This information has come from many sources, but here are some special family contributors (married name(s) in parentheses):
  • Thomas Rankin McDowell
  • John Norman McDowell
  • Dorothy Elizabeth McDowell (Morris)
  • Mary Elizabeth McDowell (Whitaker/Jamar)

And some books and online sources of information: Notes
  1. John ap Thomas is named as Cadwalader Jones' father by Futhey & Cope but Bob McKeon has concluded that Cadwalader's father was John ap Cadwalader.
  2. Thomas Mendenhall and Joan Strode/Stroud had nine children, two of whom (Benjamin and Mary) are ancestors of Dorothy Elizabeth McDowell. Benjamin Mendenhall's great-granddaughter, Hannah Mendenhall, married Mary Mendenhall's great-grandson, Jacob Pusey so Hannah and Jacob were third cousins.
  3. Moses St. John and Mercy Olmstead were first cousins.
Veterans
  • John Norman McDowell (1892 - 1958) 1st Lieutenant, World War I
  • Henry Clay Broas (1843 - 1932) - Sergeant, Civil War
  • James McDowell (1742 - 1815) - Captain, Chester County Militia, American Revolution

  • (also a loyalist who attempted to facilitate a proposed British advance from Philadelphia to York to capture Congress)
  • Joshua Pusey (1738 - 1804) - Private, Chester County Militia, American Revolution
    Joshua would likely be appalled to be listed among my militant ancestors.
    As a Quaker, he fervently believed in pacifism. Being wealthy and a leading citizen, he was appointed by his Monthly Meeting to the 'Committee of Conference', a Quaker organization created during the Revolution to aid those 'under trial and suffering', and to 'encourage and sustain members to withold their aid and support of the war'.
    Although Joshua was drafted into the local militia, there is no evidence that he ever attended muster. He may or may not have paid the consequent fines and may or may not have received redress after the war.
    Regardless of the exact details, Joshua was not a soldier and was firmly in the 1/3 of Americans who attempted to stay out of the conflict between loyalists and patriots.
  • Evan Jones (1721 - 1809) - Soldier, French & Indian War (or this might have been another Evan Jones)
  • William Belden (1671 - 1759) - Sergeant in King Phillip's War
