Micajah Dowell-TRAITS of The Descendants

My ancestor Barksdale Dowell (1833-1924) lived to be 91. He was one of Micajah's grandsons via Drinkard Dowell. My grandfather Coleman Dowell remembers that Barksdale (whom he called "Grandpap") still made 20-30 mile trips on foot as a very old man to visit his children & their families.
One trait that's a big part of my branch of the Dowell family is their love of & talent for music. Does anyone know anecdotal info from the past about this trait?
