Unknown lady - may be a Brown or Dowell

The lady shown in this photograph probably belongs to the Brown or Dowell Family. This family comes from Robert Brown b Abt. 1834 and died between 1900-1910 (parents unknown). Barbara Dowell b Oct 1840 and died 10 Mar 1930 in Nebraska City Nebraska. Barbara's parents are Elijah Dowell b 31 Mar 1820 in Kentucky and d 25 Jan 1903  Livingston, Missouri. and Mary "Polly" Fulton Haydn b 17 Dec 1823  in Kentucky and d 26 Jan 1917 Chillicothe, MO.  How I came about this picture is through Barbara Dowell and Robert Brown's G Granddaughter Bessie Mcvey Had it with all her Mcvey-Brown letters/pictures etc. Bessie's mother Mary Agnes Brown who married William Oscar Mcvey. Mary was the daughter of Robert Brown and Barbara Dowell.

 Note from submitter:  From my research and letters it seems that the Brown Family (children of Robert and Barbara) only lived in Livingston to the late 1800's and possibly before the 1900 census. Other than what I can prove is it seems the Brown's moved to Nebraska and Lawrence Missouri. The Mcvey's stayed in Shelby Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado.  I have the death mentioned in Chillicothe Newspaper in 1930 of Barbara Dowell whose 2 brothers were still living in Livingston at the time. I have not done much research of Barbara's siblings or parents. So this is where I came up with my conclusion.  ~~ Margie Etheridge.  If you can identify her, please contact Margie Etheridge at the following e-mail address: [email protected]
