Augusta Co VA was formed in 1738 from part of Orange Co and is located in the Shenandoah Valley on the western edge. It was originally a huge area but many parts were carved out to form new counties and several states. It is the 2nd largest county in the state. John Dowling, son of Robert Dowling and Sarah Guinn, was born in 1759 in Augusta Co, VAG.^1,2

Originally a heavily wooded area, the settlement of what is now Darlington Co began after 1736 and 1737 when the province of South Carolina set aside a vast area of land for the Welsh Baptists of Delaware. This Welsh Tract bordered both sides of the Pee Dee River. For almost thirty years, settlers concentrated on the banks and small tributaries of the Pee Dee River. Local government did not exist for the citizens of the area. All deeds, estate settlements, and other legal matters had to be taken to Charles Town.
Beginning in the 1760s, and continuing in the the 1770s, other groups made their way into present-day Darlington, and were granted lands on the Lynches River, Jeffries Creek, and a host of other water courses. These settlers included descendants of French Huguenots, Scots-Irish, and the English.
In 1769, the Cheraws District was one of the new districts formed in South Carolina to replace the Anglican parishes.
John Dowling and [WO] served in. Captain Laucher's St Marie's Company in 1st Regiment of South Carolina Infantry commanded by Col Charles Coatsworth Pinckney from Nov 1775 through 1780. In 1782 he was put in Benton Regiment Marion Brigade and took part in all activities of that Regiment.¹
. Four and a half years after John's enlistment in Pickney's Regiment his name disappeared from its rolls. John's company, commanded by Levacher de Saint Marie, was possibly one of the American organizations defeated at Charleston. In any event, it was not until 1782 that his military service for this idea of self-government was again recorded. It was then that he is known to have been a guerilla with the dreaded 'Swamp-fox', Francis Marion.³

John Dowling married Nancy Boutwell, daughter of Burtonhead Boutwell, II, and Saoni woBurtonheadBoutwell, in 1783 in Jeffries Creek, Cheraws Dist, SCG+.^1,3
. Sister-in-law Mary Boutwell Dowling had probably introduced him to the bride some years earlier, for this was Mary's sister Nancy. Both were daughters of Burtonhead Boutwell. Bride Nancy was twenty years of age, John was twenty-four. After his marriage, the remaining forty-three years of his life were to be spent near Jefferies Creek. This was the place that father Robert had brought him to from Virginia. And it was the place where all of John's little Dowlings would be born.

. .

Dempsey Dowling, son of John Dowling and Nancy Boutwell, was born on 14 December 1783 in Jeffries Creek, Cheraws Dist, SCG+. He was the first child. The name they gave him, Dempsey, must have been the surname of some family friend. Absolutely nothing is known of his childhood.^2,3

Dempsey Dowling married Martha Stokes, daughter of John Henry Stokes and Nancy Patience Alford, on 22 September 1803 in Darlington Dist, SCG+.¹


Dempsey Dowling was the Head of Household in the census in 1810 in Darlington Dist, SCG+. Dempsey Dooling: males 2<10 (Wesley, Noel), 1 26-44 (Dempsey); females 3 (Lacy, Elizabeth, Millie) <10 , 1 26-44 (Martha.)⁶

. The War of 1812 set in motion a chain of circumstance which, in the years following it, would cause thousands of Dempsey's descendants to be Alabamians instead of Carolinians. Scores of men such as his brother Zacheus from the old colonies were sent to the edges of young America for defense against the British. Those who went 'to the West' (meaning such places as New Orleans) were enthralled by the sight of such beautiful woodlands, as lay in the un-civilized void between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi river-towns.

In 1822, the year before daughter Elizabeth died, Dempsey was elected an elder in his church upon the recommendation of the Pee Dee District Conference that encompassed the Salkehatchee area. It was his reliance in God that prepared this father for such grief as present by this twin's death. Elizabeth was the only child of fourteen who did not live to adulthood and who has no descendants.The other daughters lived to an average age of 52 and the seven sons lived to an average age of seventy. This includes one who died 'early' in the Civil War.

Year after year, following the war, the stories around the hearths 'back home' grew richer in the tribute paid the land toward the setting sun.

In 1824, a South Carolinian, Elisha Matthews of Darlington District, had accompanied a group to the territory surrounding the confluence of the east and west branches of the Choctawhatchee River in what is now Dale Co AL. Young Matthews was hired there by a Mr. Mills to teach his children, and a few of some neighbors' children. This was the first school ever held in southeast Alabama. That same summer the first white man's craft ever to ply the Choctawhatchee came northward to the blockhouse that had just been erected. The blockhouse was less than a mile east from the point at which the four lane bridge crosses the river south of Ozark.

After returning to SC, Elisha married Lacy, the oldest child of Dempsey and Martha. Having received good reports about Dale Co AL from his newly-married daughter, Lacy Matthews, Rev Dempsey Dowling felt the need to go forth and spread the Methodist gospel as brother Zacheus was doing and as Bishop Asbury had brought it unto them. This was weighing heavily on his mind.

He sold his 330-acre farm in the Jeffries Creek area of SC (lying on both sides of Lake Swamp) on 27 Sep 1825 and proceeded to move to AL. The subsequent trip to AL took six months. The Dowling wagon train arrived at the Ft Gaines crossing over the Chattahoochee River on 1 Mar 1826 and a week later they were begining a new life at the Richmond (just north of Napier Field in Dale Co AL) settlement in AL. Richmond was the first 'Town' that Dale Co ever had. Richmond was five miles east of the blockhouse on a trail to a ford down-river from Ft. Gaines, where the town of Comlubia was to be founded.

But Richmond's death-knell had been sounded when Dale Co was formed. Henry Co officials were evacuating its courthouse as Dempsey arrived. They would have to build another 'town' to replace this old one which now lay in the wrong county. It had been decided that its seat of government should be in the central part of the county.

Rev Dowling only stayed in Richmond for two years and then he moved to a new, double-pen round log house on Hurricane Creek, two miles southwest of present-day Ozark, where he spent the remainder of his long life, raising his large family there. (in the SW 1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 1, Township 5, Range 24). Some years later, Dempsey paid the government $50.18 for this forty acre tract. The price indicates that it was the choicest.

There was very little preaching or religious services being conducted in Dale Co during the 1820s. Apparently the Rev John McDonald, a Methodist preacher who later settled near Skipperville, preached a sermon in the open air as early as 1818. Rev McDonald was followed by Rev Dempsey Dowling. Occasionally a missionary passed through the county holding services at the homes of the settlers.

About the time he moved to his last home, Dempsey helped found Claybank Church. He, two brothers, three sons, and numerous other descendants preached there. The century old trees that were hewn square for its construction came from son Edward's land. The supporting blocks came from son John Sr.'s land. Rafe, the negro slave of Edward, did most of the log hewing. It is a certainty that no work was done on the Sabbath for a early edition of the 'Alabama Historical Quarterly' states that Dempsey did not even allow meals to be cooked on Sunday. He always had his family walk to the three miles to Claybank services so that his beasts of burden might rest.

Claybank church was built in 1829 and 1830. (Dempsey's son Noel married John's daughter Sarah). 'It had no denominational ties, as denominational differences disappeared in the desire to have a house for God and for His servants.' In 1829 the SC Conference of the Methodist Church sent William Steagall to the Chattahoochee Mission. It is known that he preached at Claybank as one of the early circuit riding ministers.


The three Dowling brothers were strict in their lives and in their teachings going beyond the standard of religious work usually recognized in pioneering. But they had the courage of their convictions and persisted in planting the seeds of the gospel along with evil which was springing up on all sides.

Their course often brought criticism which occasionally ripened into bitter persecutions. Rev Dempsey, being the most prominent, as well as the most progressive, came in for the large share of persecution. God seemed to have set His seal of approval on the life and works of this Martyr to his cause, for while the name and posterity of his most rabid persecutiors have almost

The three Dowling brothers were strict in their lives and in their teachings going beyond the standard of religious work usually recognized in pioneering. But they had the courage of their convictions and persisted in planting the seeds of the gospel alongwith evil which was springing up on all sides.

Their course often brought criticism which occasionally ripened into bitter persecutions. Rev Dempsey, being the most prominent, as well as the most progressive, came in for the large share of persecution.God seemed to have set His seal of approval on the life and works of this Martyr to his cause, for while the name and posterity of his most rabid persecutiors have almost faded from among men, the posterity of Rev Dempsey Dowling, like that of Abraham, have 'become as the sands of the sea, and the stars of the heavens', and possesses a goodly portion in the land of our fathers. Very few if any of them are homeless and they are generally considered good citizens.

In 1832 the Methodists created the Alabama Conference out of a part of the old Tallahassee District, and 41 year old Zacheus Dowling, Dempsey's brother, was assigned to the Choctawhatchee Circuit which extended up to Eufaula, at the edge of the Creek Indian Nation. The Rev Dempsey Dowling helped organize a religious camp meeting in 1832 and 1833 at Claybank Church, and he helped organize one at old Westville Beat in the late 1830s.


An indication of the pay received by Dempsey for his pioneer preaching may be gained by our knowledge that a contemporary, just north of Dale Co in the Pea River Mission, received fifty dollars for his year of work. Therefore, Rev Dowling's major occupation had to be farming. By 1850, he owned thirteen slaves. Their worth probably consittuted the major of his personal worth of $15,070 as recorded on the 1860 census.


Wife Martha died in 1859.

The Dale Co Tombstone Book shows that Dale Co AL contains more Dowling graves that those of any other surname.

Many of Dempsey's descendants followed his calling. Great-grandson Will C. Hughes, a Texas minister, stated that he knew of forty-two preachers who descended from this patriarch. One of these forty-two, Angus, was reported by the 'Alabama Christian Advocate' to have made over 2,000 conversions during his ministry.

Rev Dempsey Dowling died two weeks after the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox on the day that South's final force surrendered to Sherman at Greensboro, SC on 26 Apr 1865.

She married Elisha Matthews on Christmas eve,24 Dec 1824. This was only two days after the far off Alabamalegislature was proclaiming a new county 'to be called Dale'. Thefollowing month, Lacy left Jefferies Creek with husband Elisha and alarge caravan, composed primarily of his kinfolks. The destinationwas Dale Co AL where Lacy resided until her death. Elisha's father,Moses Matthews, Jr. was captain of the wagon-train.

As a girl offifteen, she married the brother-in-law of her Aunt Lacy Matthews, hisname was Moses Gordon Matthews. This marriage took place on 2 Feb1843 and left numerous descendants. In 1870 Gordon and Martha Annemployed Mr. Lilly White to build Ozark's first hotel. There wereonly seventeen-hundred people there at the time but the loss ofsouthern territory by Dale County to newlyt formed Geneva wascausing athird move of the county seat. For the first time in county history,the courthouse was going to an existing town and things were expectedto boom. The Matthews had the two story structure painted white andemblazoned the word 'Hotel' across its front. Gordon's deathseveral short years later on 17 Feb 1877, threw the hotel's managementinto Martha Ann's capable lap. For thirty-three years she ran it sosuccessfully that drummers all over the South knew of the MatthewsHotel. Mrs. Matthews owned Ozark's first organ. The southeast AL'sfirst band was organized by her son-in-law, Eugene R. Jordan. Hergreat-granddaughter, Irene Jordan, became a popular Metropolitan Operasinger; Irene's sister, Mrs. Martha Gilliland, was a MedicalMissionary in Africa. It is told that before Martha Ann'sson-in-law Jason Fain, and other county commissioners, had voted toerect the old iron bridge near Newton, the touring Robinson Circus hadaccommodations for the top brass reserved at Mrs. Matthew's hotelnorth of there. Mr. Robinson had been confronted with quite a problemwith the rist presented by the rickety bridge to his elephants. Hecircumvented that by having them ford the Choctawhatchee. Later, inOzark, Mr. Robinson began determining how many complimentary ticketshis hot's 'little ones' would need for the night's performance. Therewere enough of the fifty grandchildren of Martha Ann's within callingdistance that it has always been assumed that this gentleman neverforgot Dale Co. Martha Ann died on 3 Feb 1910 at the age ofeighty-two. Martha Ann and Gordon are both buried in Ozark's 'Union'Baptist Church, now First Baptist. MAJOR REFERENCE: A Dowling Familyof the South (157.)

Nancy was also known as Nancy Casey.
Nancy was born about 1755. based on census records and estimated marriage date.

Jeremiah M Casey ~16 married Nancy ~15 about 1770. Best guess based on estimated birth years of Jeremiah's children.^1,23,24,2

On 6 December 1811 in the will of Jeremiah M Casey in Richmond Co, NCG, wife Nancy was listed as an heir.²
. It is possible but not conclusive that she was living with one of her sons in a later census. In the partial 1820 Richmond Co NC census still available, there is no older woman living with son Lemuel. Son James has not been located in the 1810 or 1820 census.⁵
Nancy died estimated January 1831 in Richmond Co, NCG.
. NOTE: The families of James Casey and Lemuel Casey moved to Alabama in1832. Therefore it is considered likely that the older female living with James Casey in 1830 Richmond Co NC was probably his mother Nancy. The sons probably decided to move after their mother's death. This was a typical practice in those times for some of the younger children, particularly sons, to move away in the search for new land after their parents died.
It is unknown if the 1790 Wayne Co NC census is correct or not. Only 4 females are listed in the household. A puzzling question is why Zilpha is the only daughter with the family in 1800 Richmond Co. At this time, Jeremiah had 6 daughters. One wife would make a total of 7 females. Why did they not move to Richmond Co with the family? Where were they in 1800? They were not listed with Sarah Casey Sanderford's family in Cabarrus Co in1800. I am told that there was a gold rush in Cabarrus Co NC around1800.
There definitely appears to be a Cabarrus Co (northeast of Charlotte) connection for the family. Sarah and Nancy were probably married in1800. Lovey possibly married in April 1800, Elizabeth married in 1802,and Mary possibly in 1807. Some estimate of age can be made for Sarah, Elizabeth, Nancy, James, Lemuel, and Zilpha based on census records.

Sally Kirkland was also known as Sally Casey. She was also known as Sally Casey.¹ She. 1850 In the 1850 Barbour Co AL census, James Casey farmer NC 60, Nancy 23 AL, Mary 7 AL, James 3 AL. Sally has probably died. Since she was 50-60 in the 1840 census, the children are probably not hers.

RESEARCH NOTES:
The Kirklands in 1830 Henry Co are too numerus to research at thi stime. Maybe the Barbour Co land records research will provide some clues. She, was born about 1795.
