In the Blue Ridge Cemetery book, published 2000, the only Dowty listed in Thomas Dowty, died Nov 11, 1846 aged 11 years, 2 months and 7 days according to the reading. It could be the years were read wrong. It appears the tombstone for the daughter was not found at that time. Find an obit for that time frame is not likely but I will put it in my list to look for. I should be going to the cemetery soon, my grandparents (along with 200 + relatives) in buried there so I take my mom one a month. I will try to locate the stone and take pictures.

They are listed in the 1840 Census in Liberty Township - under the name of Thomas Douty. Thomas Dowty died November 11, 1846. Levicy Dowty (their daughter) died April 22, 1854. They are both buried in the Blue Ridge/Cynthianna Cemetery. They are supposedly buried closely together. Does anyone know of someone who would take a picture of their headstones for me? I had one of the headstone of Thomas, but my computer crashed and I lost it. The headstone for Thomas is readable, but doesn't photograph well - might take a few camera angles. In the 1960's Levicy is said to have a headstone, but I don't know the condition now. If anyone would have any obituaries or any other information about the family I would really like to obtain it.
