In the same household were John Dowell age probably 63 (but possibly 43) born in NC, Pricilla Dowell age 17 born in NC, and Nancy Dowell age 28 born in NC. > In the next household were Timothy Dowell age 27 born in NC, Polly Dowell 23 KY, Martha Ann Dowell 4 IN, Marvin?? 2 IN, and James C. 4 mos.

My ancestors left NC about 1833 and stopped for about 5 years in Henry County, IN before settling in MO in about 1838. Some of my line intermarried in IN and did not continue to MO. It would appear that the above family also moved to IN from NC about 1833---between the births of Pricilla and Martin. > >
