Author: Historic Families of Kentucky by Thomas Marshall Green,

Samuel, the colonel's oldest son [James McDowell], who was sergeant in Captain 
Trotter's company, and shot the Indian at Mississinewa, married Polly Chrisman, 
of Jessamine.  She was the daughter of Joseph Chrisman, Sr., of Jessamine 
county, whose mother was a sister of Colonel Joe and General Charles McDowell, 
of North Carolina, and who was himself a brother of Hugh Chrisman, whose 
daughter, Betsy, married Major John McDowell's son, Samuel.  William McDowell, 
son of Samuel and Polly Chrisman, is a farmer in Jessamine.  One of the 
daughters of Samuel McDowell and Polly Chrisman, Sarah, married William Steele, 
and was the mother of John Steele, a substantial farmer of Jessamine, and of 
William L. Steele, a successful merchant of Nicholasville, where his good sense 
and high moral character have won for him respect, esteem, and confidence, and 
who is recognized as possessing the cool, deliberate courage which have been 
for centuries the McDowell characteristic.
