Documentation:
Husband's Sources:
* John McDowell moved to Adair County KY about 1816. He is on the Adair Co. Tax lists from 1817 for 118 acres in Russell Creek. On May 3, 1821 he was appointed Attorney to handle any land in KY left by Edward Franklin father of wife Phebe. Their children Matthew, Agnes, John, George, Elizabeth (born abt 1809 who Married December 7, 1830 Fielding Boley son of Vincent Boley), and son Samuel. Matthew was not John and Phebe's natural son and he married their daughter Agnes. Elizabeth Boley appears on various deeds in Carroll County, Missouri. Phoebe signed "her mark" (Adair Co. deed E:448) On 7 Jul 1823, John McDowell regestered an ear mark (Adair Order Book D:370)
* Ehphraim McDowell of Bedminster Township, NJ and some of His descendants by Richared W. Cook
* John McDowell was a State Legislator
* McDowell family was large in Ky. and seems to have been fairly important.
* From Eric Gordon:
I knew that George McDowell did follow the Boleys to Mo. along with the Gentry boy and lived very close to James and Fielding in Carroll County before Fielding moved up North to Livingston Co., Mo. At least I think that it is the same George McDowell. And YES, the McDowells were very prominent in Kentucky for many years. I have a Geneaology book printing by the McDowell Printing Co. I don't know but it could be the same family. I believe that my fathers family married into the McDowells in Tennessee. This would be the Rippetoe family. A family of casket makers who were widley known for there skill in the burying arts for many years. I will have to check on that fact though.

You are unaware if Elizabeth had brothers or sisters? If she was born in 1817 in Adair County, the Jesse I am researching was born two years later in the same county and could possibly be Elizabeths brother...I will research in some archive databases that I have and get in touch with some other contacts and keep you posted...Marcie
Were you aware that there was a George McDowell born 18 February 1807 in Adair County, Columbia KY. He married Eleanor Sanders 15 January 1828 in that same county. They had children John Alfred, Nancy, Margaret Ann, Benjamin, Rebecca, Thompson, Julius, Mary Ellen, Emeline. I have wondered if possible that Elizabeth, George and Jesse were all related as siblings. Marcie
Just came across a John McDowell who was born about February 1802 in Greenbrier VA and died 21 September 1879 in Upshur WV...maybe that will help you...Marcie
