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.
