William Fowler was brother to John Fowler of Hopkins County, Kentucky. I haven't done much research on John's line but saw your post and am now in the process of tracing all the Fowlers of Hopkins and Webster Counties, Kentucky. I do not believe Daniel is son of John Fowler but he is definitely of the family. On May 17, 1849, John Fowler of Hopkins County, Kentucky wrote his brother Moody Fowler of Granville County, North Carolina informing him of their arrival at THOMAS FOWLER'S on April 26 after a 46-day journey. In this letter, he also informs Moody that he saw "brother William" who is living in Fentrys [Fentress] County, Tennessee. This letter is published in part in the book "House of Fowler" by Grover Parsons Fowler. >From this letter, we learn that John Fowler of Hopkins County, Ky; William Fowler of Fentress County, Tennessee; and Moody Fowler of Granville County, North Carolina are brothers. We also have both time and place for the departure and arrival of John Fowler and his family and we know that John Fowler arrived at Thomas Fowler's home in Hopkins County. We know he left Granville County, NC in March of 1849 and arrived in Hopkins County, Kentucky April 26, 1849. So, I began matching Fowler marriages in Granville County, North Carolina with families enumerated in the 1850 census for Hopkins County, Kentucky. There's lots and lots of them but SURPRISE! I will supply you with that when I am done but one family is of particular interest to you, James T. Hardin whom married Elizabeth Fowler in Granville County, NC on 14 Oct 1842. Daniel Fowler 33. He is Indexed as "Danl Fowler Hardin" because there are ditto marks after Fowler. At this point I am not sure Mary is Fowler or Hardin but if she is a Fowler, we may have his mother. James T. Hardin, District 2, Hopkins Co., KY, HH#649, dtd 2 September 1850 James T Hardin 29 Elizabeth Hardin 26 Mary A Hardin 4 Joseph D Hardin 2 Danl Fowler 33 Mary Fowler 53 Kirk Fowler [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
