John Gow
John Gow (c. 1698–11 June 1725)〔''The Newgate Calendar'' wrongly asserts that Gow was hanged on 11 August 1729.〕 was a notorious pirate whose short career was immortalised by Charles Johnson in ''A General History of the Pyrates''. Little is known of his life, except from an account by Daniel Defoe, which is often considered unreliable, the report on his execution, and an account by Mr. Alan Fea, descendant of his captor, published in 1912, almost two centuries after his death. ==Early life== Gow was probably born in Wick, Caithness, to William Gow, a merchant, and Margaret Calder. He was raised in Stromness, Orkney where he went to school and learned to sail a ship.
