Surnames: Downs Grimes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3BC.2ACE/1835 Message Board Post: Who was Downs Lake named for? Could it possibly been after John Martin Downs who lived in Spokane after I believe 1909? Does anyone have info on John Martin Downs and wife Celia (Grimes) Downs? They had children Cecil james and Cecelia Downs. Thank You, djjdowns@msn.com
