I knew Ruth McDowell Brooks and her brother, Jack. Jack disappeared after leaving Emporium. While surfing the Soc Sec death index, I found where Jack had died in Oregon, leaving a wife and children but I do not have their information. I don't show Ruth and Jack going back to a David McDowell as you suggest. I was especially familiar with Theodore (Dick) McDowell and his family. What I have is shown below.
