Hello,

My name is Donald Allen Downs. I am the youngest child of David Ezra
Downs and Ethelyne Reulle Webb (William, Benjamin, Curtis, Samuel, Ezra,
David Ezra.) I just found your web page on Geneology.com and am
fascinated with all the information you have. I only knew the line as
far back as Samuel, although I suspected Curtis was his father. My
branch of the family relocated to North Carolina, where I was born and
still live, about 50 years ago, but my work takes me to Ohio and Indiana
regularly. I am very interested in the next Downs family reunion. Are
dates and a location established yet?

I may have information to add to your family tree. Unfortunately, it is
disorganized and will take some going through to make sense of. Once
again, I am very excited by finding this site and learning more about my
ancestors.

Your Distant Cousin,
Don Downs
