Surnames: Dowell, Snyder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AST.2ACEB/455 Message Board Post: My wife is a descendant of Drinkard Dowell and Pauline Snyder. Many years ago ,while researching Dowells in KY, I discovered a second Drinkard Dowell. This was in Breckinridge county KY in the 1830's. The 1840 KY census shows the 2 Drinkards and the tax rolls show 2 for most of the 1830's. I never determined the identity of this 2nd Drinkard but feel he must be a cousin to the other. I think it may be causing some confusion in research. Does anyone know where this Drinkard came from and where he went after 1840?

Hi. Who are the parents of this Drinkard Dowell? I have a Drinkard Dowell in my database - his parents are Micajah Dowell and Frances Meador. This Drinkard Dowell was born December 18, 1806. I have no information on him after that. My line (which I haven't proven yet) goes through Drinkard's sister, Sarah Dowell, born Oct 4, 1791. She married Thomas Clemmons in Breckinridge Co, KY on Feb 18, 1809. I just looked through my census indexes, and saw the Drinkard Dowell that you're wondering about in the 1840 census. According to this, Drinkard would have been between the ages, 30 and 40 and 6 kids. Does this fit with the info you have on your Drinkard? In the 1850 census, in Breck Co, KY, there is a Drinker Dowell and according to the index that I got from rootsweb.com, his wife if Paulina and there are children, Polly, 21, McCage, 19, Baxter, 17, Lorenzo, 14, Sarah F, 8, Christopher C., 6, and William G, 3. Is this your Drinkard? I don't have the "D's" in the tax records, so I can't help with that. Look forward to hearing from you. Let me know if I can help any.
