General Notes: Husband - William M. McDowell

---

He studied law, but the record of his admission to the Bar has been lost. He was clerk to the County Commissioners, 1811-15, and prosecuting attorney, 1815-19. He served in Capt. Samuel D. Culbertson's company for the defense of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1814. His uncle, John McDowell, LL. D., in 1820, left $300 in trust for him for the purchase of law books, if he chose to continue to pursue his profession.
