Notes for James Downing Sr.
Jean Burchett writes in a letter of 3 Oct 1991 "James Downing Sr. b. N.Y. about 1740 - Welsh descent - moved to Va & from there to Ky & was killed by Indians."
This seems to be based on a biographical sketch written in 1878 about James Franklin Downing, son of Dennis Downing, see his notes for details.
