Researching James Downing and family.He was born 1798 in Moneymore, Co. Derry.His parents were William and Jane Colwell Downing.James emigrated to Philadelphia in 1827 after his father died.He married Elizabeth Brown Duff who was the widow of James Duff, both of whom came from Co. Tyrone.I have plenty on James once he came across to the U.S. but am looking for more on his parents and possible one sibling, William Colwell Downing.I do know that James' mother remarried in 1805 a man called Felix Devlin and went on to have 2 more children, Felix and John.I would be happy to share my info.
