Abstract | The collection contains two handwritten copies and a typed transcription of a letter dated 17 June 1880 from G.W. Michal to William S. Pearson. Based on information gathered from longtime residents of Burke County, N.C., the letter describes and differentiates between Joseph McDowell (1756-1801) and Joseph McDowell (1758-1799), both of whom were Revolutionary War officers and United States congressman. Both men also died in Burke County, N.C. |
