Currently I am stuck at my ggg-grandparents, George McCauley (McCawley) 1797?-1828 and Catherine Schroyer (Schreyer) 1792-1868.
Both were born in Pennsylvania (according to 1880 census returns on two of their sons, Samuel and George Jr.) I cannot find their birth records and so, cannot trace their parents.
Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Royds Pownall was born in 1887 as second son of of late C. A. W. Pownall, Blackheath.
He married in 1918 with Lucy Louttit Gray (died 1950), youngest daughter of late William Henderson, Aberdeen.
He was educated at Rugby School; Royal Military Academy, Woolwich; Staff College, Camberley and Imperial Defence College.

Indian Roots
Legend has it that most of the women in my family were Cherokee. Tracing them has proved almost impossible. Any idea as to the origin of the first name Armieo? My great-great grandmother Armieo Lowe was born 1812 in N.C. Family called her Anny or Anna.
