Long time researchers of that line have not found John Dowdy of Williamson's father. But I am intrigued by your theorized orign of "Bear Creek" and not the use of "Deep River". That tells me that you are potentially looking at info or family data from a perspective that many of us are not. Most of the Dowdys in Chatham(except those from Albemarle Parish Va) were located around Deep River. Another location for their deeds was Georges Creek in the same area. But "Bear Creek" is rarely mentioned, although it is very near the Dowdys of Deep River.
You mentioned the Tuckers were of Bear Creek. Is that the source of your theory?
Thanks
