Janet and Michael Downing Family Home Page

Janet is researching the following families: OKEY, CARMICHAEL, HALL,CAMPBELL,CROW,BOSIER/BOZARTH and EVANS.These families were pioneers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and West Virginia . Several of the men in these pioneering families fought in the American Revolution. The OKEY family shows up in the mid 1680's in Maryland and later moved to Ohio and many locations West. The CARMICHAELs, HALLs, and CAMPBELLs all married members of the OKEY family. The BOSIERs were Huguenot immigrants and moved West quickly to Ohio and Iowa.
Mike is researching the DOWNING, MATHISON, PROCTOR, HARRIS, UNDERWOOD and EASTMAN families. The DOWNING family came from New Hampshire and was a seafaring family. John UNDERWOOD moved from Pennsylvania to California in a covered wagon in 1862.The CARMICHAEL report contains 6 generations and the OKEY report contains 8. I have more info if you are interested.
THERE IS AN ERROR IN MY INFORMATION THAT I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO CORRECT TO NO AVAIL. The information regarding the marriage of Mary Hupp (b 1812) to John Carmichael, Jr.,(b 1779) is incorrect. She married his son, John Carmichael b 1813.
