Notes:

According to the 1880 census report, John was crippled. His parents came from Ireland.

Somewhere in my research, I found his middle name of Holden, I'm sad to say that I failed to document the source of that information and am still looking for it.

Birth:
According to Eric Hunley's research on http://erichunley.com/family/gedmoreinfo.cfm?IndID=269 William Holden McDowell was born in Ireland on 9 Oct 1824 and "CAME TO U.S. FROM IRELAND BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR (1850-1855)."

According to the 1870 and 1880 census for Noble, Illinois, he was born in Tennessee, possibly Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee.

Warren E. McDowell's death certificate shows John was born in Tennessee.
