They were two of nine children born in NC to Thomas and Sarah (Sallie) Dowdy. Mary married Duncan McIntyre in NC in abt. 1836 and shortly afterward (1838) they joined several other siblings to journey to Tennessee and then on to settle in other areas. Their eldest child was born in Tennessee and likely in Hardin County. Many of the group moved on to Stoddard County, MO but Mary and Duncan relocated to Lauderdale County, AL, which was just across the TN/AL state line from Hardin County. > > Duncan McIntyre died in 1851 and Mary then married Nelson Garrett Hill 08 May 1855 in Lauderdale County, AL. They had one daughter, whose name was Mary Reeder Hill, but was known as Reeder. She married W. R. Cox 10 Dec 1886. > > I am looking for information on the Hill and McIntyre families.
