JAMES McDOWELL.

   James McDowell was born, in North Carolina. He came to Carroll county in
August, 1826. He came here from Vigo county, Indiana, having moved there from
Darke county, Ohio. He had sixteen children, fourteen of whom grew to manhood
and womanhood. His wife gathered nettles, which were very abundant, and worked
the lint into clothing. To raise fourteen children to the age of self-support,
in a country to be made inhabitable, with all the privations incident to a new
country, is a remarkable feat Mr. McDowell died many years ago. His wife and all
the children are dead.
