harrower showed up around Albany NY who is not David's brother, perhaps they were cousins.

I am from the Peter Harrower line from Albany, NY. It's not a very prolific branch and I do not know if they were part of a larger family. but I will post a brief snopsis if that would be helpful. I also have no idea of the date 1759 Peter Harrower immigrated to America. John Harrower of Cleish, Kinross, Scotland married a Margaret Thomson. Their birth and death dates are unknown to me. Their child was: Peter Harrower born 08 June 1759 at Cleish, Kinross, Scotland died 01 January 1827 at Perth, Fulton Co., NY. - married Euphemia Kirk Peter Harrower, Jr. 1786-1827 John B. Harrower 1813-1890 Walter J. Harrower 1863-1949 Ruth V. Harrower 1892-1985 Ruth Harrower was my grandmother who poured a lot of love into this child. . Sincerely, Frank F.
