Cornelius Doud/Dowd
I am helping my son-in-law research his ancestry.He is a grandson of Cornelius Franklin Doud who was born March 01, 1909 in Tennessee and died January 1984 in Fayetteville, Lincoln Co., TN.Cornelius was married Dec. 4, 1927 in Giles Co., Tennessee, to Pearl Mae Bryant who was born in 1911 and died Nov. 1994 in Fayetteville.Cornelius and Pearl had ten children.In the 1920 census Cornelius is found living in the household of his grandmother as follows:

(Note: Rufus "Jim" Doud says that his grandfather Cornelius F. Doud was an only childof his father and had a half-sister Mary who married a funeral director in Nashville.Alma is probably his mother.)
Preliminary research leads me to believe he may be a descendant of Connor Dowd of Moore Co., NC.I will post the notes I have made so far.These are very preliminary and I am in the "guessing" stage of this research. Very little information is available from the family at this point, although I will be making contact with any living family members to see if I can get some corroborating data.
