SAMUEL H. McDOWELL.

The old McDowell homestead, two miles southeast of Ronceverte, has been in possession of that family for five generations. The first occupant was John McDowell, a Protestant. Who emigrated from Cork, Ireland, in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and reached the land of his choice on the American coast in 1784. He was born November 15, 1759, and died after a residence in Greenbrier County of fifty-seven years. That was December 12, 1841. His wife sailed with him from the Isle of the Emerald Green and died here January 13, 18??. Their son, SAMUEL, born January 5, 1785, was the oldest of the children. Following came John, born November 1, 1787; Robert, March 2, 1789; James, April 5, 1791 ; Polly, January 15, 1796; William, October 21, 1801; Nancy, December 4, 1808.

The following post comes from the WVPIONEERS-L Archives at Rootsweb.

Subject: [WVPioneers] A different line of pioneers
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 15:13:37 -0800

My names of interest are McDowell and Harrison principally in the Greenbrier County area which extended originally to the Ohio River. My name is George Harrison. My WVA ancestors are John McDowell and Esther Ann Harrison McDowell. According to the Greenbrier Centennial Publication, they were among the first settlers in the Irish Corner district of greenbrier County in 1778 along with Erwin Williams, David McClure, and James Crawford.

According to the "History of Greenbrier County" by J.R.Cole, published in Lewisburg, West Virginia in 1917; the old McDowell homestead was located two miles southeast of Ronceverte. The original owner was John McDowell, a Protestant, who emigrated from Cork, Ireland, and reached America in 1784.

John McDowell was born in Ireland, 15 November,1759, and died 12 December, 1841 after a residence of 57 years in Greenbrier County. His wife, Esther Ann Harrison McDowell, was born in Ireland 12 March,1760; sailed with him from Ireland and died in Greenbrier County 13 January, 1844.

The date of their entry into America is still in question. However, Greenbrier County Court records mention John McDowell in proceedings of Tuesday 28 July, 1789. We also have a xerox copy of the deed of 26 April, 1796 which transfers 200 acres of land from Edward and Esther Barret to John McDowell.

John and Esther had seven children: Samuel born 5 January, 1785 John, Jr. born 1 November, 1787 Robert born 2 March, 1789 James born 5 April, 1791 Mary(Polly) born 15 January, 1796 William born 21 October, 1801 Nancy born 4 December, 1808.

There is considerable documentation for this family, which was followed through the use of Census data in some cases to present time. Care must be taken, however, since there was another McDowell family living just south of irish Corner in Monroe County. This as Archibald McDowell, who married Catherine Davis and had children named John, William and James. It would seem that McDowell's, although unrelated, all preferred the same names.

Most of my McDowells stayed in the Greenbrier are and were buried in the "Old McDowell Cementery" which is still maintained today by a relative named Sam Rodgers. The stone chimney and fireplace of John McDowell's original log cabin still exists. The only grave not to be found is that of Polly McDowell who is my direct ancester. She married Samuel Harrison, a man who emigrated from Ireland about 1814. Worked on the farm for John McDowell. Esther Ann Harrison McDowell was his cousin. Samuel Harrison married Polly McDowell on 12 September, 1820 and moved away. They moved first to Point Pleasant (WVA), then to Gallia County, Ohio,and finally to Beaver County, Pennsylvania where Polly died in 1859. Samuel Harrison moved to Noble County in 1864 to live with his youngest son, James McDowell Harrison . He died on 15 April, 1872 at the age of 80 years and is buried in the Hopewell Cemetery in Noble County, Indiana.

John and Esther Ann McDowell of Ireland and Irish Corner, Greenbrier County , West Virginia are my ggggrand parents. Like nearly all Harrison's, Esther Ann Harrison McDowell is supposed to have been a cousin to President William Henry Harrison. Also like most Harrison's, there is no proof of such a relationship.

John McDowell's DNA

The McDowell DNA Project is closed to anyone but testers. However, some testers have posted their results to ysearch.org, including a descendant of "Irish John." His ysearch ID is AA5PF.

If I'm correct, my John McDowell (1806-1879) is a grandson. Any Y descendants of his would have a matching Y chromosome to the tested John descendant. Please contact me if you are an eligible tester.
