We would be some degree of cousins.My g grandfather was Campbell Franklin Dowell - brother to your James Terry Dowell.James Terry named one of his children Campbell Franklin Dowell Jr after my g grandfather Cam.That has confounded some researchers who thought Cam Jr was son of my Cam instead of his nephew.Uncle Jim and Aunt Lizzie took care of my grandpa when he was a little boy.I know quite a few old stories on these Dowells and have proof on the line back to John Dowell and Sarah Hickman.I will be glad to share anything i have with a newly found cousin.I have corresponded with several of Uncle Jim (James Terry Dowells) grandchildren. Ive been working on this Dowell line since 1976.We also would share a Terry and a Gooch line and I have lots info on both those lines also.Looking forward to talking to a newly discovered cousin. . .
