James Dowell 10/24/02
I have a John R. (Reuben) Dowell b. abt 1838 Tenn, married to Louisa A. (Dowell?/Powell?); children Cynthia A., Major A., and Mary Roxella "Mollie".They were in 1860 Maury Co., Tenn., moved to Texas in the 1860's, found them in 1870 Rusk Co., TX and 1880 Polk Co., TX.He was the "Elder"or Reverend Dowell, founded the Damascus Missionary Baptist Church in Polk Co.There was a marriage record in Maury Co. for John Reuben Dowell to Louisa A. Dowell or Powell recorded as October 1, 1858 , Marriage Book 3, 1852-1867, this according to the county clerk; however, it was not included in the transcriptions online for Maury Co. marriages. This John R. Dowell died in the 1880's in Polk co,; his wife Louisa/Louizer was living with daughter Mollie in Polk Co. (James and Mollie Maxey).
Could my JOhn Reuben Dowell be the same Reuben John Dowell who was the son of Major Caleb Dowell in Maury Co.?
