My McDowell Family Tree

It's been awhile since I laid this out for new readers of this blog. 

A Group:These men were in White County, Tennessee in 1810, possibly sooner:

1. Andrew McDowell born before 1775 by his age in 1820 census. Andrew is not listed in the 1830 census.
2. *John McDowell probably born by 1775, because he was a parent in 1795. Died about 1819 in White County, Tennessee. His estate was settled in White County. 

B Group. A younger generation than Andrew and John:
1. Smith McDowell: he shows up in 1827 in a deed between him and Andrew McDowell. Andrew sells him 200 ac. for 2 cents per acre. In NO census records.
2. Jane McDowell/McDole, born in South Carolina about 1796. A widow with a daughter Elizabeth.
3. Elizabeth McDowell born in South Carolina about 1795. Daughter of John McDowell married to James Elrod. Mother of many children.
4. *Andrew McDowell, who often used Mcdole, born about 1800. We don't know where he was born because he died before the 1850 census. 

C Group: Descendants of Group B.
1. Jane McDowell/McDole was someone's widow, possibly Smith's. She has a daughter Elizabeth, and possibly a son, James. James seems to stay close to her residence in the censuses. He marries Eliza Clouse. They die too young.
2. *Children of Andrew McDole: John and Smith seem to be the oldest, born by 1820.
There may be daughters Cynthia and Sippy. The youngest son may be the James McDowell living in McMinnville area in 1850 census. There are other children.

D Group: Descendants of Group C.
*I am descended from Andrew's (b. about 1800) son *John (b. about 1819). John marries Hester Ann, and we don't know her last name. They have several children. The ones we know of are Emmeline, Owen, James,and Nancy Ann. 

E Group:
I am descended from Nancy Ann McDowell. She was born in Taney County, Missouri in January 1850. Evidently her father died, and Hester Ann McDowell went to live with her sister.
