Family Histories
Dowdy AKA Israel
Emma Mae Sanders wrote this book for a specific reason. She says, in her dedication, "For my family and those descendants who have been unable to trace their lineage before 1902 when my grandfather John Jacob Dowdy relocated and changed his birth name to John Jacob Israel. I have spent the past twenty years in researching and compiling this book so that his living descendants and those that follow will know our true lineage, family history, and the kinship to our Dowdy and Israel relatives. And, for future descendants of Richard Dowdy, the pump maker, and his son Richard Dowdy, the Revolutionary Soldier of Screven County, Georgia; so that their story and the hardships they endured and part they played in insuring the freedoms we enjoy today are known to their descendants and not lost with the passage of time." Emma carefully and meticulously documented one of the most difficult challenges genealogists face: connecting the threads of one man's complete break with his past. The book is an excellent model for that kind of research. It's filled with documents, including DAR papers. NOTE: Only a limited number of these lovely, hard bound books are available. When they're gone, they're gone. The Lives and Legends of the Ozark Yoakums

The Family of John Jones, 1755-1811 (With a Ewing Connection) Bobbie Jones McLane had to start early on her genealogy because she had two Jones lines. This one, starts with John Jones, who was born about 1755, probably in Charleston, South Carolina. He was a resident of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and died in 1811 in Caldwell County, Kentucky. His wife was Sarah Jolley. They had about eight children and their descendants are everywhere. One son, Robert Jones, married Melinda Ewing, and Bobbie has included a great deal of Ewing data, starting with John Ewing who was born about 1660 in Scotland and died about 1745. Bobbie produced this book in modified register format (used by National Genealogical Society) and included copies of many source documents. If there are your folks, you need this book.
