Dear Terry
This is the group of Dowland's which I have on the family tree.
I now believe that we have the name Stuart in our line because a Helen Stuart married a James Cruickshank in the 18th century and their great grandaughter Emma married Kaye Dowland.This is what it says on the tree:
Robert Cruickshank (of Tillimorgen (sp?), Scotland died during reign of Queen Elizabeth)
|
John Cruickshank
|
Robert m Christian Wright
|
Alexander m Margaret Shaw
|
James (1760-1850) m Helen Stuart
|
John (1792-1860) m Elizabeth Thomas
|
Emma Cruickshank m Kaye Dowland
|
Kaye Edward Stuart (b jan 22 1856) m Margaret Laurie Richardson (b march 2 1866)
|
Kaye John Stuart, Laurie James Stuart, Jean Gordan Doris, Nigel Farrar Stuart Dowland
I include this maternal side only so that you can see how the name Stuart entered our line.I did post a message on the Cruickshank site but to no avail.
I think that the person researching your book must have spoken with some of our lot because your info contains the same gaps in the line of descent between Robert Dowland & Jane Smalley and James Dowland which I have.
I am sorry I don't have time to write more, but just to mention that Kaye Dowland kept a diary of his time in Tobago which my cousin now has.I have read it but it is just full of technical info about the boat and surroundings and I did not learn anymore about the family tree.It was, however an honour to get to read such an old document.
Laurie James Stuart Dowland went to Texas as a cowboy.
The Dowland's seem to have been an extremely religious family and in my father's family bible there is ahym written in hand, I think, by Kaye Dowland.
