Biography

Research Notes

The following information was on this profile before I adopted it. Much of it seems to be a collection of different persons, perhaps conflated. John Wiliam Downs appears to be a different individual, and probably needs a different profile. I have changed the given names to match the parent shown for the children. The dates have been changed to match William B Downs, not John William Downs. I will add correct sources and children. Steffen-1085 03:21, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
