The
Thomas Downs Family in England
Recent
discoveries have lead me back to the family of Thomas Downs in Chelsea,
Middlesex, England. As I uncover more, I will be sharing it here. I will
also be covering new information of Anna's family in Bonmahon, Ireland.
Another
Downs Family on Cape Cod before 1800?
Yes there was another Downs family on the Cape. I will explore
this family in some detail and show that there were even Downses in and
around Eastham and Orleans.
Isaac
Snow, Revolutionary War Patriot
Isaac
Snow was the great great grandfather of Helen (Hopkins) Downs. He served
in the army and navy during the Revolution, and he lead local militia
during the War of 1812. He has even been credited with giving the South
Parish of Eastham, it's current name, Orleans.
The
Royal Ancestry of Helen (Hopkins) Downs; Truth or Boondoggle

has several ancestors that are purported to be of royal descent. See which
cases for royal ancestry fall apart upon close examination, and which
ones are possibly true.
