James McDowell m: Addie Hoar, CA, 1882
Do you know anything re: my grandfather James McDowell?He was a friend of, and worked for, Alex B. Grogan in San Benito (Monterey) County, California ca 1870-1880.He was a farmer living in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California on April 24, 1888 when he registered to vote. He stated he was from Ireland and 34 years old at the time. He died at the home of Alex McCune in Holister, San Benito County, California August 12, 1893 leaving a wife and six children. His family was residing in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California at the time. I'm stumped. Any information on James McDowell would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, WEMcD
