I was present at that ceremony at Bowers-Templeman cemetery. Were you there? Interestingly the orginal marker was stolen that night. It was replaced and cemented in. <g> Too bad it is inaccurate. The John Downing who served in Capt. Timothy Downing's company is part of what I refer to as the Mason County, KY, Downings. John was Timothy's brother. You can find more about these Downings at http://www.jps.net/egals/downing/jdhistory.html That is written by Joe Downing who is on this list. There is quite a bit of information there.
