Robert Dowdle Jr was the son of Mary and Robert Dowdle Sr.

He married first Eleanor Jane Pickens in about 1799 in South Carolina. They had 6 children.

He married second Jane 'Jenny' Bennett about 1815. They had 11 or 12 children. The gravestone indicates that she died in 1880, but other evidence indicates 1870.

While this monument "appears" to be a cenotaph, on pg 210 of the the book "Robert Dowdle Sr and His Descendants" written by Harold L Dowdle, M.A., Ph. D., it states "Robert, Jr., died during the Civil War at almost ninety years of age. He was buried in the Andrew Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery, which was situated on land that he had donated to the Church. Jane Dowdle's death date is not known."
