    1. Re: [FOWLER] James H. Fowler 1842-1892,East Point, ga, Hillcrest cemetery.
    2. If you search for all the Fowlers buried at Hillcrest, you will come across mine, Luther and Lula (Blake) Fowler, and their daughter, Wilmer Fowler Hancock, who are not related (to my knowledge) to your James Fowler. There was a Fowler family in East Point early on which is included in the East Point history book. This James may belong to those Fowlers. I don't have a copy of the book, but my mother does. If you have a copy, it may give you a little history of those Fowlers. If you don't, I can borrow my mother's copy, but I can't do it until next week. My Fowlers didn't appear on the East Point scene until the 1930s, having moved from Cleburne County, AL to Atlanta in the mid-19-teens, then to East Point in the 1930s. Luther was the son of William Jethro Fowler and Lucinda Caroline Owens; William Jethro Fowler was the son of John Fowler and Sarah Ann Norris; and John Fowler was the son of Nathan Fowler and Elizabeth Peppers. The earliest record I have of my Fowlers is Nathan, born about 1800 in Tennessee (a topic for debate), who died in Gwinnett County about 1860. John Fowler died about 1877 and is supposedly buried at Shadnor Baptist Church cemetery in Union City, now Fulton, formerly Campbell County (grave has not been found), and his widow and all his children moved to Cleburne about 1878. If you like, I can see if your James is one of the Fowlers in the East Point book. I grew up in East Point. Judy Fowler Kilgore Newnan
