My George was born with Littleberry's first wife Elizabeth Adkisson. I have found little information about him and I am wondering if this could be the link that I am looking for! Yes, it is so true, there sure are a lot of George's in the Dowell line! Thank you for any help! Cricket skyeagle1950@yahoo.com
