I believe that your McDowell's are in the same line as mine.
In a book touching on the Kane Estates in Co.Monaghan, I read about the large McDowell family that went down from Aughnacloy Tyrone and Rented lands in on these Monaghan Estates, to start up wood and corn mills.

Patrick McDowell married the daughter of Robert Urey and they were all very wealthy. They had about 13 children, most of them boys. The Urey' name was spelt Wry at that time and place.
