I agree, Samuel was a very popular name at that time. I do know alot about our family but was searching for more. Here's a photograph of Samuel Dowsett's son's family. His name is James Isaac Dowset. This is where the "Hawaii" Dowsett's began. James I. Dowsett married a Princess of Hawaii, her name was Annie Ragsdale, she was 50% Hawaiian. Her grandmother was one of the Queens of Hawaii, her name was Kahawalu. The hawaiian blood has "diluted" over the years I am a quarter Hawaiian. Information you can share someday with your family of Dowsetts. As they say in Hawaii, A hui hou,"until then", take care, hope to talk to again someday.
