I am looking for info for a Philander DOWD and Philander WESTCOAT. I thought a Philander DOWD was the grandfather of my mother but the name I found on a tombstone in MacArthur shows that he died in 1859. The grandmother was not born until 1869 so this would be impossible. I did find another Philander DOWD that served in the Civil War out of LaSalle, IL in the 12th Inf. Co. B that may be the one. But I am beginning to wonder if the info I found may be wrong and the grandfather may have been a Philander Westcoat as the date would have been more correct and that he may have had a son named Philander. Any help on either family may shed some light on the actual ancestor.
