Post Funera Faenus (An interest after death)
Mow (also Molle) takes its name from the lands of Molle, later Mow, in Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders; Liuluf de Molle appears to have held land there at the beginning of the 12th century. A documented run of records follows from the 12th to the 18th century, including a church grant, a court witness, a royal regrant, a burgh office and a petition to restore the old spelling. No chief is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs or by COSCA.

No. Neither the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs nor COSCA lists a current chief or commander for Mow.
Post Funera Faenus, Latin for 'An interest after death'.
From the lands of Molle, later spelled Mow, in Roxburghshire; Liuluf de Molle appears to have held land there at the beginning of the 12th century. The village of the ancient parish of Mow stood on Bowmont Water near Mowhaugh, and the parish was later united with Morebattle.
Accounts differ. Electric Scotland's account of the family says the Laird of Mow was slain at the Battle of Redesweire in 1575. The ballad 'The Raid of the Reidswire', in Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, says instead that Scotland had cause for sorrow 'For laiming of the Laird of Mow' -- that is, for his laming. This page does not choose between them.
Electric Scotland records a John Mow as master of singing and a burgess of the town of Elgin.
In 1789 John Mow of Mains and his brother William, a Writer to the Signet, applied to the court to change the spelling of their surname back to Molle, the older form of the name.
