The following is taken from an old Izard County Historian dated Jan 1980:
"Elisha Bennett Dowdle was married 3 times.
His first wife was Mary Polly Smith.  Their children were: 
Martha, b. 1847, md. Thomas J. Cooper; Mary, born 1849, md. Frank Fowler;
William (Jack) Jackson, b. 1853, md. Lizzie McCuller; 
Ruth Amanda E., b. 1855, md. James Danial Lawrence; 
James Robert, b. 1859, d. 1870 or 1880.  
Nancy Lucinda, b. 1863, md. David Freeman.

Elisha's second marriage was to RACHEL COBB BOBBITT.
Children: John, Jessie, Thomas, Fannie, Nettie and Elisha Baxter.     

Third marriage was to Susan Clark.
One child, Nora Jane, md. Thomas Bennett Smith." 

According to another researcher:  "During the Civil War, Thomas Jefferson Cooper was in Alabama
where the Dowdle family was.  He married Martha Dowdle.
At one time, Elisha B. Dowdle was in the Big Pond Community, in what was then Sanford County,
now Lamar County, Alabama.  RACHEL had been married to ALLEN BOBBITT.  It was 2nd marriages
for both her and Allen.
