My most recent DOWNER is Clarissa, born 27 April, 1806. Clarissa was the daughter of Joseph DOWNER and his second wife, Sarah HALL of Fayette City, PA. For those of you who have "The DOWNERS of America, With Genealogical Record", by David R. DOWNER, Clarissa would be #725.
Clarissa married Reverend John THOMPSON and moved to Gordon, Kansas. He died in 1870, and she returned to Fayette City in 1876 and died there, 13 February 1887. Her husband was a missionary to the Pottawatomie Indians in Kansas, appointed by the Free Will Baptists.
