I'm very interested in the John Dowell, whom you have born 1764 in Albemarle County, VA. Your post went on to discuss his brother, George, who went to Indiana. Do you know any more about John? My g-g-grandfather, Zebedee Gray, born 1795 in the WVA part of VA, married Nancy Maria Dowell in 1823 in Clarke County,VA. They had five sons. I believe, but have no proof, that Nancy's father was a John Dowell, probably a farmer, in Clarke County. If you have any information, I'd be glad to share mine. Carlin Gray

John Dowell was my g g g grandfather. I know his children and his line very well and he had no daughter named Nancy Maria. In 1778 John moved to Burke Co N.C. along with his brother George. In 1797 he married Sarah Elizabeth Hickman in Wilkes co NC. In 1810 they were in Cumberland Co KY and in 1815 settled in Jackson Co TN where John died in 1851 and Sarah in 1871. Their children were: John Martin, Reuben Hickman, Emma, Elvira, Frances America, Clara, Patsy and Sophia. There is a Dowell website where much Dowell info is being exchanged by many great long time researchers. Do you know of James E Dowell (Albermarle Dowells) or Dave Dowell (Maryland Dowells) both long time researchers. They are administrators of the sites. Anyway about 5 distinct Dowell Groups have been developed from DNA testing and info is shared on the site. If you are interested in joining the site I can tell you who to contact. For some reason I seem to recall seeing soemthing about W VA Dowells on that site but can't recall any details. Anyway, might be an avenue to pursue. Good luck and I wish we were related. My old John and his brother George seem to have just appeared and be unrelated to any other Dowells in US in the 1750s!!!

Surnames: Coffey, Dowell, Hickman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AST.2ACEB/110.227.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: My line has John Dowell born 1764 in albermarle Co Va and his brother George dowell born 1759 in Albermarle. George and John both served in the Rev. George and his family of children: Polly who married Reuben coffey, James who married Martha Coffey, and Jane who married an Allen and a Moore (I think - memory here) all moved to Monroe Co, Ind and then to Owen Co Il about 1832-33. Theories abound about other George's relationship to "my" two Dowell. One George Dowell born in 1787 or thereabout married a Polly/Mary Tomberlin/Vincent and settled in Indiana/Illinois. His children were named so identical to my old John of the Rev children that there must be a connection to "my" John/George but it has yet to be found. Another George of Indiana married a Mary Hilem (I think) and his daughter spoke of an Uncle John of the Rev.....again, for years speculation on any kinship of these 2 George's to our Dowells. DNA testing is being conducted that would prove or disprove the relat! ionship. If you know any male Dowell descendents who would like to test (fee is about $150) I can tell you the site and who to contact. To date, descendents of George and John Dowell of the revolution match no other Dowells in the US who have tested and seem to be a unique band of Dowells!!
