Hello:
I hope someone can help me ! I have been at a standstill with this family
for five years now.
My husband's great grandparents were John W. DOWNEY,b. Aug. 1859 and wife,
Mary A., b. May 1862; both born in IN.
Children: all born in IN.....
Bertram G., b. Feb. 1882; Zena B.,b.June 1883; Ada G, b. Nov. 1884; Thomas
O., b. May 1886; John s., b. Sept 1887; Bennett or Benjamin, b. Aug. 1890;
Jesse R or B, b. Feb. 1892; Mary C., b. Jan. 1896; Charles, b. Apr. 1898
and Goldie May, b. Mar. 1900.
In 1900, they lived in Fort Wayne, Allen County. The family removed to 215
Pontiac St.,Rochester, Fulton County.
In 1920, the family consisted of the parents: John and Mary, plus Benjamin,
Jesse, dau-in-law Bessie , and a grandson John E (born in No. Dakota).
Another grandson, Louis Downey (born in IN in 1916) and was the son of John
S Downey and Ellen Stewart, also lived there.
Does anyone know anything at all about this DOWNEY family ?
I will be deeply grateful for any scrap of information concerning this
family.
Regards,
Arline
