     Theophilus Barnes was born before 1755. He married Harriet Dorcus Sauls.

     James Dowling R.S. was born in 1756 at Winton, Orangeburg, South Carolina, USA.¹ He married Mary Boutwell, daughter of Burtonhead Boutwell and Saoni unknown, before 1779. James Dowling R.S. died in 1797 at South Carolina, USA.
     James Dowling R.S. was also known as James Dennis Dowling.

In Virginia after the death of little WILLIAM'S mother our ancestor ROBERT had remarried in 1754. He and this second wife, Sarah Guinn, had their first son four years later and agreed that his name should be JAMES.

When he was fifteen, JAMES and the four other children of Sarah's had the thrill of their young lives; they went with their parents to a new home in South Carolina (see DFS Chart 101).

Nothing is known of JAMES'S boyhood days in the Jeffries Creek area before the Revolution began. It is natural to assume, though, that the younger days of JAMES and ROBERT'S two other boys were occupied with many hours of hunting so that the family's meat-bin could be supplied. This made them expert marksmen.

Alexander Gregg tells us in his "History of the Old Cheraws" that JAMES and JOHN "Duling" served in Benton's Regiment that is known to have fought so ferociously against the British under General Francis Marion. After Marion had been defeated at Charleston his state had been almost completely over-run by the Redcoats. It was the mounting resentment of the colonists to government's rule of the people at this time that helped such men as JAMES Dowling leave their farms and begin fighting the King's soldiers.

Marion showed his genius in organizing a band of guerilla volunteers; he gained recruits and trained them to be fearless riders and good marksmen. His Brigade became known far and wide for its successful exploits against the British. His sudden attacks often resulted in the capture of superior numbers and intimidated the Tories. Colonel Banastre Tarleton was sent to capture them but soon despaired of finding "the old Swamp-Fox".

By 1779, with the Great War for liberty in full swing, JAMES married one of the beautiful Welsh daughters of Burtonhead Boutwell. Mary was her name, though some called her Polly (She was of Virginia birth and her mother may have been named Saoni Boutwell.) The nephew of JAMES and Mary, Reverend DEMPSEY Dowling, stated in 1857 that this couple had only three daughters, SALLIE, POLLIE, and LETTIE. But with this country's first census listing five daughters in the 1790 household of JAMES there is a strong possibility that two of them had died young before forty-two year old DEMPSEY left the Salkehatchee area.

On April 28, 1795, for five-hundred pounds sterling, JAMES sold to brother JOHN a tract of land that had originally been a colonial-grant to one William Freeman. JAMES seems to have owned no other land. This property must have been the birthplace of all of his children; its sale was probably one necessitated by illness. Within two years of this transaction wife Mary Boutwell Dowling posted a bond qualifying as the executor of husband JAMES'S estate. Signing with her was a William Boutwell, probably a brother.

After Mr. Dowling's death widow Mary and some of her children moved southward, as WILLIAM had done before the Revolution. In 1810 she was living in Barnwell District near JABEZ and ELIJAH, though she probably died in South Carolina's Beaufort District. And just as the father-to-son method of handing down information failed to bring us information on the burial place of WILLIAM and Rebecca, so has it failed in the case of JAMES and Mary.

Robert Dowling's descendants can be seen in Chart 101.² He witnessed the Milt-Note of an unknown person circa 1779 at South Carolina, USA.² He Two infant daughters died young? They had daughter Lettie, Pollie and Sallie? Not sure who was who.² He On April 28, 1795, for five hundred pounds sterling, JAMES sold to brother JOHN a tract of land that had originally been a colonial-grant to one William Freeman.

From A Dowling Family of the South

The Father of Our Family: ROBERT

On August 1, 1643, a Frampton Dowling arrived in Virginia on board Captain Samuel Matthews' ship. It is not known whether he was the father of a Corporal William Dowling mentioned in Maryland records of 1694 nor whether he was kin to the Robert Dowling referred to in the Augusta County records of Virginia in 1700.

It is known, however, that in Virginia about 1730 a small Dowling was born and given the name of Robert. Had he died without issue, no Dowling-blooded person mentioned in the book would have ever lived. For he was the father of this Dowling family -- a family that has more descendants in the South than any other by the name Dowling.

"When this lad married, no one bothered to write down the wife's name. Everyone knew it . . . then! Yet a century later an elderly grandson, Dempsey Dowling, did remember that she was of Virginia birth and that she had borne on child: his half-uncle William.

Passing on the breath of life in the 1750's was costly. Robert's young wife died in childbirth. Son William, true to his Irish ancestry, would prove to be a thorn in the side of the British, then dominant in America.

After Mrs. Dowling's death, family-founder Robert married a second time (see Chart 101). This marriage was in 1754; bride Sarah Guinn was also a Virginian, a member of the Guinn family who so distinguished themselves in the Revolution. Little did Sarah know that forty-six years later she would be in far-off Darlington District, South Carolina (where as the widow "Dooling" she would have only memories of the "Old Dominion").

By 1773 something caused Robert and his family to leave Virginia. For that is the date in South Carolina that King George II's deputy-surveyor, John Bremar, Esquire, "admeasured and laid out unto Robert Dowling a plantation or tract of land containing 300 acres. It is on Boggy Gully, bounding on all sides on vacant land and hath such shape and marks as the above plat represents."

The preceding document and thousands of others (where duplicates were preserved by the King's men, nearly two centuries ago) may be seen in the War Memorial Building collection at Columbia, South Carolina. Robert's tract was cut through the middle by Boggy Gully branch, a stream that can be seen on present-day Darlington County maps.

It is not known where Robert and Sarah's home stood. Dempsey stated that his grandfather's home was on Jeffries Creek, a larger stream two miles east of Boggy Gully. By 1900 the site of Robert's old log-house or that of one of his son's was faintly visible. Descendant John Marsh and his grandfather Simeon went there from Alabama searching for the place; they probably had the aid of Francis Asbury, Sr. (born twenty-nine years after Robert's death). All they could find was a "hollow-tree" well casing that had once enclosed the primitive well shaft. The home had probably been abandoned after the death of Sarah Guinn Dowling in 1908.

Robert moved to South Carolina five years after the first Methodist church was founded in America. His daughter-in-law is known to have joined a Methodist Church twenty-six years after this. With all Dowling emigrants from Ireland, that the author had knowledge of, being Catholic, he wonders when and how Robert or his forbear was converted. Did Bishop Francis Asbury accomplish the task? If so, the job was well done, for three of the grandsons shown on Chart 101 became Methodist preachers. Apparently, Robert had no use for strong drink; the year after he arrived in South Carolina, court records of the district in which he lived mention his complaint to the Grand Jury of a Joseph Gourly's drunkenness.

Little is known of Robert's three daughters. Mary An Stewart's husband was probably named John; John Stewart was given fifty cents by Simeon Dowling's administrator for the purchase of planks with which to make the latter's coffin. A Noel Stewart bought the Bible of the deceased. All other information on these Dowling girls is given in Robert's will below. The author believes, however, that Sarah married a man by the name of Frederick Lee and resided in the Salkehatchee River area of South Carolina by 1786.

Shortly after the call to arms by America's revolutionists, Robert became a soldier. He chose to fight with the men of his home state; by May of 1777 he was enrolled as a private with Captain William Vause's Company of the 12th Virginia Regiment. Records of the same unit several months later showed his name (Robert Doling!) on the Invalid List with eight and 24/72nds dollars of pay due him. Later he was with the 6th Regiment of the North Carolina Continental Infantry with Captain White's outfit. He fought at Musgrove's Mill, Guilford Courthouse, and in two battles that historians mention as America's mightiest blows for freedom: the Battle of the Cowpens and the Battle of King's Mountain. Pay voucher number 1563 in North Carolina records (Volume 16, page 1042) shows that Robert's pay for eight years of military service was a total of $186!

The contributions made to the independence of our nation by all three of Robert's sons are listed in following chapters. Prior to the death of this first ancestor whose Christian name we know, the author catches a last glimpse of him (on America's first census). He was still a backwoods farmer; he owned no slaves; the four youngsters living with him and Sarah were most likely those of his martyred son William. Nearby were the pioneer families of Saoni Boutwell and John Stokes -- families whose descendants would later marry Robert's offspring. Sons James and John still lived; also, there was over a score of grandchildren . . . Then, there was something else that the Dowlings had never owned . . . never in all the centuries through which their ancestors had flowed. That was the freedom to govern themselves. This father and his three boys showed great wisdom in fighting for it.⁴

A Dowling Family of the South (DFS) shows Robert the father of William with the mother unknown. The basis for this is the following statement; "Yet a century later an elderly grandson, DEMPSEY Dowling, did remember that she [the wife of Robert's father and Williams's mother] was of Virginia birth and that she had borne one child: his half-uncle WILLIAM." DFS does not name Robert's father or any brothers.

The book The ?Dowling Family ?- Their Ancestors and Descendants (TDF) states that David Dowling, Robert Dowling RS and William Dowling RS were brothers and sons of Michael and Mary (unknown) Dowling. (David is mentioned in a request by his mother Mary for land based on Michael's service fighting Indians under Capt. Nelson of SC.)

Based on the estimated birth dates for Wm. and Robt., if Robt. was William's father he would have been 11 when Wm. was born. Assuming the birth dates are reasonable accurate this makes unlikely that William was the son of Robert.

TDF also discusses another Robert Dowling who was born in Augusta Co. VA, a runaway servant who was listed in court documents in that county at the same time that Robert Dowling RS was in South Carolina. Many have gotten these two Roberts mixed up.⁵ He witnessed the Milt-Note of an unknown person in May 1777.⁶ He left a will on 20 March 1794 at Darlington, South Carolina, USA, The will reads: Robert's last testament, here reproduced, is on record in the courthouse at Darlington, South Carolina:

I, Robert Dowling of State of South Carolina, County of Darlington, being very weak of body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be given to God calling into the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die do make and ordain this my last will and testament that is to say princepely and first of all I give and recommend my Soul into the hands of Almighty Good that gave it, and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discrietions of my executors nothing doutting at the General Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty power of God and as touching such wordly estate wherein it hath pleased God to bless me in this life.

I give and bequeath to my eldest daughter five Shillings -- I give to my daughter Mary-An Stewart five Shillings. Also I give to my oldest son James Dowling five Shillings. Also to my son John Dowling one bed and furniture. Also to my daughter Elizabeth Ogelsbee and my daughter Sarah I leave the land I now live upon to be divided between them.

I leave my wife Sarah Dowling and James Dowling (both of the state of South Carolina) for and absolute Executors to them my last will and testament and I do hereby utter my disalow revoke and dessavou all and every other former testament wills segours bequeaths and executors by me in any wise before named willed and bequeathed ratifying and confirming these this and no other to be my last will and testament in witnys where of I have hearunto set my hand and seal this 20 day of March in year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety four."
