Daisy,
There were two James DOWNS in Greenup Co., KY .They were father and son.The elder was B. James DOWNS, b. ca. 1806-1807 (he was age 63 in 1870).
The younger was the son of the above B. James DOWNS and his wf. Mary (Polly) Ann VIRGIN and was named James G. DOWNS (was age 22 in 1870).I have no information on the latter one.
The older B. James DOWNS md. as his 2nd wf., Mary (Polly) Ann VIRGIN (b. 1825) who was the dau. of Elzy VIRGIN and his wf. Sarah DOWNS.
Elzy VIRGIN was the youngest son of Rezin VIRGIN and his wf. Jemima ARNOLD who went to Oldtown, Greenup Co., KY ca. 1804-1805.He had previously lived in what is now Fayette & Wash. Cos., PA from about the 1760's to shortly after 1800 when he moved first to Bourbon Co., KY, then to Greenup Co. where he died sometime in the 1820's.
Sarah DOWNS was the dau. of John DOWNS and his wf. Lucy VIRGIN, sister of the above Rezin VIRGIN.
I have a listing of the children of B. James DOWNS & Mary (Polly) Ann VIRGIN and also of his first marriage, but do not know the name of DOWNS' first wf..Do you?
