Would like to exchange information with anyone interested in the following
Dowling familys.

My Uncle provided the following description of the Dowling family when he
wrote from memory our family history:

Eva Morris married a Robert Dowling and settled in the New England area.
Her last known address was in a town called Far Away Rockaway, New York. At
one time they lived in New Rochelle, New York, and believe these cites are
closely situated. They had at least two sons and one daughter. Robert
Dowling, Jr., was a very successful business man and at one time was
president or chairman of the Peabody Company. This company made Arrow shirts
among other things. The second some became a Catholic priest and I believe
his name was Richard. At any rate he was an Army Chaplin and was captured
by the Japanese with the fall of the Philippines in World War II. He
survived the death march of Bataan and I read somewhere of his being cited
for bravery. The daughter was also named Eva. Nothing more is known about
this Eva.

I now know my grandfather (Sydney William) was born 6/2/1897 in Binfield (although record office has it as Easthampstead but these are probably one of the same). His father was I believe a William and I am awaiting clarification on this. I see from the 1881 Census that there was two William's resident in Binfield who might tie in, ie be the father. One being aged 10 the other 17, at the time of census, being sons of John (46) and William (40) who may well be brothers. I await certs. from record office to further investigation.

I was wondering if you had any relating to Dowling's in Binfield Berks. I found a Pat Conroy who seemed to be on the case of these but found her E-mail to be unobtainable. This is what I have discovered at present, I have found that my grandfather Sydney William Dowling (dob 7/2/1897), his father William Clifford Dowling (dob 16/8/1863) and his father William Dowling (dob circa 1841 - I can not trace his birth registration which I understand was not compulsory until around 1860, but aged 40 at 1881 Census (Binfield)) were all born in Binfield. I am awaiting a copy of the 1851 Census to push on but any assistance you may able to give would be most appreciated.

James Dowling married Alice Jerome and raised a large family in the Wokingham area of Berkshire. It is possible that James was from Ireland, but not proven. Many of the descendents have been traced but there are many gaps - perhaps some crossed the Atlantic.

Hi Janet!
There is one branch of our Dowling family that still reside in Reading - but they descended from James Dowling and Alice Jerome(married in 1741)
My great grandfather moved from wokingham to Gomshall, Surrey and raised 11 children there. We also had a mini Dowling reunion in Abinger Hammer, Surrey 3 years ago when I was over visiting with my sister.
We were always told that great grandfather Henry Dowling was from Dun Laoghaire, Ireland so it was somewhat of a surprise to find him born in Wokingham! As was his father and his grandfather!! so much for family stories.....perhaps if we go far enough back the Irish link will be there!
How did you find the Irish link?

Biography
Dowling was born in the townland of Knockballyvishteal, Milltown, County Galway, Ireland in January 1837, the second of eight children, born to tenant farmer Patrick and Bridget Dowling (née Qualter). Following eviction of his family from their home in 1845, the first year of the Great Famine, nine-year-old Dowling left Ireland with his older sister Honora, bound for New Orleans in the United States in 1846. As a teenager, young Dick Dowling displayed his entrepreneurial skills by successfully running the Continental Coffeehouse, a saloon in the fashionable French Quarter. His parents and siblings followed from Ireland in 1851, but the joy of reunion was short-lived. In 1853, a yellow fever outbreak in New Orleans took the lives of his parents and one of his younger brothers. With rising anti-Irish feeling growing in New Orleans, following local elections which saw a landslide victory for the 'Know Nothing' party, Dowling moved to Houston in 1857, where he leased the first of a number of saloons, a two-story building centrally located on the corner of Main and Prairie Streets. He named it the Shades, from the sycamore and cottonwood trees which lined the two streets and shaded the building. Advertised as 'inferior to none in the State' he opened a billiards saloon on the first floor. Dowling was described as a likable red-headed Irishman and wore a large moustache, possibly to make him appear older than he looked, as he was called 'The Kid' by family and friends alike at this time. In 1857 he married Elizabeth Ann Odlum, daughter of Benjamin Digby Odlum, a Kildare-born Irishman, who had fought in the Texas War of Independence, being captured at the Battle of Refugio in 1836. Following Texas Independence, he was elected subsequently to the fledgling Third Congress of the Republic of Texas.

Business and Civic interests
By 1860, Dowling owned a number of saloons. His most successful was named the Bank of Bacchus, located on Courthouse Square in downtown Houston. "The Bank" as it was known locally became Houston's most popular social gathering place in the 1860s and was renowned for its hospitality. Dowling's previous experience as a barkeeper in New Orleans stood him in good stead. Quickly establishing himself, Dowling courted publicity from local newspapers and also made a number of property investments. He was also involved in setting up Houston's first gaslight company, and was first to have it installed in his home and "The Bank". Dowling was a founding member of Houston's Hook and Ladder Company Number One fire department and was also involved in running the city's first streetcar company.

Civil War
Prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Dowling had made a name for himself as an able and successful entrepreneur. Among other things, he had been involved with a predominantly Irish militia company which served a more social than military role in Houston society. On Secession, this militia company was mustered straight into the Confederate Army, with Dowling himself being elected First Lieutenant. Composed primarily of Houston Irish, many of them clients from his saloons, this unit named themselves the "Jefferson Davis Guards" in honor of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who had been in Texas as a young officer in the pre-war Union Army and was remembered for his prowess and leadership skills. The Davis Guards were initially part of a Texas State Troops/Confederate expedition sent to take over Union Army forts and arsenals along the border with Mexico; the expedition was successfully completed without a shot being fired. They participated in the Battle of Galveston on New Year's Day 1863, following which they were assigned to a newly constructed artillery post near the mouth of Sabine River called "Fort Sabine" (later named "Fort Griffin", not the same as the later Fort Griffin established west of Fort Worth).

Sabine Pass was important as a point of arrival and departure for blockade runners. With the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863, followed by the Battle of Gettysburg, it was obvious that the Civil War was now not going well for the Confederacy, an invasion of Texas appeared to be imminent. It was suspected that the Union Army would attempt an invasion of Texas via Sabine Pass, because of its value as a harbor for blockade runners and because about 18 miles northwest was Beaumont, on the railroad between Houston and the eastern part of the Confederacy.

To negotiate Sabine Pass all vessels except small boats took one of the two river channels, both of about 5 feet (1.5 meters) depth and one on each side of the Pass. These channels were separated by naturally formed "oyster-banks" known to be barely two feet (0.60 meter) under the surface. No seagoing ship could traverse the Pass without great risk of going aground, if it did not follow one of the channels. The inevitable course of any steam-powered warship-including shallow-draft gunboats then common to the U.S. Navy-would necessarily use one of the channels, both of which were within fair range of the fort's six smoothbores.

Dowling spent the summer of 1863 at the earthen fort instructing his men in gunnery. To mark the optimum distance and elevation for each of the guns, he implemented the technique of setting long slender poles (painted white, in this instance) in both channels at several places. This was an old method for guiding boats and, especially since the advent of firearms, to mark an aiming points for guns.

On September 8, 1863 a Union Navy flotilla of some 22 gunboats and transports with 5,000 men accompanied by cavalry and artillery arrived off the mouth of Sabine Pass. The plan of invasion was sound, but monumentally mismanaged. Four of the flanking gunboats were to steam up the pass at speed and draw the fire of the fort, two in each channel, a tactic which had been used successfully in subduing the defensive fortifications of Mobile and New Orleans prior to this, when gunboats disabled the forts at close range with their own guns. This time, though, Dowling's artillery drills paid off as the Confederates poured a rapid and withering fire onto the incoming gunboats, scoring several direct hits, disabling and capturing two, while the others retreated in disarray. The rest of the flotilla retreated from the mouth of the pass and returned ignominiously to New Orleans, leaving the disabled ships with no option but to surrender to Dowling. With a command of just 47 men, Lieut. Dowling had thwarted an attempted invasion of Texas, in the process capturing two gunboats, some 350 prisoners and a large quantity of supplies and munitions.

The Confederate government offered its gratitude and admiration to Dowling, now promoted to Major, and his unit, as a result of their battlefield prowess. In gratitude, the ladies of Houston presented the unit with specially struck medals. The medals were actually Mexican eight reale coins with both faces sanded down and with new information carved into them. They were inscribed "Sabine Pass, 1864" on one side, and had a Maltese Cross with the letters D and G on the other. Because of the official recognition given to the action, it is now accepted that these Davis Guard Medals are the only medals of honor issued by the Confederate government, and consequently are collector's items today.

After the war and death

After the battle of Sabine Pass Dowling was elevated to hero status in his hometown of Houston. He subsequently served as a recruiter for the Confederacy and was personally commended for his action at the battle by Jefferson Davis. After the war Dowling returned to his saloon business in Houston and quickly became one of the city's leading businessmen. Dowling's promising future was cut short by another yellow fever epidemic which devastated Houston in the late summer of 1867, and he died on September 23, 1867. He was buried at St. Vincent's Catholic Cemetery, the oldest Catholic cemetery in Houston.

Memorials and monuments
In 1905, by public demand, the city of Houston commissioned a statue of Dick Dowling, and it stood outside City Hall until 1939 when it was moved to Sam Houston Park. When the city hall was moved to a newer building in 1958 the statue was relocated to Hermann Park, near the monument to Sam Houston, where it remains today. Dowling's statue has appeared numerous times in local newspapers as his sword was repeatedly stolen by pranksters. On the night of August 19, 2017 a man was caught by a security guard attempting to blow up Dowling's statue, stating that he "didn't like that guy." In 1997, the Dick Dowling Society completed restoration on Dowling's statue. Annually, usually on the Saturday closest to St. Patrick's Day, the Dick Dowling Irish Heritage Society holds a commemoration ceremony at the statue. This event is regularly attended by a number of the descendants of Dick's sisters. Dick and Elizabeth had two children that survived to adulthood, Mary Anne Dowling and Felix "Richard" Sabine Dowling.

In Houston, Dowling's legacy is remembered in the naming of Dowling Middle School, a middle school that serves the city's predominantly African-American and Hispanic south side. Dowling Street, a major artery of the city's predominantly African-American Third Ward, had also been named after him. However, on January 11, 2017, Houston City Council approved a plan to rename Dowling Street to Emancipation Avenue.(12) Tuam Street, another major artery named for Tuam, is also named in Dowling's honor by recognizing his place of birth in Ireland. There are similarly named streets in towns and cities across east Texas, notably Port Arthur and Beaumont, as well as memorials to Dowling and the Davis Guards, not least at Sabine Pass, where the battleground is now preserved as a State park where the battle is re-enacted every September.

In 1998, the town of Tuam also placed a bronze memorial plaque of Dowling on its Town Hall facade bearing his image and explaining his feats. This is the first known memorial to an Irish-born Confederate soldier in Ireland.

In August 2017 the Tuam Municipal Council scheduled a hearing for September 11 to debate the removal of the plaque. It was reported on the CNN website that local citizens had questioned the appropriateness of having a Confederate memorial on the town hall. In September 2017 Tuam Town Councillors rejected the proposal to remove the plaque. One councillor stated that "We all felt that it was not a top priority for the town. There are more important things going on."

'The Civil War, Strange and Fascinating Facts' by Burke Davis:- "Capt. Richard W. Dowling, age 19 of the Davis Guards, with 43 men armed with rifles and six small cannon, defended Sabine Pass, Texas in Sept. 1863. They drove off a Federal Fleet of some 1,500 men which tried to land. He and his men sank one gunboat, disabled and captured two others, and turned away the rest of the fleet. He took four hundred prisoners, without the loss of a single man. This was the only command of record in the war to get it's entire muster roll into official reports. All the men serving with him recieved silver medals from Jefferson Davis, the only such reward given by the Confederacy."

"DOWLING, RICHARD WILLIAM." The Handbook of Texas Online. (Accessed Tue Oct 24 15:46:36 US/Central 2000 ).

DOWLING, RICHARD WILLIAM (1838-1867). Richard William Dowling, businessman and Civil War hero, son of William and Mary Dowling, was born in Tuam, Galway County, Ireland, in 1838. After 1846 the family migrated to the United States and settled in New Orleans. In the early 1850s, after the deaths of his parents, Dick Dowling worked his way to Texas and eventually settled in Houston.

The likeable, red-headed Irishman quickly made a reputation as an enterprising businessman. In October 1857 he opened the Shades, the first of his successful saloons. He probably received financial backing for this enterprise from Benjamin Digby Odlum,qv whose daughter, Elizabeth Ann, Dowling married in November 1857. By 1860 he had sold his interest in the Shades and had purchased the popular Bank of Bacchus near the Harris County Courthouse. Still later he operated the Hudgpeth Bathing Saloon as well as a Galveston-based liquor-importing firm.

With the outbreak of the Civil Warqv Dowling joined the Jefferson Davisqv Guards as first Lieutenant. Capt. Frederick H. Odlum was commander. During the first part of 1861 Dowling and his associates raided United States Army outposts on the Texas-Mexico border. When the guards were designated Company F of the Third Texas Artillery Battalion in October 1861, Dowling's theater became the upper Texas Gulf Coast. By 1862 the battalion was upgraded to a full regiment, the First Texas Heavy Artillery, under the overall command of Col. J. J. Cook.

Dowling's early Civil War exploits were consistent but not spectacular. On January 1, 1863, he participated in Gen. John B. Magruder'sqv recapture of the port of Galveston (see GALVESTON, BATTLE OF). Three weeks later, after the transfer of his company to Sabine Pass, which controlled access to the Sabine River, he earned his first individual praise. As artillery commander aboard the steamer Josiah A. Bell, he took part in a naval battle on January 21, 1863, with two United States vessels. In a two-hour engagement the Confederate forces achieved a victory, in part because of Dowling's accuracy with the eight-inch Columbiad gun, which he commanded. Not only was he singled out for making some of the "prettiest shots" but also for saving the Bell's magazine from flooding.

Throughout the spring and summer of 1863 Odlum, Dowling, and the guards manned defensive positions at Sabine Pass, including Fort Griffin, a nondescript post on the west side of the pass that controlled both the Texas and Louisiana channels of the river. By August 1863 Odlum was in charge of forces at nearby Sabine City, and Dowling commanded Company F, which consisted of forty-seven men armed with six cannons, at Fort Griffin. On September 8, 1863, the United States forces attacked the area in what became known as the battle of Sabine Pass.qv Dowling directed such intense and accurate fire from his guns that two of the United States gunboats, the Clifton and the Sachem,qqv were disabled, and the remaining United States vessels withdrew. As a result of federal ineptitude and Dowling's leadership, Dowling and his men captured two ships and 350 prisoners and routed the invasion without a single casualty.

The battle at Sabine Pass was the pinnacle of Dowling's career. During the remainder of the war he was a recruiting officer for the Confederacy, until his discharge with the rank of major in 1865. He returned to Houston, managed the businesses he had owned before the war, and acquired new businesses, including real estate, oil and gas leases, and an interest in a steamboat. His financial successes appeared to ensure a bright future, but he became ill with yellow fever and died on September 23, 1867. He was survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son and was buried in St. Vincent's Cemetery, Houston.

Dick Dowling statue removed from Hermann Park ahead of Juneteenth celebrations
HOUSTON - The statue of a Confederate commander that has stood in Houston for more than a century was removed from it’s place in Hermann Park on Wednesday afternoon.
The monument to Robert “Dick” Dowling was erected in 1905 and is located at the Cambridge Street entrance to the park. It was the first publicly funded monument in the city.

Dowling gained notoriety for his role in recapturing Galveston and defeating a Union invasion force during the Battle of Sabine Pass in 1863. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said he wants to relocate the Dowling statue to the Sabine Pass Battleground State Historic Site in Port Arthur, Texas. That plan was placed in limbo, however, after the Texas Historical Commission delayed Friday’s vote on accepting the statue at the site.
A statue called the “Spirit of the Confederacy” was removed from Sam Houston Park late Tuesday night.
Turner has said that statue will eventually be moved to the Houston Museum of African-American Culture, where it will be viewed as a historical artifact and seen in the appropriate context. Not everyone is happy with that plan, though.
Turner has said both statues will go into storage until a better place can be found to display them in the appropriate context.

Turner pledged to remove both statues before June 19, which is also known as Juneteenth. It marks the date in 1865 when word of the Emancipation Proclamation was received in Galveston.
Several people gathered Wednesday to watch as the statue was taken down. Many of them saying it’s a part of history they’d rather not see so prominently displayed.
“I’m just observing a dark part of our history being removed from the city of Houston,” said Derek Blaylock.
“I just think it does reflect our current morality, people just rejecting racism,” said Houston resident Donald Hayes. “These were put up as insults to black people.”
“What’s happening now is probably the right thing for it,” said Houston historian Mister McKinney. “It is a part of Houston history, but like I said he was put up for a reason and for that reason alone and should be taken down.”

Dick Dowling At Sabine Pass; A Texas Incident In The War Between The States. By Frank X. Tolbert. Copyright 1962, second printing. HB DJ 159 pages. "On September 8, 1863, a handful of Confederate artillerymen, most of them Houston and Galveston Dock workers of Irish birth, turned back an armada of 21 Union warships at the Sabine Pass in Texas. The battle is sometimes referred to as the Thermopylae of the Civil War, and in this incredible but completely authentic account of the Union defeat, Frank X. Tolbert re-creates all the gallantry and blazing action of a victory which Jefferson Davis himself described as without parallel in ancient or modern warfare"

Greetings! I am tracing my tree and so I have found you. I am a descendant of Josephine Dowling, younger sister of Richard "Dick" Dowling. Dick was a Lieutenant in the Texas Army during the American Civil War and won fame and honor at the Battle of Sabine Pass. There is a statue in his honour here in Houston. I am seeking information prior to he and his sister. My own modest FTM efforts (I just got started) are at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/m/i/Bill-W-Smith-jr/index.html.

Well, I got quite a bit downstream from them from my mother. For Josephine's 16th birthday Dick gave her a cut glass nicknack holder in the shape of a top hat. It has been handed down through the female line since.
My mother has it and will eventually give it to my "little" brother's daughter, Ashley Catriona, unless one of my boys has a girl while mom is still with us. The hat has in it a newspaper clipping about the Dick Dowling statue and an index card with the names of the women who have owned it. If you go to my page and pull up my InterneTree, walk from my mother back to her father and then his mother.
This coming weekend I will be getting a whole bunch of documents from my mother that she got from the Dick Dowling Society here in Houston. I will gladly send you a .GED or .fbc file when I have added it all to my tree.

I came across this passage some time ago in a book titled 'The Civil War, Strange and Fascinating Facts' by Burke Davis. Hope this is of use to someone.
Capt. Richard W. Dowling, age 19 of the Davis Guards, with 43 men armed with rifles and six small cannon, defended Sabine Pass, Texas in Sept. 1863. They drove off a Federal Fleet of some 1,500 men which tried to land. He and his men sank one gunboat, disabled and captured two others, and turned away the rest of the fleet. He took four hundred prisoners, without the loss of a single man. This was the only command of record in the war to get it's entire muster roll into official reports. All the men serving with him recieved silver medals from Jefferson Davis, the only such reward given by the Confederacy. Although I am not directly descended from this gentleman, I would like to hear from anyone who is. Thanx, Dana.

Levi H. Dowling (May 18, 1844 - August 13, 1911) was an American preacher. He was born in Bellville, Ohio. His father, of Scots and Welsh descent, was a pioneer preacher among the Disciples of Christ. At the age of thirteen, in his first public debate, he took the negative side against a Presbyterian Elder on "The Everlasting Punishment of the Wicked."

Levi began preaching at the age of sixteen; and at the age of eighteen was pastor of a small church. He entered the United States Army at the age of twenty, as a chaplain, and served in this capacity to the end of the Civil War.

Levi H. Dowling was born in a log cabin in Bellville, Richland County, Ohio, on the morning of May 18, 1844, the son of William Dowling and Rachel (Biggs) Dowling. Levi’sfamily and friends often called him “Lee,” and he generally referred to himself that way. His father was an enthusiastic early minister of the Church of Christ, the movement founded by Alexander Campbell that was meant to be a restitution of the original, ancient Christian church before it was fragmented into sects. William Dowling was an eager minister of that vision. He ministered to congregations of the Church of Christ in Mansfield (a few miles north of Bellville), in Ashland, and in West Point, Ohio.

During Levi’s early years, his family lived in Mt. Gilead, and then near the town of Kendallville, Indiana. The 1860 Federal Census shows young Levi, age fourteen, living on a farm with his parents and some of his sisters. Living on adjacent farms were Levi’s older brothers William Worth Dowling and John Biggers Dowling, who were already married and were raising families. Levi attended school in Kendallville, where his older brother William taught for two years.

At the age of eighteen, Levi briefly became pastor of a small church. In a ceremony presided over by evangelist and preacher William T. Horner, Levi married a neighbor, Sylvia Ann Demmon, in the town of Allen, just south of Kendallville, on November 12, 1863. She had been born March 16, 1844, one of her parents’ nine children. Her father was Leonard Demmon; her mother was Nancy (Boughey) Demmon. Levi and Sylvia soon had a baby, named Frankie.

Toward the end of the Civil War, children still living in Kendallville, young Levi “assisted in recruiting a company of volunteers,” and enlisted in Company S of the 152nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment. He was mustered in on March 16, 1865. His brother William wrote that, “Like the sons of most pioneer preachers of that day, he expected to devote his life to the ministry, and had ‘exercised’ his gifts’ on numerous occasions. As a consequence of his ability as a speaker soon after reaching the field, he was appointed a chaplain, and was perhaps one of the youngest men who ever held such a position.” His Chaplain’s commission was that of Captain. Levi H. Dowling.

The Regiment left Indiana for Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia,where it was assigned garrison duty, and was posted in Clarksburg, West Virginia for the few months until the end of the War. The Regiment lost no personnel from combat, but forty-nine by disease-a smallpox epidemic had spread through the region. A few days before Levi was mustered out, his wife Sylvia brought their young infant, son Frankie, to visit him in Clarksburg. “Both took sick,” Levi later wrote.

The child died on August 27th, and Sylvia died on the day he was mustered out, August 30, 1865. Levi took both bodies home with him. He buried them in Kendallville.

Later that year he went to Indianapolis and there enrolled as a student at Northwestern Christian University (now Butler University) during the academic year of 1866-67. During this time, his brother, William, also a Church of Christ preacher, was teaching at the University and was actively building up the Second Christian Church in Indianapolis, a mission of the First Church to African-Americans in the city. William was also helping preach at the Fourth Christian Church there, in its mission Sabbath School. Levi began helping him publish Sunday School literature, lesson plans and songbooks, and a children’s religious newspaper.
Levi and William together published a weekly newspaper, The Morning Watch, issued in Indianapolis, beginning in 1867, “for the Sunday School, Family and Church.” Levi also published a hymn collection, The Palm of Victory, especially for Sunday Schools. William would continue to publish such material for the next three decades.-
The next year he began publishing Sunday School literature, issuing Sunday School Lesson Papers, Song Books, and a Children's Sunday School Paper. Dowling preached President Lincoln's funeral service to Union troops in Illinois. He was the author of two spiritual healing books Self-Culture and Biopneuma: The Science of the Great Breath. The Publisher's Introduction to Biopneuma says that Levi taught chemistry, toxicology, physiology, histology, and lectured on the use of electricity in medicine.

In order to conduct the religious publishing business, Levi moved from Indianapolis in 1868, to Chicago, where he lived until 1871, then briefly to Bloomington, Indiana, and then on to St. Louis, where his brother headquartered their business. Also, on June 16, 1868, while living in Chicago, Levi married again, to Kate S. Mayo, in that city. William wrote of Levi that during this time he traveled extensively organizing schools, introducing the then new International Lesson system; holding institutes and conventions; forming teacher classes and, in fact, “blazing the way” and formulating the plans which Sunday-school evangelists have been largely following ever since.
Levi and his brother made a business of setting up Sunday
Schools, by preaching at a church and encouraging the establishment there of a Sunday School for adults and for children. They then trained the teachers, demonstrated model classes for different aged pupils, and provided standardized lesson plans, hymnals, and teaching materials.
William and Levi also published a series of children’s Sunday School newspapers from Indianapolis and Chicago.
Much of his time was devoted to the cause of Prohibition. He was a graduate of two medical colleges, and practiced medicine for a number of years. He finally retired from the medical profession to resume literary work.

Even as a child, he was impressed with the sensitiveness of the finer ethers, and believed that in some manner they were sensitized plates on which sounds, even thoughts, were recorded. With avidity he entered into the deeper studies of etheric vibration, determined to solve the great mysteries of the heavens for himself. Forty years he spent in study and silent meditation, and allegedly eventually he found himself in that stage of spiritual consciousness that permitted him to enter the domain of these superfine ethers, and become familiar with their mysteries. During the meditation, it was claimed that he was able to repeat events, as many times as necessary, in order to provide us with a perfect transcript. He spent many months transcribing the events he supposedly witnessed - in “The Book of God’s Remembrance” also known as The Akashic Records. His transcription is commonly known as “The Aquarian Gospel.” He allegedly learned that the imaginings of his boyhood days were founded upon veritable facts, and that every thought of every living thing is there recorded. He claimed that as a boy, he also had a vision in which he was told that he was to "build a white city." and this vision was repeated three times with years intervening. The building of the "white city" was The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

Dowling wrote The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ (full title: The Aquarian Age Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Piscean Age) in the late 19th century and published it in 1908. He claimed it was the true story of the life of Jesus, including “the ‘lost’ eighteen years silent in the New Testament.” Dowling claimed to have transcribed it from the Akashic Records. He transcribed the book in the early morning hours from two to six - the absolutely "quiet hours".

The Aquarian Age denotes the human race as standing on the cusp of the Piscean-Aquarian Ages. Aquarius is an air sign and the New Age is already noted for remarkable inventions for the use of air, electricity, magnetism, etc. Men navigate the air as fish do the sea, and send their thoughts spinning around the world with the speed of lightning. The word Aquarius is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water. Aquarius is, however, the water bearer, and the symbol of the sign, which is the, eleventh sign of the Zodiac, is a man carrying in his right hand a pitcher of water.

Legacy

The Aquarian Christine Church Universal, Inc. (ACCU) is a denomination founded on the teachings found in The Aquarian Gospel and other writings by Levi H. Dowling. These include Self-culture and Biopneuma: The Science of the Holy Breath. The church also incorporates other New Age teachings. It is similar to the "I AM Movement" and the Ascended Master Teachings.

Through exhaustive archival research, ACCU founder, Rev. Dr. J. L. Watson discovered that in a letter to Levi Dowling's brother-in-law, Isaac Newton Demmon (1842-1920), he relates his being appointed divisional chaplain and topographical engineer serving on Thomas Wilberforce Egan's staff in the 3rd Provisional Division and him giving a eulogy to Union troops in Illinois at a memorial service in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. No prior biographer of Levi Dowling had ever mentioned this fact.

In a biographical sketch included in the original publication of "Self-culture," Levi is said to have taught and lectured medical students in the use of electricity in medicine, and thus had an early influence on modern medicine. The Aquarian Christian Church considers Dowling an Ascended Master.

The book The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus The Christ by Levi is considered a visionary text professing to tell the complete story of Jesus' life, including the "lost" years, during which he traveled and studied in Tibet, Egypt, India, Persia, and Greece. First published in 1908, this mystical work is the cornerstone of a Christian denomination and offers intriguing, controversial assertions about Christ's message.

Levi H. Dowing died August 13, 1911 in Los Angeles, California.

Thomas Wilberforce Egan (1836-February 24, 1887) was a Union Army officer who led the Mozart Regiment during most of the American Civil War, later becoming a general.

Early life

Egan was born in New York City of Irish immigrant parents in 1836. Little is known about his life before the Civil War. He is believed to have married an Actor and fathered a child who died young.

Military career

Egan joined the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, called the Mozart Regiment, in April 1861 at the beginning of the Civil War, as a private. (The regiment was sponsored by the Democratic Party's Mozart Hall Committee.) Egan was made Lieutenant colonel on June 14, 1861.
Lieutenant Colonel Egan participated in most of the major battles of the Army of the Potomac. Initially, the Mozart Regiment served in first division III Corps. Col. Egan is reported to have arrested the colonel of the regiment for misconduct at the Battle of Fair Oaks in May 1862. In June 1862, Egan was promoted to the rank of colonel. He led the regiment at the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Chantilly and the Battle of Chancellorsville. At Chancellorsville, Colonel Egan became acting commander of first brigade first division III Corps, when Brigadier General Charles K. Graham was assigned to command of the third division following the death of Major General Amiel W. Whipple. At the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, Colonel Egan, once more leading his regiment, was wounded in action near Devil's Den, being hit in a leg; and the regiment’s monument stands near that site. The Mozart Regiment lost 150 of 431 troops engaged. Egan also led the Mozart Regiment in the Mine Run Campaign during the autumn of 1863.

Just before Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign of 1864, III Corps was dissolved. First division became third division II Corps. Egan led his regiment in the Battle of the Wilderness. He became commander of a brigade during the Battle of Spotsylvania, after Brigadier General J. H. Hobart Ward was relieved for drunkenness on the night of May 12, 1864. His command was involved in a counterattack against the Confederates during the fighting at Harris Farm. Egan led the brigade at the Battle of North Anna, attacking Henagan's Redoubt. He also led it at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Egan was wounded during the Second Battle of Petersburg in June 1864, suffering slight paralysis as a result.

Colonel Egan received his commission as brigadier general on September 3, 1864. (Secretary of War Edwin Stanton personally handed him his commission.) At the Battle of Boydton Plank Road on October 27, he commanded the second division II Corps in place of Brigadier General John Gibbon. Egan was seriously wounded on November 14, 1864. The wound disabled his right arm. On recovering, he was given a division in the Army of the Shenandoah on the request of Major General Winfield Scott Hancock. On December 12, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln nominated Egan for appointment to the brevet grade of major general of volunteers to rank from October 27, 1864 for his service at the Battle of Boydton Plank Road, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination on February 14, 1865.

Later life
General Egan was mustered out of the service, January 15, 1866, and subsequently lived in New York City. He served as deputy collector of customs for the port of New York. He also belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic. Brigadier General Egan died in New York City on February 24, 1887. According to the New York Times, General Egan was struck down by epilepsy while staying at the International Hotel in New York City. He was taken to the Chambers Street Hospital, a charity hospital, where he died.

Facts - Non-Chronological
Reference Number
In the Dowling One-Name Study David Dowling has the reference number 1099.

"David DOWLING, 1836, BRK, Eng; Posted by Alison Rosser on January 10, 1999 at 13:20:29: E-mail: rrosser@onlink.net; I have lost David DOWLING born 1836 in Wokingham,Berks., England (parents David and Sarah), Last seen in 1851 census, living in Wokingham, Berks with his family. Anyone seen him? "
-
Fastener Summary for merging of 'Canada' David Dowling (51863) and 'Berkshire' David Dowling (1099):-
1. Both have same first name, not much but David is not a common name with Dowling;
2. Both show similar and occasionaly identical years of birth with a preference for 1836;
3. Both are born in "England", most immigrants are Irish born, although there is no indication of a Wokingham, Berkshire birth for Canada David;
4. Berkshire David disappears from England after the UK 1851 census, Canada David is not evident until the Canada 1861 census;
5. Both show occupations of labourer;
6. Both show protestant religions although Canada David shows Methodist;
7. Canada David names his children Charles, Mary, William, Sarah and Effie. The names Mary, William and Sarah appear in Berkshire David's close family;

A. 'London' David (45728) also disappears after 1851 but reappears there..
B. 'Ontario' David (6592) is shown born in Ontario so, is eliminated.
C. 'Hampshire' David (23050) is found in England in 1851 and 1861, so is eliminated.

The current position is to show the two merged at ID 1099 despite the above all being exceptionally thin, but largely based on there being no other likely candidates. This hypothesis still requires corroboration that the David born in Wokingham, Berkshire is the same David who immigrated to Canada.
