Connie, I think someone needs to contact the Sherriff in that county since someone has removed or destroyed the graves. GA has passed laws to protect the cemeterys in GA and the fines are pretty stiff. Whoever removed the stones can be made to fix the cemetery back like it was. Also whoever descends from those folks in the cemetery actually owns the cemetery and there has to be access to it. Of course you probably already know this??? DAVE To: FOWLER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FOWLER] Hilliard F. Fowler Hi, Judy! Thanks for the information. This certainly clears up alot, and it gives another family tie to Minty Fowler. Now, if I can just find out who Minty Fowler's father was. Also, the DeKalb County 1850 Census backs up the book's information re Hilliard F. Fowler. Now for the reason I originally e-mailed the request for descendants of Hilliard F. and Alice Priscilla Hairston Fowler. Alice Priscilla was a descendant of Isaac Towers, Jr.; the Isaac Towers family cemetery has had a couple of residential back fences built on part of it. Also, someone took some of the tombstones and arranged them somehow in her back yard. One of the DeKalb History Center's cemetery experts mentioned that a wall was made out of the tombstones. At present, there is no access to the cemetery. A lady pastor lives on/owns land on which she built a church. The church/residential land is enclosed by a gate. I am currently trying to work with the DeKalb History Center to firmly establish that as the Isaac Towers Cemetery. The DeKalb Planning Department is going to visit the location; they have the land lots plotted and have documentation of the location of that which they have listed as the Isaac Towers cemetery. If anyone in this group is a descendant/relative or knows of a descendant, please e-mail me at conelizhe@comcast.net; it probably would be better to pursue this matter further privately. Thanks again for your help. Connie Decatur, GA DeKalb County Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - More reliable, more storage, less spam
