"From Mill Wheel to Plowshare" by Julia Angeline Drake and James Ridgely Orndorff, 1938, pg. 203, excerpt from the Diary of James Lewis McDowell:
"Sat. Aug. 15th, 1846. Left for Robertson Co in company with Bro. Reed. I arrived at old Mt. Carmel meeting house-my feelings were indescribably wrought up-here is where I received my early education-spent my school days and received my first religious impressions and here is bower, where in a glorious revival in 1832 at a camp meeting I first found peace in believing in the Saviour. I sought in the old graveyard the last resting place of my father and a younger sister (Martha.)"
Attention McDowell descendants: Have you checked this McDowell ancestry? Is your branch of the family aware that you are descended from several American Revolution soldiers and patriots? I have personally proven the service and descent for Joseph McDowell, 1st, Joseph McDowell, 2nd, John White and Jane Paisley White Gowdy.

This last is an old database which I have not updated, so it only comes down to McDowells in about the 1940s..
Enjoy the exploration!
