I stumbled upon this line, when looking at the lineage of Mel Tillis. I believe that several of his lines came from the same area as my father's lines; Marlboro/Marion/Dillon/Edgefield Counties of South Carolina and just over the border in North Carolina. All of the early settlers came from one of three ways; up the river from Charleston or just North of, the Cape Fear area, Jamestown or Roanoke Colonies, or from settlements in PA, DE, NJ or MA (usually Welsh/Scottish/Irish or Quakers). The Dowdy name can be found as Douty or Doughty. Hope this helps.
