The Dowlings
At this time, I have not proven that this is the correct family of Dowlings.  However, I believe that it is, because places and ages on the census listings match.  Also, the Dowlings lived near some Farrell families.  The parents' names are taken from Julia Dowling Greenfield's death certificate.
