The name McDowell is a modification of the Gaelic Mac Dhu ghall, or MacDougal, meaning son or descendant of the dark stranger (or Dane). The name was given over ten centuries ago to Norse settlers in Galloway, Scotland and the descendants of a son of Prince Fergus and Princess Elizabeth de Galloway, daughter of King Henry I of England.

What is correct?

Is the FAG in error? Is the FS profile wrong?

Is there another couple with similar names?

Help?

Abraham McDowell is perhaps a duplicate but showing as son or brother.
Dan Cornett, please check?
I will stop working on the McDowells now.
