Dowell/Franklin Marriage
This is just a "long shot" but perhaps a Franklin genealogist will have the info I need.My ancestor was John Dowell born 1764 in Albermarle Co, VA.He served in the revolution and had one brother named George.Parents unknown but he is not related to the John Dowell of an earlier generation that married Ann Franklin (dau. of Benjamin Franklin and Patience Sumpter).An old research paper has been found - pre 1920 - that gives info that "my" John Dowell married an unknown first name Franklin and had one son named George in 1789.Apparently the Franklin wife died by 1797 when John married my ancestor Sarah Hickman.John moved from Albermarle VA in 1778 to Burke Co North Carolina so he likely married the Franklin lady in Burke, Wilkes, Granville or Caldwell Co N.C.between 1784-1789.Can't find any marriage or documents on such a marriage except the one research paper.Any help appreciated.
