He was too young to enlist but he was 6' 4" and strong so they took him (he lied about his age to sign the papers). He was in the 64th Ohio (I think that's what it was called.). They headed south in the war and guarded bridges. Then he was assigned to escort a young guy with small pox home from the war. They got back to Ohio and it turned out the guy only had chicken pox.

Ivens, their neighbor, (and soon to be the father-in-law of Frank Wood) as surety to protect their interest in their mother's estate.
    The four children retained the 166½ acre Lucy A. Wood farm intact until February 18, 1898, by which time the three boys had long since decided to pursue careers in other states --Frank in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Walter and Carl in Sioux City, Iowa. In the early part of 1898 the Lucy A. Wood Farm was resurveyed for division. Between February 18, 1898 and September 19, 1908, after conveying various small parcels back and forth between them, Carl E. Wood purchased 140 acres (subsequently resurveyed as 147 acres) of his mother's 166½ acre farm, which he and his wife Addie R. Wood sold on October 10, 1910 to W. O.

From A Dowling Family of the South

JOHN JABEZ and Susan Barnes first had a son named JAMES THEOPHILUS. The boy was born April 26, 1814. He did not marry, until he was twenty- seven; wife Mary Ann Long was called a Cain on JOHN VIRGLE'S death certificate (many years later) so there is a possibility that she had been married previously. She had been born to Alonzo and Catherine Long on April 18, 1819, and it is said that Alonzo or his father was massacred by the Indians. Before JAMES THEOPHILUS died July 21, 1882, he and Mary reared their nine children, shown on Chart 323. All of them were born near present day Hampton, South Carolina. Naturally, JAMES was farmer; but in conjunction with his large plantation he operated a cotton gin and gristmill. Widows and the indigent were never charged for the grinding of their corn into meal by Mr. Dowling. In his old age he took much time with his grandchildren, teaching them the art of fishing and the many tricks of proper horseback riding.

From A Dowling Family of the South

JAMES THEOPHILUS' OLDEST CHILD was boy who would later be the beloved pastor of at least thirty-five Baptist congregations throughout South Carolina. Named WILLIAM HAMILTON Dowling, he lived the life of a leader from August 8, 1842, to September 9, 1924.

“HAM”, as he was known, joined the church at the age of sixteen. He attended Pineville Academy near his birthplace; his remarkable intelligence caused neighboring planters in the Bethel Church area to use him as a teacher before his eighteenth birthday . . . Just as he was preparing to enter a Seminary to prepare for the ministry the War Between the States began. HAM was the only Chaplain that the 5th South Carolina Cavalry Regiment ever had.

At one time this Dowling was an aide of General Wade Hampton. As a staff-sergeant there was one time during the battle of Lee’s Mill that his officers were so decimated that HAM had to take charge of the entire Confederate right wing; a short time later, Sheridan's forces overwhelmed the battered Rebels. Young Dowling lost many horses to shellfire. Often- times missiles tore through his clothing; but he was never wounded! One of the battles he was in lasted from Thursday evening to Monday morning, his only rest being a pause for meals of parched corn. General V. R. Brooks described WILLIAM HAMILTON as one of the "bravest of the brave"; Colonel Z. Davis sent him the Cross of Honor.

HAM'S dangers did not end with the war. Daughter MAUD Turner, in her excellent brochure called "To the Dowlings Who Served in America's Wars", tells of events in the carpet-bagging days when WILLIAM HAMILTON had only God between him and mob-death! Once, on his river plantation, he went boldly into a camp of more than a hundred aroused negroes who were there fomenting trouble. They pulled him off of his horse and threatened to kill him, but he talked to them and then preached a sermon hours long . . . and they were never known to cause trouble as a group again.

As proof that God was always with HAM, there was the time, for example, when he had just given his one-year preaching salary of five dollars to a destitute family. Before this young preacher reached home an eloping couple had stopped him to perform a roadside marriage ceremony. When it ended they handed him twice the amount he had just given away!

When Hampton County was created, it was HAM who headed the school system. For twelve years its people elected him Probate Judge. Immediately afterwards, in 1832, he began a thirty-two year span of service on Hampton's Board of Education. Baptists honored him by making him president of their Savannah River Association. He and Clara Louise Ruth, his beloved wife, reared the children shown on Chart 551. (This couple celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary May 19, 1917. Clara had been born to Mary E. Peeples and Colonel Abram M. Ruth on May 13, 1844, in Beaufort District. Her parents had also been born there, at the beginning of the War of 1812. Clara and WILLIAM HAMILTON are buried in the cemetery of the church they married in: Hopewell Baptist. HAM'S wife died December 12, 1923.)5

Ham was preparing to enter a Seminary to prepare for the ministry when the War Between the States began. [He] was the only Chaplain that the 5th South Carolina Cavalry Regiment ever had.

At one time he was an aide of General Wade Hampton. As a staff-sergeant there was one time during the battle of Lee's Mill that his officers were so decimated that Ham had to take charge of the entire Confederate right wing; a short time later, Sheridan's forces overwhelmed the battered Rebels. Young Dowling lost many horses to shellfire. Often-times missiles tore through his clothing; but he was never wounded! One of the battles he was in lasted from Thursday evening to Monday morning, his only rest being a pause for meals of parched corn. General V. R. Brooks described William Hamilton Dowling as one of the "bravest of the brave"; Colonel Z, Davis sent him the Cross of Honor.8 Reverend William Hamilton Dowling was Head of Hampton Co School System.

From Baptist Biography, Volume 1, 1917


Among the early settlers of South Carolina was Robert Dowling of the Darlington district, who was a soldier of the American Revolution. James T. Dowling was his honored descendant and the father of the subject of this sketch.

Rev. W. H. Dowling, of Hampton, South Carolina, was born near the same community, in which he now resides, on the 4th day of August, 1842. In 1858 he made a profession of faith in Christ and was baptized by Rev. John M. Hoover. In July of the next year, 1859, he taught school in the Bethel community of Barnwell County, where he manifested much zeal for the educational social, moral, and religious uplift of the entire community. Mrs. Clara Johnson Hitt, author of the “History of the Barnwell Baptist Association," referring to the years 1860-61, names W. H. Dowling as the only surviving delegate that attended that association in 1860, and the only surviving charter member of the Barnwell Baptist Sunday School Convention, organized in May, 1861.

In November, 1861, Mr. Dowling joined the Confederate army and served under Butler and Hampton until the surrender in 1865.· He participated in twenty-five of the great battles of Virginia and North Carolina, in which he distinguished himself as a brave Confederate soldier and Christian gentleman. General U. R. Brooks, in his history, "Butler and his Cavalry," places Mr. Dowling's photo in the center of a cluster of the bravest of the brave. Mr. Zimmerman Davis, colonel of the Fifth South Carolina Cavalry Regiment, sent him a cross of honor from the Charleston Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and in requesting him to wear it, said: "None deserves it more than you; you were loyal to the banners of the Confederacy, and loyal to the cross of Christ.” Judge Robert Aldrich said of him: "I have seen him upon the battle fields and in the dusty marches of Virginia, and I have never seen him since but always in the path of duty."

Mr. Dowling's piety and Christian character were such that his company and regiment never had any other chaplain. Under his influence a large number of his company was converted and baptized, especially while encamped in North Carolina. Officers and men attended his prayer-meetings and other services, and he was honored, loved, and esteemed by them all. General Butler referred to him tenderly on his dying bed, and General Hampton esteemed him highly.
When the war was over, Mr. Dowling felt that he had been spared for a holy warfare, in which he would not lose the victory. The country had been laid waste by Sherman's army, and the churches were unable to pay pastors living salaries. Somebody had to preach, and Mr. Dowling, with burning zeal for the salvation of souls, and prompted by the Holy Spirit, consecrated himself to the work and was ordained by a presbytery composed of J. M. Hoover, M. B. Boynton, and W. H. Shuman. With him a soul was a soul, and the first year after hit ordination he baptized one hundred and thirteen converts. His first pastorate were at Mt. Pleasant, Steep Bottom, St. John's, Bethel, Allen's Chapel, Canaan, Seven Pines, and Bethesda. In connection with these pastorates he visited many destitute places, sometimes on foot, where he conducted meetings and held the country for the Baptists.

On account of the impoverished condition of the country as a result of the war, ministerial support was very meager. Mr. Dowling, therefore, taught school for a living. He maintained a Bible and catechetical department in every school he taught, and he baptized many of his pupils, and some of them became distinguished in both church and State. In the early seventies he accepted calls and served the churches at Peniel, Doctor's Creek, Smoaks, Antioch and Edisto. At each of these places many souls were saved and baptized.

In 1878 he moved back to his old Hampton County home, and since then has served twenty-seven churches in the Savannah River Association. During this period he has baptized many hundreds of converts. At the present time he is pastor at Black Swamp, Sandy Run. Dry Swamp, and Mill Grove churches, and is the faithful clerk of his association. Mr. Dowling, in connection with his long and faithful ministry, has served his county two terms as Superintendant of Education, and two terms as Probate Judge. In accepting these positions he felt that it would not injure, but rather would be helpful to him in his ministry. These positions put him in touch with the young, and in a sense made him the guardian of the interests of widows and orphans. In both offices Mr. Dowling demonstrated his faithfulness and efficiency as a public official. Later he was a member of the Board of Education of his county for many years, and as president of the Anti-Saloon League he led his county to prohibition victory. Mr. Dowling has not been without honors in his denomination. He was president of the Barnwell Sunday School Convention for four years, and he has served the Savannah River Convention, which he organized in 1878, for more than twenty consecutive rears.

Few if any living ministers have married as many couples, preached as many funerals, written as many obituaries, organized churches, built houses of worship, and baptized as many persona as has Rev. W. H. Dowling. From his youth he has been considered a model in morals. He has never been intoxicated, never used tobacco in any form, never danced a set, never engaged in gambling even to the amount of one cent, and does not know one card from another. As a Baptist he is sound in the faith, and though seventy-four years of age, he still loves to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.

In his young manhood he was united in marriage to Miss Clara Louisa Ruth, a daughter of Hon. A. Y. Ruth, a distinguished citizen of old St. Peter's Parish, of old Beaufort district, South Carolina, a man of the old Carolina type of the ante-bellum days. This union has been fruitful in many ways. His wife has proven a helpmeet to him indeed in all his work. Their home has been blessed with eleven children, three of whom have passed away. The eight surviving children are all members of Baptist churches and occupy positions of honor and trust. W. H., Jr., is sheriff of Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida; D. B. holds a position with the National Exchange Bank, Augusta, Georgia; G. G. is engaged in the insurance and real estate business in Greenwood, South Carolina; J. F. is in the railroad business at Taylors, South Carolina; and Harry is with the United States Army. His daughters are Mrs. W. H. Turner, of Atlanta, Georgia; Mrs. Charles D. West, of Greenville, South Carolina, and Mrs. Edward Crouch, of Alabama, three most excellent Christian women and active workers in Baptist churches. Besides their children, there is a galaxy of bright and promising grandchildren devoted to their venerable grandparents.

Rev. W. H. Dowling is the efficient clerk of the Savannah River Association, a position which he has held for fifteen years. He still does some work for the State Mission Board of South Carolina, and is a contributor to the papers, both secular and religious. Few men who suffered privations in material things and education on account of the ravages of the Civil War have made a nobler record for their country and for their denomination.16

Reverend William Hamilton Dowling was a witness M. J. Thames requested enrollment under the Act of 1919 of SC as the widow of F. W. Thames who served in the Confederate States Army. She was 82 and living with J. F. Thames in Hampton SC. with Mary Jane Clifton on 27 October 1919 at Hampton, South Carolina, USA.17 Reverend William Hamilton Dowling lived on 6 January 1920 at Hampton, Hampton, South Carolina, USA.18

JAMES THEOPHILUS' SECOND CHILD was born January 31, 1845, and lived until June 7, 1899. Her name was SUSAN CATHERINE; she married John Asa Tuten September 12, 1866. Tuten died May 9, 1891; both are buried in the Stafford Cemetery, near Furman, South Carolina. Mr. Tuten had been born in South Carolina on February 22, 1846.

Of their children shown in Addendum 648, one was especially prominent. That was son J. Greene Tuten, a doctor. At the beginning of the century he was the first doctor to prescribe and use a special yellow-fever serum in epidemics raging on the Gulf Coast . . . Working under the direction of Doctor OSCAR Dowling (head of the Louisiana Health Service), young Tuten probably wondered about their kinship. Both were great-great-great-grandsons of our family's founder, ROBERT!2 She lived with James Theophilus Dowling on 26 September 1850 at Prince Williams Parish, Beaufort, South Carolina, USA.4 Susan Catherine Dowling lived with James Theophilus Dowling on 19 September 1860 at Prince William Parish, Beaufort, South Carolina, USA.5
