Caren, I have little information on John Fowler Sr, except from DAR records which state that he was born 1740 Scotland. He died 1785, Syracuse NY. He served as a private in Capt. Benjamin Aylsworth's co. Albany Co. NY Militia. He and Eliza Ann Keith, were married, assuming NY. John and Eliza had 2 sons, that I can document. They were both born Albany Co. Ny. 1.William Fowler was b 1779, d 1865, Calistoga, Napa CA. Lots of history on him, he was quite influential during the time of the settling of Ca. when it was a Mexican territory. He was a master carpenter.... I have been led to believe that the Fowlers were Architects, Teachers, Lawyers, and in Politics. 2.John Fowler (my lineage) born 1782 Albany Co. NY d 1860, South Bend Indiana. John m. Elizabeth Howey. Their son (my gr grandfather) was a military man, served in Mexican War, and was a Col. in the Civil War. Have lots of research done on both John and William and their families, just can't get back beyond John Sr. Albany NY. I have had no success in connecting my John SR. to the numerous Fowler descendents in New England. Do you have any links with any Fowler's who have those professional interests?
