Cincinnati Daily Commercial 1858-1899 Death Notices, p. 5. show a Rachel Ticer, with a death date of 8 Dec 1875, Age 74, 7 months. In 1824 Augustine Tyser and Lucy Tyser of Hamilton OH were attorneys for Rachel Dowdy and sold 100 acres in Chatham Co to William Dowdy, which was the land conveyed earlier from Rachel's grandfather Thomas Dowdy. It is unknown who Rachel's father was, but her mother was Lucy Dowdy. She may have had an out of wedlock birth or perhaps she married a son of Thomas Dowdy. |
