Hi Marian, My FOWLER connection is Opal who was born in Millerton, OK about 1931 or so. Her mother's maiden name was BACCUM. At this point in time, I have no idea where the FOWLER's come from except that Opal was either a 2nd or 3rd great-granddaughter of Choctaw Chief Thomas LEFLORE, as stated in her obituary. So I should probably check out what you stated below. Perhaps it will fit somehow. Thanks for the information.
