Linne, About 80% of the people who go to this reunion are Bowles and Estes family members. Especially from the Edmund Estes and Caroline McDowell Bowles families. I will be happy to put you in touch with some of them. However, I tried responding directly to you and my email came back. I will try again. I have a family history on most of the descendents of William and Mary McDowell. I could send you a gedcom file. Have about thirty more people to enter and I will be finished with it for now. Keep in touch. Tell me again which of these family members is your ancestor. Edmund Estes married two of the McDowell girls so there is quite a bit on his group. Tammy Van Horn, if you see this and would like to respond to Linne you may have more than I do. Alma Davis Bomer will also be there. She has been doing research on the family for many many years but she does not have email. She is descended from Estes also. I am from the Margaret Wilson McDowell - John Woods Cowan group.
