Hi Karen,
I came across your message by chance late last night. I certainly really want to 'chat' about the DOWER connections.
(J.C. is nickname).
I hadn't looked at this area of my FH for a while, and now have some time available through enforced convalescence from hospital.
When I originally posted, I was in Canada, but am now in Scotland - different time zone ....
If you go to:-

Have you come across a Shea Sullivan? She appears to be researching the same/similar family members.
I cannot email you as you have gone 'private', but via here or one of my forums we might be able to arrange something.
I look forward to hearing back from you, assuming you remain interested. I need to say, I'm so glad I saw your message. Last year was rather difficult for me on the 'net so I did miss a lot.
Best Wishes.
