For Sue Hodnett from Sherry: You might want to find The Kentucky Gazette, 1787-1800 by Green to look at the Downings mentioned: John Downing in Lexington,Ky; Francis Downing who had a plantation on Hickman Creek 4 mi from Lexington in 1797; Moody and Downing who had a store in the 1790s; Capt. John Downing who is mentioned in a land transaction with William Webb 1796; William Downing in Lexington 1796;Samuel Downing in KY 1795; Richard W. Downing in Lexington 1793; Dr. Downing who may have been Richard W.. Also Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds, author not known by me. Richard W. Downing m Margaret Webb. Samuel Downing m Priscilla Webb. That's all for now. SK >Sherry, > I don't recognize any of your Downing names. If you come across some of >mine before I get a good chance to do some looking would you drop me a note? > Morean/Morian Downing born 1816 KY; lived for a while in Davies County >MO. Can't find him after 1860. Maybe he went to Iowa. He married Lydia Ann >Brunk in 1842 in Davies Co. They have: Samuel, born 1846; John, born 1848, >and Ellen, born 1850; James, Sanford, Morian, Jr. ? and William Austin >Downing, all born after 1850. I have nothing at all for Samuel, John and >Ellen. a little on Sanford and much on William, in my family line. > Morean's daddy was Powhatan "Puck" Downing. Don't know where he died. >I recently learned some of his descendants are buried in Brown Cemetery >(Hillcrest now) in Daives County. But not Morean. Morean had brothers: >John, Charles, Cravins, and Powhatan, Jr, for sure. > >Sue Hodnett > > >==== DOWNING Mailing List ==== >Thank you for contributing to the Downing mailing list. >
