Helen, I am sorry to confuse you about where I came into the Fowler family. My line is Wm. Robert Gandy/Mary Virginia Patterson, His parents were Henry Hunt Gandy/Evalyne/Emile Lenoir. Mary's family was John W Patterson/Nancy Moore. I connect to the Fowlers thru the Gandy side of my family--I think. It is strange that you mentions Elizabeth Jane Doss marrying Bird Griffin McFarland (you said but must be 1900), Minnie Patterson was also married to him if records correct. She was the sister to my great grandmother (Mary Virginia Patterson) I have the 1900 Perry co, ALA census John W Doss (45) Nancy E (45) George R (18) Joseph M (11) Bevie D (10) Vadna L (8) Eugene J (6) Eva (1-1897) Elvie (1-1897) The next line list Wm. Fowler (49) Sarah (45) Mary J(28) Louis W (14) Susan M (12) Elma N (10) but don't have next page. John P Cash is listed first (his mother and my great grandmother (Araminta Jane Pounds were sisters) Wm. Robert Gandy/Mary Virginia Then Green Fountain/Mary----Absolum James/Adeline (married sister to Minnia and Mary)----Jack Mizzle/Tisha which was Mertisha? (this was sister to the above)--- then the next line is John Doss/Nancy the Wm. Fowler. It was strange that I had gotten that page and over it when found great great aunts then in middle of family was this Doss name. This is the website for someone that is kin to the Fowler/Fountain/Baggett and others. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/a/l/Marlene--Walker. Write her and she can help on that line. I am trying to trace my dad's side--Wm. Martin Holt, Sr/Araminta Jane Pounds also Wm. Martin Holt, Jr/Nancy Everline Gandy. I can find lots of the Gandy's but NOTHING on the Holts. My grandfather came to Bowie co, TeX from Bibb Co., ALA around 1902. Lots of the Fowler family, etc. Were already here. Her family and mine lived around 20 miles from hers and I never knew had family there. A sister's son and another sisters 3-4 children came to Texas and didn't have connect that I can find from cousins. That is the saddest thing can think of. I will find how we connect someday. Please keep you eye out for Martin Holt in Ala. Nell
