This is to AncestrySpirit@aol.com, Please contact me personally at otime1@yahoo.com The files that you posted came directly from my website but it is way out of date. Most of that work was mine and my sisters but we got a lot from the book HOUSE OF FOWLER by Grover P. Fowler and many other sources. It is a compilation of about 30 years of research. Of course many others have found info and we tried to give credit to the folks that we got it from. Go to my website and get my updated files. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=otime I usually update it weekly as I find new stuff. BTW, who is this Steven Fowler you mention as he must be using my old files too?

Thanks for your response. I'm still working to get a Fowler into DAR Patriot's List. I believe one of the Richards (mostly Jr.) who lived part of his life in the Granville County, NC areas - would be in the time-frame. Fran Higgins
