    1. [DOWNING-L] Land Records

    3. The Bureau of Land Management has an interesting web site with old land records at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ Eventually it will include all states east of the Mississippi. For now it includes a dozen or so. I found my Samuel Downing's purchases in Ohio there. You can view or download a .tiff of the actual land record which [at least in those I saw] contain the ancestor's signature. The files are photo negatives so you'll probably want a program that allows you to reverse this to print out -- then you'll have a nice copy of the actual record.

    1. [DOWNING-L] DONNING
    2. I Read

    3. I too am new to this group. I have been researching the surname DONNING which is sometimes spelled DOWNING. Probably confusion from oral spelling of name as "D - O - double N - I - N - G". When my dad first spelled it for me, I thought he said "D - O - W - N - I - N - G" so I could understand others confusing it <grin>. This family is from Belfast, Ireland. Have traced them back as early as 1845. Is anyone else pursuing this ellusive Irish family or have you encountered anyone else pursuing this surname as you've researched the DOWNING surname? Thanks! Iris :) Tim & Iris Read reads@compusmart.ab.ca

    1. Re: [DOWNING-L] Quaker Downings

    3. Ray, just for the heck of it, will you check for a John Downing [c 1760 ?PA - 1838 IL], married Hannah Frakes [1766 - 1842 IL] do Robert Frakes and Mary Dawson? There has always been a story in the family that the Downings were Quakers way back. It is the only story that I haven't been able to confirm altho, since the others were true I assume it was also.

    1. Re: [DOWNING-L] Quaker Downings

    3. In a message dated 98-07-22 16:56:05 EDT, you write: << Ray, just for the heck of it, will you check for a John Downing [c 1760 ?PA - 1838 IL], married Hannah Frakes [1766 - 1842 IL] do Robert Frakes and Mary Dawson?

Closest is 1742, and no marriage to Frakes. I wouldn't give up on it, though, as I don't know how complete these records are that I have. There's a thing called the "Hinshaw Records" which, I believe, is more complete. If you could find those in a library, it would be worth a look. Ray

    1. Re: [DOWNING-L] War of 1812

    3. Illinois lists Civil War vets on the Secretary of State's web site. The USGENWEB Civil War project is growing so hopefully they'll all be online sooner or later, either from the state or through volunteers on this project. I know of a couple Downing ancestors who served in the War of 1812 but AFAIK they were living in Ohio at the time.
