Thank you so very much Mary for looking up that data for me. I already have John Dowdys will and have all of his children. The info about Charles Dowdy is great, we do not know where he fits in our Dowdy family. But I feal sure that all the Dowdy's that were in Williamson Co. in the early 1800's were related. Thanks again !!! Sue Feild -- Shingle Springs Ca.
