    Subject: Re: Dowling Family

    Walter:

    I enjoyed speaking with you by phone on the 4th of July, and I appreciate your efforts to maintain the website for the Dowling family lineage.

    The letter that I have typed (and attached) was originally penned by my mother's maternal grandmother, Mrs. W. H. Dowling in 1914. Her husband William H. Dowling was a chaplain during the civil war and a fairly well known Southern Baptist pastor in South Carolina for at least forty years. I value the letter as a rare insight into the tragic events of the post civil war era and the climate of fear, violence and revenge that lingered during that time in much of the South. I would hope that my children would value the letter as well and understand the lessons that are inherent therein.

    All the events recanted in this letter occurred in what is commonly called the 'Low Country' of South Carolina--near Beaufort. Most of the locations mentioned can be identified on a current road map. However, my road maps don't list Sylvan Springs, Cross Hill, and a few others. Note also that in several instances the spelling of a town or river has changed over the years. Also, in some cases the typed letter was not clear and I had to make 'educated guesses' as to how words were originally spelled.

    Incidentally, in reading the 1923 of the obituary of W. H. Dowling one of the surviving daughters was Mrs. W. H. Turner of Atlanta. Would she have been one of your ancestors?

    Again, thank you for your diligence with the 'digitized Dowling dossier.'

    Best regards,

    Art Webb

    Attached was the trascript of a letter from Mrs. Wm Hamilton Dowling dated 16 Sep 1914 regarding times in the south after the civil war.
