Later I have a note that they fought at the Battle of the Diamond and met at Dan Winter's cottage in Armagh after the battle. I thing that the note mentioned Seagoe. Later these MCDOWELLS moved to the Gilford area of County Down. Popular family given names are:JOHN, JAMES, HANNAH, ROBERT. Does anyone have any input that would be helpful in my ongoing research on these ancestors? Thank you in advance. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
