Family history has her as the daughter of Evin Layton Dowling and his second wife "Ronny" Ironia Rhoden. They have not been located in the census together.

Nettie Dowling age 9 was enumerated in the Pierce County, GA 1910 Federal Census in the household of Alfred and Lizzie Hickox. Also enumerated in the household are Ethel Dowling and an adopted boy. Both girls are enumerated as nieces of Alfred since both of his wives were sisters of Evin Layton Dowling.

Nettie married the youngest son of Malachi and Nellie Sellers Thompson....William Thompson, a veteran of the World War I. According to Will's WWI Registration dated 1917, the newlyweds lived on his parents' farm in Hilliard, FL with his widowed mother. Just before 1920, the couple moved to St Augustine, FL, where several of Will's siblings had already migrated

Will and Nettie had five children before his early death in 1934.

Just before WWII, widow Nettie Thompson married Dorsey Lee Hankins in Putnam Co, FL in 1941. The war was over in 1945 with both her sons returning home. Records show they lived in St Augustine through 1949 before relocating to Alabama. Most of the children, including Dorsey's daughter from his first marriage, were adults, yet Nellie's daughters went to AL also. D L was mechanic and a driver, and at one time worked at the Navy Air Station in Jacksonville.

Children with unknown grave sites and not listed in the relationship lists are Thelma Thompson, who married Rex Cook, died June 1992 in Pushmataha, AL, and
Carrie Belle Thompson, who married Frank Burrous
