Author: edgardowell1946 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dowell/955/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am a descendant of John Dowell who lived in the Rawdon and Windsor area of Nova Scotia in the late 1700's and early 1800's. John stayed in Nova Scotia, but James left around 1810. We do not know whether he went back to Scotland or to the USA or to another part of Canada. I am interested in the Scottish history as well as the history of James Dowell who left the Rawdon & Windsor area of Nova Scotia. There is a record of the two brothers in respect to an application for a land grant but only brother John received one. I welcome any assistance in this search. If anyone out there is looking for Dowell information for John and his descendants, I am happy to share. edgardowell@gmail.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
