Hi, Since the Fowler list has been so active lately, I decided to post my Fowler information again. John Fowler, b. 1747 Sampson Co., NC d. 1845 Pike Co., AL. Married Hannah Sutton 1765 in NC. Children: James, William, Elizabeth, Beamon, Martha, Samuel, Hardy. John Fowler was a Revolutionary soldier who died in Pike County, Alabama abt 1845 when he was almost 100 years old. He was pensioned for Revolutionary War service in 1832, in Columbus County, North Carolina. In 1843, he applied for transfer of his pension to Pike Co., Alabama where he moved at the age of 90 to be nearer his children and to do better for his family. The 1843 application for transfer of his pension also states that on his way from North Carolina in 1837, he was robbed of his money and pension certificate. John Fowler's pension file is quite lengthy. According to his personal account therein, he was born in 1747, in Sampson (then Duplin) County in North Carolina where he lived when he joined, as a private, a company of Minute Men of which Richard Clinton was captain. Receiving three dollars and a pair of boots as bounty, he enlisted for six months at Matthews Old Field, in Sampson County. He described his unit's participation in the Battle of Moore's Cre! ek bridge near Wilmington and listed service under Captians Richard Clinton, Alfred Moore and William Vann, and under Colonel James Kinyon (Kenan). James Fowler almost certainly married two or more wives. However, no primary documentatiion of his marriages has been foundl (source: Clementine West Hughes, Magnolia, TX) Thanks, Myra Chambers
