Ann McDowell, b. 3 Jul 1816 - probably in/near Raloo Parish, Antrim; d. 23 Jan 1900 Tennessee, USA; Spouse: John Downing Jones; married 1836 South Carolina, USA
Parents: Hugh McDowell, b. abt 1787 Raloo; d. South Carolina USA 1829 & Jane ? b. abt 1783 Antrim? d. after 1860 in Tennessee USA
Hugh McDOWELL was born c.1785 in Raloo, County Antrim, Ireland, based on his age given on the ship's manifest and on his statement of birthplace when he made application for citizenship in 1828. He arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, USA in November 1820 on ship Prince Leopold from Belfast with sons John (age 14) & Thomas (age 7) and daughters Mary (age 5) & Ann (age 3). Wife Jane is believed to have stayed behind in Ireland, possibly because she was about to give birth; in 1836 the administrator of Hugh's estate paid -- on the authority of daughters Ann and Mary, who had reached an age to receive their inheritance -- expenses to bring "their mother and brother" from Ireland. The brother is not named but their mother's name is given as Mrs. Jane McDowell. Later records indicate the brother's name was William, b. July 1820.
I believe there is a connection to Hugh McDowell, b. 1690, d. 13 Oct 1786; buried in Kilwaughter Old Graveyard & his wife Janet.
I would love to know: Jane's maiden name, Hugh's parent's names.
