“to the Dowlings who served in America's wars” WEB PUBLISHER’S NOTE Maud Dowling Turner authored this document in 1946 for the dedication of a plaque honoring those in the Dowling Family who served in America’s wars – from the Revolutionary War through World War II. It was presented at the Dowling Family Reunion in Hampton South Carolina that year. I obtained my copy from a cousin. It contains a great deal of history of the Dowling family. Since it is apparently no longer in print, I have prepared this web to assist other Dowlings in the search for their family’s history. The Dowlings honored on the plaque and in this publication are members of the Robert Dowling family, chiefly Robert’s descendants by his son James and James’ son John. This is the same family mentioned in A Dowling Family of the South. This copy was prepared using optical character recognition of a copy of the original. Due to the differing styles and formatting of the original, the OCR software had difficulty with many words. While I have attempted to proofread it carefully, if you find any apparent typographical errors, please contact me and I will check them against the original. I have attempted to retain the original wording and punctuation as closely as possible. However, I have resized and relocated the photographs to place them beside the story of the person in the photograph. I also changed the original two-column layout in order to format it for the Web. The few changes or additions I have made to the text are contained within brackets [ ]. Note however that the original author used parentheses () to denote her notes or comments. I have also shown her notes in a slightly smaller font. The asterisk (*) in front of a name apparently indicates that they were killed in action. The last page contains some history of the Dowling family. This page was included in the copy I received however it does not appear to fit with the rest of the document. I am not sure if it belongs with it or not. I have no idea what “Dovle” means at the bottom of this page. When reading this, remember that it was written and presented in 1946. I sincerely hope this help you with your search for you family history.
