Trouble is, I suspect this is a typo for 'GlenGower'. =================== Dear David, I think it's far more likely that Glendower is an anglicised spelling of Glyndwr, from Owain Glyndwr (Owain ap Gruffudd, ca. 1354-1417) Prince of Wales. Glyndwr held court at Harlech Castle, held parliaments at Machynlleth and Dolgellau, and was recognised by several foreign governments. Source: "Who's Who in Welsh History" by Deborah C.
