Charlene, there are two Robert J. McDows in my family tree that I know of. Robert # 1 was 13 in 1829. His siblings were: William C. (16), John F. (14), Temperance (13). Robert J. married Sarah
Segars.
Robert J. McDow # 2 was Robert
Johnston McDow. His siblings were: Frances Emeline, William
Taylor, Marion
Radway, Amanda Zenoba (
America), Jane A. D.
If either of these are your ancestor I have a little more info on them. I am trying to locate John Floyd
McDow born in
GA abt 1814, married Mary Ann Elizabeth
Townsend. I need to know when and where he died. Last report I have of him is 1870
Blount Co. AL census. Thank you and let me know if I can help you further.
