First, I will list Andrew (ca 1800-1840s) McDowell/McDole with all of his neighbors during the 1840 census. Then I will list those who lived near the older Andrew (b. before 1775- d. before 1830) McDole in 1820.
The county lines had changed when DeKalb County was formed, so in 1840 Andrew is in DeKalb County in District 8. Later, when Putnam County formed in 1854, this part of District 8 may have gone into Putnam County.

Now look at who lived by the older Andrew McDole in 1820 in White County, before DeKalb County had formed. I do not know if the older Andrew is a non-relative or an uncle or a grandfather or a cousin. But I'm just going to refer to him as "Uncle Andrew" for fun. He could be a brother of John, the father of Elizabeth and Andrew, so he could be their uncle. From the info in the census Uncle Andrew was already over 45 (born by 1775), with two women in the house 16-25 years old. There was also a little boy in the home. Andrew could be the father or grandfather of the boy.

On this 1820 census, James Elrod is listed three families before Andrew. James Elrod and Elizabeth McDowell were married and parents of several children. They are listed as having 3 boys and 2 little girls. James is listed as being over 45, and Elizabeth is between 26 and 44. She was born in 1795. I don't know how James and Elizabeth met, but it might have been when she came to see "Uncle Andrew". James and Elizabeth were married by 1813.
Sippy Mcdole married William Steele, the son of John Steele, in DeKalb county in 1848. Andrew McDowell b.1799 was probably her father.
Levi Bozarth was the father of Nathan Bozarth who married Hester Ann McDowell's sister, Nancy. Nathan and Nancy took in Hester Ann and her children in Missouri in 1850. Nathan Bozarth died in Missouri before 1860. Nancy's last husband was William Lawrence. Descendants of William Lawrence say her name was Nancy Allen. If that is true, Nancy could be a daughter of the George Allen or Samuel Allen listed in this census.
