As long as the Fowler list is hot, I'm going to toss mine out there again and see if anyone new has joined the list who might be related. John FOWLER, son of Nathan FOWLER and Elizabeth PEPPER(s), was b. abt 1826, possibly in Jackson or Gwinnett Co., GA. He married Sarah Ann NORRIS 14 Jan. 1847 in Gwinnett County and stayed there possibly until after the Civil War. Sarah Ann was the daughter of John "Jethro" NORRIS and Mary JOHNSON, found in the 1850 census of Gwinnett County. John FOWLER possibly served in the war with Co. B, 8th Regt., Ga State Guards as a Lieutenant, exiting service as a Lieutenent Colonel. A "John O.W. Fowler" is shown having served from Jackson and Gwinnett counties. Believe one of these initials may stand for "Oscar." Family stories say John came home from the war and was known as "The Colonel" in Campbell Co. Sarah Ann's parents moved to Fayette County sometime after 1850, along with Sarah Ann's sister, Lucy NORRIS, who married John Fowler's brother, Zephaniah FOWLER. I suspect that Sarah also moved to Fayette sometime after 1860, possibly when John joined the war effort. Her last child is said to have been born in Campbell County, GA in 1861. Campbell and Fayette's boundary switched often during that time in the Fairburn/north Fayette area, and Sarah and John FOWLER are found in Fairburn, GA (Campbell County) in 1870. Children of John FOWLER and Sarah Ann NORRIS, were: (1) Nancy Elizabeth FOWLER, b. 1848 in Gwinnett, m. John Pierce WALKER, son of Bartlett WALKER and Mary ABERCROMBIE. Marriage said to have taken place in Campbell County, but I cannot find a record of it. (2) William Jethro FOWLER, b. 1849 in Gwinnett Co. (shows as infant in 1850 census). William married Lucinda Caroline OWENS in 1866 in Meriwether County. She was the daughter of Martin OWENS and Martha KENNEDY or KANADY. William and "Lucy" appear in the 1870 Campbell County census, Campbellton Dist., with one son, OSCAR FOWLER. These are my great-grandparents. (3) George Wilson FOWLER, b. 1852 in Gwinnett Co. (Shows in 1860 census). George married Samantha C. HORNSBY in 1876 in Campbell County (have marriage record and info from living descendant). George's father, John FOWLER, worked on the farm of a Paul HORNSBY in the late 1860s (source: diary of Henry Newton Cochran who married Lucinda Owens' sister, Matilda.) (4) Mary Catherine (aka Molly, Polly, Mary Kate) FOWLER, b. 1854 in Gwinnett Co. (shows in 1860 census). "Mary Kate" married A.J. "Jack" WHITE in 1879 in Cleburne Co., AL (5) Avarilah FOWLER, b. abt 1857. Shows in 1860 census, then disappears. Thought to have died as a child, but not listed in Gwinnett County Deaths. May have been buried in the Fowler-Gresham cemetery which has been paved over. Nathan and Elizabeth also said to be buried there. (6) Joel B. FOWLER, b. 4 Dec 1861, family members say he was born in Campbell County. Joel married (1) Eliza A. BALLENGER in 1880 in Cleburne Co., AL. Eliza was daughter of Albert D. BALLENGER and Mary Elizabeth WALDEN. Joel married (2) Ella TWEEDELL in 1895 in Carroll Co., GA. Ella was the daughter of John T. TWEEDELL and Phoebe STEPHENSON. John FOWLER died sometime after 1873 and is said to be buried at Shadnor Baptist Church in Union City, Campbell Co. (now South Fulton Co.) but I have not been able to locate his grave. The family was said to have suffered greatly during reconstruction, lost their farm and most of their possessions. John may be buried in an unmarked grave because they couldn't afford a gravestone. John is said to have died from consumption contracted during the war. About 1878, Sarah Ann NORRIS FOWLER and all her children moved to Cleburne County, AL, where they are found in the 1880 census. They stayed there for the next 40 years, until some of the descendants began to move away. Most are buried in the Ranburne Baptist Church Cemetery in Ranburne (south of Heflin), Cleburne County, including: Sarah Ann NORRIS FOWLER (1828-1896) William Jethro FOWLER (1849-1919) Lucinda Caroline OWENS FOWLER (1847-1886) William's first wife Sarah Margaret VAUGHN HART FOWLER (1858-1938) William's second wife Nancy Elizabeth FOWLER WALKER John Pierce WALKER (Nancy Elizabeth's husband) George Wilson FOWLER (1852-1928) Samantha C. HORNSBY FOWLER (1854-1910) Mary Kate FOWLER BLAKE (1883-1919) (daughter of George and Samantha) Mary Kate FOWLER WHITE (1854-1887) daughter of John and Sarah Ann Fowler Eliza A.

Many thanks ... Judy Fowler Kilgore Newnan, GA
