Dowdle Rowland was in Ray County, MO, by 1819. His son Jesse Dotson Rowland was born in IN in 1816. He was in Saline Co, MO, for some months before coming to Ray Co., where he was definitely living in 1819. We would be interested in any information you have placing him in KY between these times. Dowdle Rowland was my ggggrandfather, through son Jesse Dotson Rowland, through his son Lyman Hill Rowland, through his daughter Viola M Rowland Tanner, through her daughter Aurelia Tanner Swafford. My mother has all the information from the family Bible, even though the Bible is held in another branch of the family. It contains a complete record of Dowdle's family. She has proven, she thinks, all children of Matthew Rowland, brother of Dowdle. She believes there was another brother George, who also had a son named Jesse (E) but she has not been able to prove that. If you are looking for stories and tidbits, particularly about Dowdle's family line, she can supply them. Please contact me at [email protected] if you would like to be put in touch with her.
