Message Board Post:
I know of only seven children of Sarah/Sally Cleland and Thomas Dowden:
Mary Jane Dowden Owens and her husband had at least one child, Dr. Asa Owens, who settled
in Illinois.
William Ashford Dowden (1779-1851) was married to Nancy Ann (maiden name not yet known).
They had four sons and three daughters. He and Nancy are buried in Dowden Cemetery,
Shelby County, Ohio.
Martha Dowden Kenton, Simon Kenton's first wife, was severely burned in a fire in
Mason County, Kentucky, while she was lying in bed awaiting the birth of a child. After
being rescued from the fire, she gave birth to a stillborn infant and died soon after (on
December 13, 1796).
Thomas and Sally's other children were John, Archibald, Thomas, Jr., and Jane.
I would be glad to share information. Please contact me at jaj523(a)juno.com. I have more
info, especially on Sarah's ancestry.
Jane Osborne Jones, Bradenton, FL
