Parents of Richard Hawthorne Ramsey Far Right
Noel Baxter Dowling married Elizabeth Wells, daughter of his father’s neighbor, Eben Josiah Wells. Dowling was the son of a Dale County, Alabama, pioneer, John Dowling, who came from Darlington District, South Carolina. Noel Baxter Dowling saw the new Midland Railroad as an opportunity. He sold his 100 acre farm in Ozark and moved his family to Pinckard near the junction of the roads coming from Campbellton, Florida, and Columbia, Alabama. He’d dabbled in the mercantile business in Ozark:
Hats, caps, boots and shoes; also
a good line of Hardware, glassware,
crockeryware, and tinware' will keep constantly on hand
FANCY AND FAMILY GROCERIES

Hayward Hart Dowling
According to R.A. Dowling in The Dowling Family of the South,
“Noel Baxter Dowling erected one of the two "hotels" needed to handle the drummers who came there to work the surrounding countryside...It was in this period that Haywood Hart, a son of N.B. entered business. The old fifteen by twenty foot store in w
hich this boy started his fortune still stood on the Dowling farm west of Pinckard. "H.H." as he was known became the first millionaire to descend from ancestor Robert Dowling, ...Yet one of his first endeavors had been the job of "butch" boy on his hometown's railroad, selling onion plants, seed, newspapers, etc.” Eventually, Hayward Hart came into the possession of the Houston Hotel in Dothan, Alabama.

(After Noel Dowling's death, Robert Ramsey, attorney and developer, bought out several of the heirs and held the controlling interest in the Hotel. Hilda Ramsey ran the restaurant which was famous for its delicious shrimp salad and mile high lemon meringue pie. The elegant ballroom became one of the favorite places for folks to go eat after church on Sundays. I remember attending a cotillion ball in the ballroom after my ballroom dancing classes. My mother-in-law, Hilda Ramsey, did a beautiful after rehearsal party for my husband (her son) and me in the ballroom.) The ballroom is now the set for WTVY news.
Noel Baxter Dowling built a home in Dothan, Alabama, at 401 North Alice Street, which eventually became the home of his daughter Cora Lee Dowling and her husband, Richard Hawthorne Ramsey. Richard Hawthorne Ramsey came to Pinckard for work on the Midland Railroad. His father, David Wardlaw Ramsey was a veteran of the Civil War who trained at Tulane University as a doctor after the War and then became a Baptist minister. The church at which he preached was on the property that was once part of a large plantation owned by Joseph Richard Hawthorne, his wife’s father. David Wardlaw Ramsey’s father, Abiezer Clark Ramsey, had been a Methodist circuit rider before marrying Elizabeth Amanda Wardlaw Bonham, the widow of Simon Bonham, planter and lawyer who moved his family from Abbeville, South Carolina, to Wilcox County, Alabama. Soon after Simon Bonham died, Elizabeth Amanda Wardlaw’s brother-in-law was killed with his friend Travis at the Alamo.
Cora and Richard Hawthorne Ramsey raised their four children, Richard Hayward, Joseph Robert, Cassie and Francis, in this house (above right). Their son, Robert Ramsey remembered driving the cow from his parent’s house in the 400 block of North Alice Street to his grandparent’s farm in Pinckard (below). The home on N. Alice is now Mildred's Restaurant.

Generation No. 1
1. FRAMPTON1 DOWLING was born Abt. 1600 in in Tyrone County, Ireland.
Notes for FRAMPTON DOWLING:
Arrived in America Abt August 1643 from Ireland.[wiseIIIr1.FTW][E Dowling.FTW] According to the book, "Early Virginia Immigrants" pg. 97, there lists an Fr. Dowling who came in 1643 b y way of a ship whose Captain was Samuel Mathews, Esq. All records that can be found indicate this is the same Frampton Dowling. According to the book, "Dowling's of the South" by R. A . Dowling, too, list that on August 1, 1643 a FRAMPTON Dowling arrived in Virginia on board Captain Samuel Matthews ship. It is not known whether he was the father of a Corporal WILLIAM Dowling mentioned in Maryland records of 1694 nor whether he was kin to the Robert Dowling referred to in the Augusta County records of Virginia in1700.What is known, however, that in Virginia about 1730, a small DOWLING was born and given the name of ROBERT. Had he died without issue, DOWLING-blooded person mentioned in this book would have ever lived. For he was the Father of this Dowling Family - a family that has more descendants in the South than any other by the name Dowling.

Big Mama’s Cheese Topped Stuffed Potatoes
Bake potatoes for 75 minutes (or until done) in oven preheated to 350°. While the potatoes are still hot, cut them in half across the “short side”, and carefully scoop out the contents, reserving the skins to be refilled later. Mash the scooped out potato with lightly salted butter to the desired consistency. Add finely chopped scallions to taste, and one finely chopped sweet pickle. Mix well. Carefully refill the potato skins with this mixture. Place stuffed potatoes into a glass baking dish (They should be placed close together, so that they touch one another.) Cover the tops of the potatoes with grated sharp cheddar cheese, and bake again in a preheated 350° oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
The potatoes may be made in advance and refrigerated, but it is a good idea to allow them to come up to room temperature before you bake them the second time to melt and brown the cheese.
Big Mama’s Stuffed Devilled Crab
Saute together:
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped scallions
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/8 cup finely chopped pimiento (from the jar)
To this sautéed mixture, add dark crabmeat (approximately the amount in 4 crabs), which has been carefully picked over and all of the shell and cartilage removed. Then add two slices of white bread, which have been soaked in water and then had all of the water squeezed out of them. Blend together, then blend in ½ cup finely chopped parsley. Then blend in 2 well beaten eggs, and season the mixture with Tabasco® and black pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture back into the crab shells, sprinkle fine, seasoned bread crumbs over the top, and then bake in a 350° oven for about 20 minutes, or until done.
If you want to make crabcakes, rather than bake the mixture in crab shells or ramekins, gently mold the mixture into cakes, refrigerate until firm, roll the cakes in bread crumbs or corn meal, then fry ‘till done.

Grandma Dowling’s Pot Roast
Marinate a pot roast in the refrigerator for two days in scuppernong or red wine. Just before cooking, season the pot roast with nutmeg, lemon, pepper, and a little meat tenderizer. (Accent® or Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer® will do nicely.) Cook slowly in a mixture of the marinade and water for about 2½ hours, or until done. (Check after the first hour.)

Mimi’s Cold Brandy Soufflé
Pour ½ cup of cold water into a saucepan. Sprinkle in 1 package of Knox® unflavored gelatin. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Then add the yolks of 3 eggs, and mix well. Place over very low heat, and stir until the gelatin has dissolved and the mixture has thickened somewhat. Do not boil! Stir into the mixture ¼ cup of cognac and ¼ cup of crème de cacao. Cool the mixture until it mounds slightly. Beat 3 egg whites until foamy. Slowly add 1/3 cup of sugar, and beat until like meringue. Fold the egg white mixture into the mounded egg yolk mixture; then fold in 1 cup whipped heavy cream. Pour the mixture into individual soufflé ramekins with well buttered collars. Cover with SaranWrap®, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Serve garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and shaved bitter chocolate.
The flavoring for this cold soufflé may be varied to suit the occasion, and many other liqueurs will be found to be equally effective. Vary the garnish, other than the whipped cream, accordingly.

Lucie Weber’s Brown Sugar Cookies
Cream ½ cup butter. Add 6 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 6 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 1 well beaten egg, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Mix well. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 cup coconut, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts, and blend well. Drop small amounts of the dough, each about the size of a walnut, onto a greased cookie sheet, far enough apart to allow the dough to spread without the cookies touching each other. Bake at 375° degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
These may be made as “plain” sugar cookies, without any additions, if you prefer.
Tip from Lucie: “I often mix my dough for cookies the night before and leave it in the icebox overnight, covered. I find that the dough does not spread so much on the baking sheet if you refrigerate it overnight.”
