Page 90
ROBERT McELDOWNEY, SR.

Robert McEldowney was born in Ireland and emigrated with his brother
(John) to this country about the year of 1782, and settled on the
land about one and a half miles north of the town of New
Martinsville, and now owned by Mr. B. F. Bridgeman, in the year of
1804, having lived for a while at Buckhill Bottom, Ohio. His brother
settled in Maryland, where his descendants still live. Mr. McEldowney
died in a carriage. He was very feeble at the presidential election
of 1844, and desiring to vote for James K. Polk, a carriage was sent
after him, and after getting in the carriage he suddenly died and was
buried in Williams' Cemetery, where his wife, Hannah Vandaver
McEldowney was buried.
