Gary,
Thanks for that reply.Over the weekend, I found a few pages dedicated to that same family in the Dowland book.I don't think I had noticed them before...they were just sandwiched in there somewhere between unconnected families.The book has Sheridine and details his son Samuel's descendants pretty well.There is a photo of Samuel and several of his children.Also a photo of some of the tombstones.
Gary, have you ever talked to any of the Dowlin or Dowlen descendants from that area?I noticed in the Chester records a William Dowlin born 1787 who married Hannah Cloud.William's father believed to be John Dowlin (would have been born before 1770 at least) who married Jemina Powell.Also, a John Dowlen born about 1790, his father was James Dowlen who married Ann (last name unknown).James would have been born about 1770 or earlier also.I sometimes find Dowlands and Dowlins/Dowlens in the same family.
