E-mail: jcunion3@webtv.net
I am trying to find the parents of Chandler Dowling, born ca 1826 in New Brunswick, Canada (possibly from Harvey Parish). He married Susannah Buchanan (from Hopewell, New Brunswick) on May 23,1850. They had the following children: Emela b.1853, Mary b.1854, Phebe Ann b.1855, Chandler b.1858, Edwin b.1859, Jane b. 1860, Warren b. 1862, Irene b.1865, Lucinda b.1867 and William b. 1869. I havea also been told that the Dowling family first settled in Prince Edward Island before going to New Brunswick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Fred

Re: Robert Dowling b. 1730 - Descendents -
(1) I am descended from William Dowling, the only child of Robert Dowling and his unknown first wife. Robert - William - Jabez- Jabez L.- Jabez L. Jr.- John Randol- Mary Viola m. Charlie Eustice Griffin - Carl Donald Griffin m. Betty Patsy Keener - me! Some of William's descendents went from SC to GA where there is still a large Dowling contingent. There is a Dowling family reunion in Brantley Co., GA each August, but I haven't been in years. I, too, would be interested in a reprint of A Dowling Family of the South. My photocopy is functional, but I'd rather have the real thing. Keep us posted about reprint info.
(2) I am a descendent of Robert Dowling through his son William, the only known child by his first wife. Her name is unknown. 2nd wife was Sarah Guinn. Check out my Family Tree Maker report "Descendants of Robert Dowling" at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/t/Cathye-Griffin--Betzel/ My direct line goes from Robert Dowling, William Dowling, Jabez Dowling, Jabez Lazarus Dowling, Jabez Lazarus Dowling, Jr., John Randol Dowling, Mary Viola Dowling, Carl Donald Griffin, Cathye Faye Griffin.

If any information out there, please let me know. Also I am very interested in knowing more about the Dowling Reunion in Dublin! When is it and who do I contact about it?! Thanks. Christy.

In Reply to: A Dowling Family of the South by R.A. Dowling posted by Sharman Ramsey on February 24, 1998 at 15:38:12:
I have the book "A Dowling Family of the South."
My maternal grandmother was Gussie Esther Nancy Elizabeth (Gussie) Dowling. she married Berry Lee Adams. My grandmother was 26 yrs. old when she died of a "bad heart". She left behind my mother Mary Lee Adams, Sollie Mansfield Adams, and Versa Laverne Adams. My mother was the eldest of Gussie's children. Uncle Sollie died in 1964 in a hunting accident. Aunt Versa died of cancer in 1958 (I believe that was the year).
My grandmother's father was Steven Calvess Dowling and her mother was Lavonia Forehand.
My great-uncle General Sollie Dowling lived in Indianapolis, IN with his wife, Sophia. My mother has pictures of them.
If anyone is interested about this part of the Robert Dowling family, please contact me or my oldest brother Joel Lee Grantham at e-mail: joel.grantham@gte.net.

I have the book "A Dowling Family of the South."
My maternal grandmother was Gussie Esther Nancy Elizabeth (Gussie) Dowling. she married Berry Lee Adams. My grandmother was 26 yrs. old when she died of a "bad heart". She left behind my mother Mary Lee Adams, Sollie Mansfield Adams, and Versa Laverne Adams. My mother was the eldest of Gussie's children. Uncle Sollie died in 1964 in a hunting accident. Aunt Versa died of cancer in 1958 (I believe that was the year).
My grandmother's father was Steven Calvess Dowling and her mother was Lavonia Forehand.
My great-uncle General Sollie Dowling lived in Indianapolis, IN with his wife, Sophia. My mother has pictures of them.
If anyone is interested about this part of the Robert Dowling family, please contact me or my oldest brother Joel Lee Grantham at e-mail: joel.grantham@gte.net.

Southern Dowling/Boutwell connection

Hello, Dowlings:
I am hoping some one of you can give me some guidance regarding the connection between the Boutwells and the descendants of Frampton Dowling. I am descended from the WILLIAM BOUTWELL (b: 1750-1760, d: 1843 Pike Co., AL) who was married to JANE DOWLING. According to current Boutwell thinking, William was the brother of Mary and Nancy, who married James and John Dowling. But there seems to be a difference between the Dowling and the Boutwell records, and this is where I would like some help. Dowling records show that Mary and Nancy were daughters of Butonhead Boutwell, while current Boutwell records show Mary and Nancy were daughters of Lionel Delaney Boutwell, supposed son of Burtonhead.
This is my question: Do the Dowlings have any documents to support that Mary and Nancy were the daughters of Burtonhead Boutwell? Do any Dowling records show the existence of an individual named Lionel Delaney Boutwell (or Lioney, or Loney of a time period that could make him the father of Mary and Nancy? Do the Dowling records show William Boutwell mentioned above who married Jane Downg?
Help will be greatly appreciated. - Joan

A Dowling Family of the South (version 1959) by R A Dowling, Page 3:- "The WILLIAM Dowling Branch of Our Family"
"ROBERT'S only child by his first wife is thought by some to have been born as late as 1756. But King George's grant of South Carolina land to this Dowling son, WILLIAM, in 1771, indicates a possible error in such a birthdate. Adding proof to this is an 1899 article reporting that WILLIAM married in Virginia before coming southward. By the summer of 1770 he was in South Carolina.
It is interesting to notice the old maxim that youth ventures first in the case of WILLIAM and his father ROBERT. For the former arrived in the Carolinas two years earlier than did ROBERT, or so their respective land grants indicate.
The tract of land granted WILLIAM in 1771 was sixty acres in size and lay on Flat Creek "in Craven County". That old county covered over two-thirds of South Carolina; it was strictly wilderness with few whites in it, so only men of pioneering instinct dared invade it. Adjoining the farm that WILLIAM cleared were the lands of a Wiliam Breton and a widow Gibson. Dowling's "quit-rent" to the King's collectors in January of 1774 is proof of his residence in today's Darlington County area prior to his subsequent move.
By 1775 WILLIAM had moved one hundred miles to the southwest; he had decided to leave unsettled Craven County for the more stable Orangeburg District. The latter was near enough to the Savannah waterway on the southern border of WILLIAM'S State that for almost a century a portion of its area had been known as Colleton County.
It was at this third known home of WILLIAM'S that history was to let young Dowling live his last few years. He had purchased this farm from one Thomas Ford; it was on the Little Salkehatchee at Cypress Pond. This one hundred acre tract lay near present-day Bamberg, South Carolina.
WILLIAM had probably married before leaving Virginia; for wife Rebecca Walker was a native of that State (and a daughter of Nathanial and
Marian Walker). Author D. G. Copeland, who wrote an excellent manuscript covering Orangeburg pioneers, stated that Rebecca only lived until 1789;
also that she was about thirty-nine when she died. Rebecca and WILLIAM'S children may be seen on Chart 101. The place of this couple's burial is
unknown.
Hardly had these Dowlings settled on the Little Salkehatchee before war broke out with England. Young WILLIAM responded to the call, though not
by joining the "regulars" as had father ROBERT. Instead, he joined the most dreaded band of guerillas that warfare had ever known: the backwoods followers of the “Swampfox", General Fransis Marion!
American history-books tell of the many times that these men existed by eating sweet potatoes meal after meal. It was with them that WILLIAM
fought in the hopeless defense of Charleston. And it was England's revocation of the paroles originally granted these defeated Colonists after that battle and British insistence that frontiersmen be gathered up to fight for the King that is thought by historians to be the act that later caused such brilliant fighting by the Carolinians.
WILLIAM was undoubtedly a "shirt-sleeve" patriot . . . one who did not always take time to don his uniform. For his name is not on the official list
of Marion's men. But the enemy had his name on a list! . . . Before the heat generated in this fight which oftentimes involved neighbor against neighbor had died away in the 1780's, he was caught at home by a bunch of Tories and shot dead on the spot! Dowling's twelve-year old son, JABEZ, looked on helplessly as the muskets boomed! The war was over, but only the leaders had signed the peace treaty."

A Dowling Family of the South (version 1959) by R A Dowling, Page 3:- "WILLIAM'S OLDEST SON JABEZ"
(See Chart 311 and 101 (incorporated in Dowling One-Name Study))
JABEZ, the oldest son of an oldest son, was born in 1770 between March and August. Rebecca gave birth to him in South Carolina. He was carried
to the Little Salkehatchee area as a child.
JABEZ married young as had father WILLIAM. For Author Folks Huxford States that spinster ELIZABETH Dowling (residing in 1850 with the Blackburns in Ware County) was a daughter of JABEZ. She was born in 1786. Another daughter was probably the SARAH who married Hansford Cleland in the Barnwell-Beaufort area. As Chart 311 shows, she had a child named James Henry. His daughter, Lillie Cleland, is the widow of JOHN CALHOUN Dowling, Sr. (see Chart 556). She resides in Brunson, South Carolina.
The 1810 Barnwell census shows that beside the above two daughters JABEZ also had three others, all of whom were born within ten years prior to
The WILLIAM Dowling Branch of Our Family Page 3 that date. One of these would have been NANCY, born 1807, who married Jeremiah Walker, Sr., about twentytwo years later. This couple resided in the southern part of Georgia and reared the eleven children named on Chart 311.
In 1800 JABEZ sold, for fifty pounds sterling, a one-hundred acre tract of land adjacent to Cypress Pond. It is most likely the land that father WILLIAM
had purchased a quarter-century earlier. Other places owned by JABEZ included a 609 acre tract granted him by the State in 1810 and described as lying next to ELIJAH'S farm on a road leading from the Johnston Bridge (on the South Edisto) to the "Old Savannah Crossing" (on the Little Salkehatchee).
By the age of thirty-eight Dowling was a Justice of the Peace in the Salkehatchee area of South Carolina. Georgia records show his "passport" affidavits so necessary for Carolinians desiring to cross the Creek Nation that lay between them and New Orleans.
JABEZ saw a chance to even an old score in 1814. The Americans and British were at it again, so he enlisted in the defense forces of Colonel Youngblood's Regiment, taking son DENNIS with him.
Shortly afterwards JABEZ and most of his family left Barnwell District. One of his last acts in his native State was the witnessing of brother ELIJAH'S will. After a brief residence in coastal McIntosh County, Georgia, these Dowlings moved to the section of old Wayne County that now lies in Brantley County. There, too, he was a Justice of the Peace, 1822-1824.
JABEZ spent nearly half of his life in the place he moved next: the 590th Militia District of Ware County. He and wife Rebecca were there at the time of the 1840 census. (Rebecca was about the same age as her husband; her maiden name is unknown. She died within ten years after this. About 1825 she had helped organize that area's Smyrna Church.)
At this place, as in South Carolina, JABEZ helped civilization's progress by teaching school; for this grandson of ROBERT'S was a leader. In 1825 he
became church clerk of High Bluff Baptist Church (called "Big Creek Meeting House" at one time); he held this job continuously until his death over three decades later. The 1828 minutes of the Piedmont Baptist Association list him as a delegate. And on December 11, 1843, he was licensed to preach. Picturesque High Bluff Baptist Church still stands-its old shingled roof probably overlooking the last resting place of this Dowling couple.
. . . Preacher, teacher, farmer, public-servant. . . and even an Indian fighter! For prior to his death JABEZ was granted bounty-lands by the government in recognition of his services in the Indian Wars that flared around the Okefenokee in the 1830's. Copies of the affidavits made by this ancestor of most of Georgia's Dowlings describing his two military careers may be obtained from Federal Archives. He had signed the last one in 1855 at which time he was eighty-four. The remainder of this memorable man's life is lost to us. And one wonders whether this elderly Dowling
knew at the time what had happened to his younger brother, MICAJAH.
All five of JABEZ's sons (shown on Chart 311) migrated to Georgia with him."

Re: Robert Dowling b. 1730 - Descendents -
(1) I am descended from William Dowling, the only child of Robert Dowling and his unknown first wife. Robert - William - Jabez- Jabez L.- Jabez L. Jr.- John Randol- Mary Viola m. Charlie Eustice Griffin - Carl Donald Griffin m. Betty Patsy Keener - me! Some of William's descendents went from SC to GA where there is still a large Dowling contingent. There is a Dowling family reunion in Brantley Co., GA each August, but I haven't been in years. I, too, would be interested in a reprint of A Dowling Family of the South. My photocopy is functional, but I'd rather have the real thing. Keep us posted about reprint info.
(2) I am a descendent of Robert Dowling through his son William, the only known child by his first wife. Her name is unknown. 2nd wife was Sarah Guinn. Check out my Family Tree Maker report "Descendants of Robert Dowling" at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/t/Cathye-Griffin--Betzel/ My direct line goes from Robert Dowling, William Dowling, Jabez Dowling, Jabez Lazarus Dowling, Jabez Lazarus Dowling, Jr., John Randol Dowling, Mary Viola Dowling, Carl Donald Griffin, Cathye Faye Griffin.
