Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Halifax/2116 Surname: MCDOWELL, BROWN ------------------------- I've just discovered that my GGGG grandfather John McDowell married Mary "Polly" Brown in Halifax County on 9 February 1792. My GGG grandfather William Allen McDowell was probably born at the end of that year in Halifax County. Other known children born to John and Mary were Nancy, John, Mary, Swepson, James, Margaret, and Susan. The family moved to the area of Hardin/Hart/LaRue counties in Kentucky during the early 1800s (as best as I can estimate). Does anyone have information on John McDowell or Mary Brown's families? This line has been a brick wall. Any information would be greatly appreciated, and I'll gladly exchange what I have on their descendants.
