Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/NC/Chowan/10933 Surname: Dowd ------------------------- I am looking for the parents of my gg grandfather Alfred Dowd who was born in North Carolina in 1813. Alfred moved to Mississippi when he was about 24 years old. I have been told his father might have been a Richard Dowd but have no proof of that. Any help with finding the family of this man would be greatly appreciated.
