Email Correspondence

Note: this emailer has confirmed that the wife of Joseph Dowdy (Branch 27) is "Miss Tucker"

My husband's great grandmother was Caroline Dowdy who married William Marvin Anderson. Her parents were Henry Petty Dowdy (son of George K) and De maris Dowdy(Daughter of Joseph Dowdy & Miss Tucker). Most of the information that I have came from Connie Perkins. However, recently I was able to find Demaris (listed as Dee M) Dowdy's death certificate. She died Jun 15, 1911 in Graves Co, KY. On her death certificate her parents were listed as Joseph Dowdy and Miss Tucker. I looked at I believe the 1830 Census where I found a daughter that would have been in the age range for Demaris for Jopseh Dowdy Branch #27 on oyour Web site. My husband's grandmother wrote down a marriage date of August 4, 1842 for Henry P and Demaris Dowdy. Unfortunately, she did not state where they were married. Since the Court House burnt in Graves Co, Ky during the Civil War, many records were lot. Nancy, I believe that I told you both Henry & Demaris were born in NC, I show they were born in TN, but both of their parents per the 1880 Graves Co, KY Census were born in NC.

I was unable to pull up George K Dowdy's Will at genconnett from your website. Probably it has moved elsewhere. I have also been unsuccessful in finding George K Dowdy in the 1850 Census. I did find his "supposed wife" Rebecca in the 1850 Obien Co, Tn living with a son.
