Notes for ROBERT DOWLING:
Our earlier local historians first found the Robert Dowling family in Virginia. Although some said that he was an Irish immigrant, most of those closely associated with the family are confidant that the Dowling family were of Scottish extraction.
Research into the family of Robert Dowling indicates that he had two wives, the first of whom (name unknown) bore one son....William Dowling, in Virginia. After the death of his first wife, Robert next married Sarah Guinn, some of whose family distinguished themselves in the Revolutionary War.
