Margaret....I'm not sure but I think we have conversed before on this subject. If not contact me..if we have then you are aware of what I know.....I still am interested about the Civil War and family. I happened to see a show today on the television about a union civil war camp and it sparked my mind.... so just for the heck of it I typed in Uriah Dowdy and this post is the very first thing that comes up......I believe you are in Texas? I'm 60 now.....most long term memory is okay...but semi to short term......well..... Pat Dowdy
