Research Notes - McDowell Family

John Grove Speer in his memoir states:

Grand-mother Speer's maiden name was Margaret Cloyd; where born I do not know. . . . Gen. Joseph McDowell, of Revolutionary war fame, was her uncle, whose life and service in freedom's cause is made honorable mention of in our country's history of that struggle. 

The Catawba river runs through Burke County, and McDowell County joins Burke on the west, and Marion is the county seat. After her marriage she visited her uncle Joseph McDowell and it seems he thought very highly of her, for when her visit was out and she was ready to return home, he gave her a negro girl and boy to take home with her. I have thought that her mother was a sister of Joseph McDowell - if not, McDowell's wife was a Cloyd. I am inclined to the first view, for I always heard it said that he was her uncle. It was said that he was wealthy and owned a good many negroes. My grand-mother either hired these colored servants, or they were a present to her from her uncle McDowell.  I take it that the McDowells are of Scotch descent.

Margaret Cloyd was born ca. 1760 probably in VA the probable daughter of Thomas Cloyd, definitely sister of Solomon Cloyd.  She married John Speer ca. 1784 in North Carolina.

Married: Patience (--?--) ca. 1688

Biography: Samuel Odell, son of William, in 1684 had from his father William all his title and interest in the White Plains purchase.  He removed, like his brother [John] to the manor of Fordham, where with his wife Patience he was 'very well settled to their satisfaction,' when, about the year 1693, his uncle Jonathan Vowles, of Rye, 'happening at that time to be parted and living separate from his then wife Deborah, and being alone and having no children, persuaded him to leave his habitation and to go and live with him.' In compensation for his services, about nine years after, according to his own statement, Samuel received, by deed from Vowles, the southernmost part of Mounsting [Manussing] Island, containing about 150 acres.' Six or seven years after, says Samuel, Deborah, who was then living with her husband, came and borrowed the deed, and he has never seen it since. He returned to Fordham (about 1708, apparently), but persisted in his

Lathrop Reunion - 2019

Yesterday was Lathrop reunion in Fairfield, Illinois.  This is the annual gathering of the descendants of Joel & Louisa (Dove) Lathrop. This year is the 160th anniversary of grandpa Joel's birth and the 141st anniversary of grandma Louisa's birth.  We didn't have a big turnout, but the food and fellowship, as always was great.
