General Notes: Husband - Thomas McDowell

---

The McDowells are of Scotch-Irish descent, the first settlement having been made in colonial days by Thomas McDowell, in Little Britain township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

He first settled in Washington County, PA, near McConnell's Mill, Chartiers township, and in 1779 took a patent for 400 acres in Mt. Pleas­ant township.

He followed farming and hunting, being an enthusiast in the latter pur­suit.
