I thought you might be interested in this. I was given some information many years ago and in it, it says: (Please read all the way through and go to the link). "A book called “History of the Fowlers” was compiled (with some help of sixteen others) by Miss Christine Cecilia Fowler, A.M. She was a retired teacher who spent 26 years tracing her ancestors and having the 938 page book published by a Batavia Firm in New York, around 1950. She sold the thousand copies printed for $10.00 each, just the cost of the printing. The book proves the Fowlers came from England and that the generations started in 876, direct descendants of King Henry, the Fowler, the original Fowler. He was one of the Saxons who helped settle the wilderness now called England. The Saxons, Franks, etc., elected him king of central Europe, as he was a wise and humane ruler, but he was not King of England. The book also includes the meaning of the Fowler name and the Coat of Arms with the history and meaning of each feature. The ancient Arms was changed to the present design by King Richard I (Coeur of Lion) at the third Crusade in 1190." Well......I decided to do a search on the internet and I found part of this book that this person is talking about. It lists tons of Fowlers and dates. Thought this might be helpful for this list if you don't already know about it. I hope to find more of this book as well. http://members.aol.com/wtgmike/genealogy/hist.html Happy New Year!!!!!

Hi Rod, Thanks for your kind reply. I'm sending you a copy of a reply forwarded to another kind lister. Thanks for your interest "The FOWLER of interest to me is Elizabeth Fowler nee THOMAS born in Almondsbury, Glostershire, Eng. in c1830 and married William L Fowler in England prior to coming to New Zealand. I'm not sure how they came to NZ or if they first came to Australia as Elizabeth's brother, Robert (my g-grandfather) and one sister were both here in Oz. I know she died in Nelson in Nov.1862 and was buried in the Wakapuaka Cem. in Nelson. This information came from a kind soul in NZ some years ago who had a newspaper report. Her headstone apparently states "our mother" so I am interested in finding maybe some of her descendants. She was only 32 at time of her death. At one time I happened to hear of a book in the Dunedin Uni Lib. called "The Fowlers from Gloucester to Nelson" I emailed and wrote to the library asking for information from this book but have NEVER had an answer. Hope this all makes sense to you, basically I am hoping to contact any living descendants of hers.

Cowboy, You sent me a line for James H. Fowler 1842- 1892 Buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in East Point, Ga. If you see this, could you please pass that along to me again, I seem to have lost it. Thanks. Steven

I have no further knowledge of this man or his family. I am not related. I found this article in the Pioneer Times, a quarterly publication of the Mid-Missouri Genealogical Society, Inc. Vol 11, No 2 City of Jefferson, MO April 1876 One of the early pioneer families of Cole County Missouri was the Fowler family. A summary statement of the history of this family is in the book "History of Jefferson City" by James E. Ford, published in 1938. On page 465 one paragraph is as follows: "The Fowler Family in this city is of Virginia origin. James Fowler of Virginia a colonial scout, served under Col. Wm. Russell at Fort Bliss. His son, James Fowler, Jr., born in Virginia in 1780, bought land in Saline county, Missouri, whither his widow, Esther Fullen Fowler started with her large family after his death in 1822. In Jefferson City she met a former neighbor and was induced to settle in this county. Her son, Whitley, born in 1815, was a small boy when the family arrived here. He became an engineer and surveyor, and served many years as county judge during which time he handled probate matters." According to tradition, Esther Fullen Fowler moved many of her possessions including some slaves to Missouri. This included a brief period of settling down in Washington County, Missouri, before their stopover in Jefferson City. A decision was made to locate permanently in Cole County. The children of James and Esther Fullen Fowler were (all but the youngest) born in Washington county, Virginia: NAME BIRTH MARRIAGE DEATH Sarah Whitley Nov 28, 1802 Wm. Barton Ragsdale Nov 22, 1825 Mary H. Apr 30, 1805 James Holder Feb 5, 1823 Susannah L. May 3, 1807 Josiah Hunter Apr 12, 1825 Heasy Dec 22, 1808 July 27, 1814 VA Dorcas F.

Jun 17, 1817 James Feaster James Miller May 15, 1819 Mary Bolivar Jan 16, 1864 It is on record that Esther Fowler bought 40 acres Apr 16, 1830 and 120 acres June 23, 1836. This included the Fowler farm home and cemetery of today. This well preserved home (part of it was over 30 years old at the time of the Civil war) is about 12 miles south of Jefferson City, MO. In the 1840 census of Cole County, Clark township "Ester" Fowler is shown 60-70 years with two white males 20-30 years and six slaves: 10-24 years, 3 females under 24 years, one female 36-55 years. She married a second time and died as Esther Wilson, June 21, 1841. She was the first to be buried in the Fowler Cemetery. Whitley Fullen Fowler married Anna Martin. The record of their marriage is found in the Cole County Court House, reads as follows: "This is to certify that I as Minister of the Gospel in the M.E. Church did this day solomize the rights of matrimony between Whitley F. Fowler Esq. and Miss Anna Martin daughter of Shelby and Elizabeth Martin all of Cole Co. Clark Township, Missouri" August the 10th 1843 H. K. Armitage Children of Whitley F. and Anna (Martin) Fowler were: Name Birth Marriage Death Isabella Jun 19, 1844 Samuel J.

To the Union forces, state and county government officials loyal to the north, any slaveowner was suspected of being a southern sympathizer, if not a rebel actively supporting the south. Some of the northern forces or possibly bushwackers, were camped near the Fowler farm. There was anticipation in the Fowler home as to whether their house might be burned. Some valuables including furniture, were removed and placed in hiding for safer keeping. Whitley had anticipated his slaves would be freed before long, as indicated by one store. Judy a slave had been promised a certain horse, when she was freed. Before that day arrived, the "bushwackers" attempted to steal that particular horse. Judy noticed their activity, grabbed an ax and threatened them unless they released "her horse". They left without the horse. Whitley Fullen Fowler had the confidence of his fellow citizens as indicated by his repeated election as Judge of the county court from Clark township. He also had the reputation of treating his slaves much better than the average slaveowner. However, the incoming Union forces were out to remove such a "suspicious man" from the area. Attempts of his family to hide him in the woods failed. What happened when he was found was told along with other items, in a biographical sketch published in the Jefferson City Peoples Tribune, Dec. 18, 1876: "Judge Whitley F. Fowler" "In two weeks, Judge Fowler retires from the position on the County Court Bench, he had held so long, and the duties of which he has performed so faithfully. He goes out of office with a record as clear and stainless as the noonday sun. Probably no man ever held an office in Cole county who retired to private life possessing so fully and unreserved the entire confidence of his fellow citizens. In the month of October 1827, over fifty-one years ago, Judge Fowler came to Cole County and settled in Clark Township, and there he has lived ever since. When Moniteau County was organized by the Legislature of 1844-45, the Cole County Court consisted of James English, William Miller and Alexander Irvin. As Moniteau County was principally formed from Cole, Judges English and Miller were cut off when the lines were drawn, thus creating two vacancies on the Cole County bench. In the spring of 1845, Governor John C. Edwards appointed Whitley F. Fowler and Robert A. Ewing to fill the vacancies thus occasioned. In 1846, Judge Fowler was elected by a direct vote of the people, his time expiring in 1850, when he was beaten for the same office by John W. Wells. It was during the great Benton and anti-Benton excitement, and Judge Fowler belonged to the anti-Benton wing of the party. Mr. Wells was a whig-known as a Benton whig and the Benton Democrats threw their solid strength for h! im, and he was elected by seventeen votes. In 1854 Judge Fowler was again elected, and was successfully re-elected until he went out of office in 1865 under the ousting ordinance of the Drake Infamy. We must not omit to mention as one of the episodes of Judge Fowler's life that he was a victim of a little shoulder strapped tyranny during the war. In 1862 the Judge was suspected on entertaining southern sympathies, and to be an object of suspicion at that day was nearly equivalent to being adjudged guilty at once, and that with no unnecessary formality. a wave of the hand or the scratch of a pen by some epauletted martinet was sufficient to send the best citizen in Cole County to a dungeon. Washburn's troops swept through Cole in May, 1862, and swept Judge Fowler away from his farm in Clark Township, a prisoner. He was taken to Lebanon and kept awhile, and then transferred to Springfield, where he remained until the following September, when he was released by order of Geo. E. B. Brown. Judge Fowler returned to Cole and held court as usual, until he stepped down and out in 1865, in obedience to the fist of the ousting ordinance. In 1871, Judge F. A. Clarenbach, then one of the county justices resigned his position to administer the Berri estate, and Governor B. Gratz Brown appointed Judge Fowler to fill the vacancy. He was regularly elected at the ensuing Nov. election, and in 1872 was re-elected for the term of six years. His term expires on the first of January. altogether, Judge Fowler has served on the county bench nearly twenty-four years." Present day 1986 descendants of Judge Fowler continue to live in Cole county and neighboring counties. They include great grand-children Roy Fowler, Pauline fowler Hager, Mildred Fowler Korsmeyer, Herbert Hahn.

Hi, I have Fowler relatives in NJ somewhere, too. My g g grandfather was Alexander Fowler from Geneva, NY who married Jane Smith from Tuckahoe, NJ. They had a daughter, Isabelle who married Samuel Dilks. I think they had a son Thomas...If any of this sounds familiar, let me know. thanks Rhoda Turner LostMtRose@aol.com

Stephanie, I don't think your line is related to me, I say that because I only have one proof of information that my father was born in New Jersey in 1908, to a Frederick Fowler. My proof is doing research from 1920 back to 1910. I have looked through the census and found a Frederick Fowler married to a Hannah and they had two children, Cornelius and Frederick Fowler. I think this might be my family, because the ages are right and the names are right. This family lived in the NJ, Hudson Co. 4th ward, ED#111 in 1910. Then I think there is Frederick's father who lived in the same neighborhood also. Cornelius is my bloodline, but I wanted to find his brother and family too. What county was your family from, ward and ED# too. The story of my father, Cornelius Fowler, is that he was sent to live with a cousin in 1916, and his brother Frederick was also sent to live with a relative, but I can't find out who that is. Frederick #2 would have been about 6 yrs old. The two brothers never saw each other after that, even though my father looked for his brother all his life. Now I am kinda taking up the quest to solve the mystery. If you have any ideas or possible connections through stories or what ever please keep me in mind. My Frederick Fowler Sr. was born in NY somewhere, and I naturally took it to be upstate NY where my father was raised, but it very well could of been NYC area. I still have alot of work to do. I hope we both find a connection. Anne

If you have any information about this Fowler line, I would appreciate it very much. What I think I know: Joseph Hamilton Fowler died (perhaps in 1864 by drowning), was buried in Bordentown, NJ, a Civil War vet; he married Sarah Wade who was buried in Burlington, NJ. They had a son named Joseph Hamilton Fowler, b. 6/9/1864 in Bordentown, NJ, d. 11/12/1942 buried in Bordentown; he married on 5/3/1886 Anna Mary Steen, b. 3/?/1868 in Groveville, NJ, d. April 1951, buried in Bordentown, NJ. They had a daughter Ida May Fowler b. 9/28/1886, d. perhaps 1977. Ida May Fowler married Harry Pugh Bartlett, Sr., 3/29/1905. Thank you. Stephanie

I'm looking for the family of my Great Uncle, Owen Francis Fowler. He was born 13 Mar 1891 in Chattanooga, TN. He married Lucy May Wilson in 1910 in Anderson, Madison County, Indiana. He died 9 Nov 1971 in Cleveland, Ohio. They had 2 children Mabel Frances Fowler b. 1910 and Carlene May Fowler b. 1924. Anyone who is related to or knows these people please let me know! Thanks a bunch! Barbara L (Jones) Richardson

I am actively making update 1 _MILT 2 PLAC Fought in War for Independence William Fowler possibly came to USA in 1775 or 1776. might have travelled with his brother John. lived in Hagerstown, MD then Baltimore. According to the records at the National Archives and Records Administration, he Served as a Private in the 2 Maryland Regt in Revolutionary War. An undated record shows he was delivered 1 shirt, 1 pair of shoes, and 1 pair of stockings. The first dated record is 11/1/1777 to 11/3/1777, it indicates a term of enlistment of 3 years. William Fowler served in the 2nd Maryland Regt , Capt Eli Dorsey's Co, commanded by Col Thomas Woolford. William Fowler was involved in the defense of Fort Mifflin, near Philadelphia. The British under command of General William Howe besieged the fort from November 10th till the fort fell on November 16th 1777. The British force lost 13 killed and 24 wounded. The American force numbered 450 men commanded by Colonel Samuel Smith. Of the 450, 250 were killed or wounded in the battle. One of the wounded was William Fowler. William was transported to an Army hospital where he was kept for several months. The next entry is dated 1/1/1778-1/3/1778, same commander and officer, the entry is "Sick Hosp". In the next entry, William Fowler is now in Lieut. Benjamin Price's Co of the 2nd Maryland Regt, still under Col Thomas Woolford. 2/1/1778-2/4/1778 "sick in Hospital" The next entry is from Feb 1778- March 18, 1778 still in Price's unit, "Hospital from Fort Mifflin". The final entry obtained indicates William was kept till 4/3/1778 in the hospital due to his wounds from Fort Mifflin.
