The McDowell family is legion and it is not strange that in the extreme emphasis placed on Colonel Joseph McDowell, of Quaker Meadows (1756-1801) and his nephew Captain Joseph, of Pleasant Gardens (1758-1795), that another Joseph McDowell living in Guilford county should have been overlooked. The United States census of 1790 for North Carolina records two Josephs as "Heads of Families" in Burke county and the Joseph McDowell of Guilford county, who is thus registered:
Salisbury District - 1 free white male over 16; 2 free white males under 16; 3 free white females.
The first land record so far discovered shows that this Joseph McDowell held:
A tract of land containing two hundred and fifty acres lying and being in our county of Guilford on the waters of the south side Reedy Fork of Haw River beginning at a Black Gum in William Scotts line . . . near a branch running thence west crossing two branches one hundred sixty poles to a post oak thence north crossing a branch to Abraham Whitesides corner black oak thence . . . in John Whites line . . . to his corner stake thence . . . in William Scotts line. . . Record of deeds, Guilford county, NC Vol. 2, page 118.
There is also the following purchase of land:
This indenture made this fourth day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety four between Thos. Morgan of the county of Guilford and State of North Carolina of the one part and Joseph McDowell of the state and county afore of the other part witnesseth that the sd. Thos. Morgan for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred and fifteen pounds
hard money of said state hath . . . given granted bargained and sold . . . unto the sd. Joseph McDowell . . . that tract and parcel of land . . . on the waters of the Alemance containing two hundred acres more or less beginning at a stone near the bank of Burch creek on Wm. Peaseleys line . . . to a black oak marked Andrews corner . . . written signed sealed and delivered in presence of us.

(Record of deeds, Guilford county, Vol. 6, pp. 457-458).
This second tract of land, however, was purchased by his son, Joseph McDowell, Jr., as Joseph Sr., died in the late spring of 1797. The will of Joseph McDowell, Sr., is especially unique as Joseph Jr., who was one of the executors made a separate codicil listing all household articles, etc. He also retained the vouchers and court orders, which his son, Rev. James McDowell carefully preserved.
This James McDowell was a twin brother of Elizabeth McDowell born in Guilford county, North Carolina on June 5, 1797. When two years of age he was taken with the family to Tennessee. Enthused with the new pioneer spirit of he Cumberland Presbyterian church, he attended college at Louisville and obtained a degree. With the opening of the new church college at Princeton, Ky., in 1828, he entered and took a course in divinity. On September 12, 1830, he married Kitty Ann Rawlings, a young girl who had been carefully nurtured in a well-to-do Kentucky home. Immediate after their marriage the bride and groom left for the prairies of central Illinois. They traveled on horseback with the featherbed over the saddle and the dutch oven, axe and saw and tinder in the saddlebags. Soon after their arrival in Tazewell county, a Cumberland Presbyterian church was established in Aaron Orendorff's home, the formal organization taking place on November 28, 1830. Aaron Orendorff, who married his sister Martha McDowell, had been among the first pioneers into the county from Robertson county, Tennessee in 1827 and had been instrumental in urging him to come.
Through the permission of James McDowell's granddaughter, Mrs. H.P. Anderson of Terra Bella, California, the author has had the permission to make photostat copies of these documents which supplement the state records.
The following is the will of Joseph McDowell, Sr.

A copy of the will and an inventory.
An amount of vouchers produced by Joseph McDowell Jr. and France McCain Executors of the estate of Joseph McDowell, Sr. Deceased in their settlement of said estate . . . Twenty vouchers totalling ￡140-10-10.
Joseph McDowell Jr. married Martha White, only child of John White who lived on an adjoining farm. Robert White, Sr., father of John White, the McDowells, Boyds and Paisleys moved from Scotland to North Ireland. John White and his wife moved from North Ireland with the McDowells, Paisleys and Boyds to North Carolina. One of the McDowells moved off of his farm or plantation, which was near the battle ground of Cowpens, SC. Some records state that Martha McDowell, Joseph's oldest daughter was born near Cowpens, South Carolina, in 1790. . .
A New Testament printed in Ireland in 1762, bears Jane Gowdy White's signature dated September 4, 1765. It also contains the following records:
John White born October 1, 1734, married Jane Gowdy June 20, 1762. Their daughter Martha White born June 20, 1763.
Children of Martha White & Joseph McDowell:
- Joseph McDowell born March 22, 1788
- Martha McDowell born January 29, 1790
- Jane McDowell
- Elizabeth born June 5, 1797
- James born June 5, 1797
- Abner
The will of John White registered in Guilford county also reveals some interesting facts:
In the name of God Amen February 5th, 1797 I John White being very sick and weak of body but of perfect mind and memory blessed be God . . . do make this my last will and testament . . .
Secondly - I give and bequeath unto my beloved son-in-law Joseph McDowell the two thirds of all my lands and also the remaining part of my personal estate not disposed of as above to be by him freely enjoyed forever.
And I do hereby constitute, make ordain my beloved wife Jean, Joseph McDowell, June and Robert Peasley my sole executors of this my last will and testament . . .

Will probated May 20, 1797, Guilford County Court Minutes, Vol. 1, p. 261.
Joseph McDowell disposed of this land in 1795 and 1801, as follows:
1. Joseph McDowell to William Scott - this indenture made this thirty-first day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety five between Joseph McDowell Junr., of Guilford county and state of North Carolina of the one part and William Scott . . . for and in consideration of the sum of three dollars . . . Doth give grant bargain sell . . . unto the said William Scott . . . a certain piece or parcel of land situated lying and being in the county and state aforesaid and on the north side of the Reedy Fork of Haw river being part of a tract of land formerly belonging to John White and sd. John White by his last will and testament left said to the said Joseph McDowell Jr. . . . containing one acre and fifteen poles . . . beginning on Joseph McDowell Junr., west line in the edge of a hollow below William Scotts barn . . . opposite William Scotts spring house . . . Record of Deeds, Guilford Co., NC Vol. 6, p. 57
2. Joseph McDowell and Jane Gowdy to John Thompson . . . 18 Feb. 1801 between Joseph McDowell and Jane Gowdy widow of the county of Guilford . . . of the one part and John Thompson of the same county . . . of the other part witnesseth that for and in consideration of the sum of eighteen hundred dollars to the sd. Joseph McDowell and Jane Gowdy . . . a certain piece parcel or tract of land originally granted to John White by the state of North Carolina and by him devised to the sd. Joseph McDowell and Jane Gowdy . . . containing six hundred and forty acres excluding one acre and fifteen poles where the widow Scotts barn stands . . . Record of Deeds, Guilford County, NC, Vol. 7, pp. 320-321.
Family records seem to indicate that Joseph McDowell Jr., migrated to Williamson county, Tennessee, in 1799, but his mother-in-law Jane Gowdy White remained in Guilford County, on the home farm, until the farm was sold in 1801.
. . . we find that Joseph McDowell did not sell the tract of land that he purchased from Thomas Morgan in 1794 before 1801. Guilford County Deeds, Vol. 7, p. 497.
The McDowells seem to have been closely associated with James McGready, the famous Presbyterian divine. McGready's parents had been early immigrants into Guilford county, but they sent James back to western Pennsylvania to be educated for the ministry. He boarded with Judge McDowell in Cannonsburg and studied Latin under the keen intellectual thinker, Dr. John McMillan. . . . With a high missionary resolve to carry the vital religion into the west he departed for southern Kentucky in 1796. By 1800 he had established the three congregations of Gasper RIver, Muddy River and Red River. Enormous crowds flocked to the Red River church, in June 1800, some with tents and food. The next month the first camp meeting held at Gasper church. Records of W.A. Provine, Tennessee Historical Society. [Our Mauldings settled near the Red River church in Logan Co., KY about this time.]
M'Gready says "But the year 1800 exceeds all that ever beheld on earth. In June the sacrament was administered at Red River. On Monday multitudes were struck in awful conviction. From this place it spread that summer wherever meetings for continued preaching were held." Foote, Sketches of NC, p. 37.
One family record states that Joseph McDowell and his half-brother James McDowell, moved from Carolina first to Williamson county, Tennessee, but soon afterwards moved up to the northern part of Robertson county, six or seven miles south of Adairville, Ky. It is possible that their interest in the Presbyterian movement and the dynamic personality of M'Gready led the McDowells to remove from Williamson county to the Kentucky border, shortly after they had gone into Tennessee from Guilford county, for they settled near the Red River and became active members. A receipt for church dues signed by M'Gready has been preserved in the family archives.
As early as 1804, extant land records show that Joseph McDowell, Jr., was living in Robertson county, although he maintained his land in Williamson county at least until 1814, as shown by the following record:
Received of Joseph McDowels (by the Smiths) two dollars and thirty cents, his state, county and poor tax, in Williamson county, for the year 1814, Tenn.
Large military grants were taken out by Joseph McDowell, of Burke county in Kentucky, after the American Revolution but the majority of the land records in Tennessee, especially after 1800 refer to the Joseph of our line. The following records are available.
Know ye that we have granted unto Joseph McDowell assignee, of John Brown a captain in the Continental line, one thousand seven hundred and eighty acres of land in Davidson county on Pleasant Creek emptying Cumberland River on the north side . . . to the said Joseph McDowell . . . Dated 14th March, 1786. Signed R. Caswell, Ephraim Davidson, John Dyar, Warrant 800 Book A, p. 17.
Know ye that we have granted unto Joseph McDowell 640 acres of land in Davidson county on the east side of Mill Creek . . . dated 25th November 1789 . . .

In 1910, Grimes published Abstracts of North Carolina Wills - in his words: "An abstract of every will found in the office of the Secretary of State is published herein" around 2579 wills, dating from 1663 to the 1780s. . . .
Olds, in 1925, published Abstract of North Carolina Wills, ca. 1760 - ca. 1800, intended to be a listing and brief abstract of all wills recorded in North Carolina in the 1760-1800 period. Olds (p. 6) stated: "Most wills are carried only in the will books, the originals having ceased to exist. Of the will books, many have been lost." . . .
For this 1663-1900 Index, the listings of wills for the 1760-1900 period have all been taken directly from the will books in the courthouses, page by page, and not from the Cross-Indexes to Wills (many of the Cross-Indexes were found to contain serious errors and omissions). A listing of North Carolina wills for the 1801-1900 period will be especially valuable, as this information, for most of the counties, has never before been published.Buncombe County
