Surnames: Dowell, Harrold Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AST.2ACEB/418.2 Message Board Post: My information about Rev. Jacob Dowell, 1775-1838, married to Elisabeth Harrold of Holmes Co., Ohio, was that Jacob Dowell was from Maryland. Jacob studied for the ministry near Baltimore and he was a minister in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Do your have information that he was actually born in Maryland? His children listed his birthplace in several censuses as either Maryland, Virginia, or New York. I have not found any information about his parents yet.
