ABRAM IRVINE [McDOWELL], second son of Samuel McDowell [of Mercer 
county], and Anna Irvine, was born April 24, 1793.  A soldier in the War 
of 1812, he fought at Mississinewa.  Going to Columbus, Ohio, he was, 
for many years, clerk of the supreme court of common pleas, and of the 
court in bank, and was, at one time, mayor of Columbus - an urbane man 
much beloved and respected.  His wife was Eliza Selden, daughter of 
Colonel Lord, whom he married in 1817.  General Irvine McDowell, of the 
United States army, who attained the highest military rank of any of the 
name, was his oldest son; Colonel John McDowell, a good soldier in the 
Union army, now living in Keokuk, Iowa, was another son; and Malcolm 
McDowell, also an officer in the Union army, a third son; while his 
daughter, Elize, married Major Bridgeman, of the regular army.
