Alexander Fowler is my earliest known ancestor. Family tradition says he was descended from "A Fowler of England, who was a silk weaver and merchant" and "a daughter of the noble Douglas family of Stirling Castle, Scotland". She died young and Alexander came to America at age of 19. He had many half brothers and sisters. He may have been the Lt. Alexander Fowler of the "King's Foot" of the colony of Virginia during the French and Indian Wars, but Carol S. says he is NOT our Alex because the Lt. married a Sarah Smith and died Pittsburgh PA. I have several possible names for a wife of Alexander: (1) Carter (2) Polly N/Howell (3) Sarah Bugg. I have two "circa" birthdates for Alexander Sr: 1719 and 1726. c1754 was the marriage to Sarah Bugg (1725- ) at St Peters Parish, New Kent Co, VA. 20 Aug 1755 son Alexander Fowler Jr (1755-1821), Goochland Co, VA [House of Fowler] 1757 dtr Martha Fowler, Goochland Co, VA 01 Jan 1759 Sherwood Fowler (1759-1837) Goochland Co, VA 1761 son Edmund Fowler, Goochland 1763 dtr Prudence Fowler, Goochland ? Death, Goochland Co, VA - on the homestead, probably 1790 Census: First Census of US, Mecklenburg Co, VA; List of Sm. Davis, Alexander Fowler 9, Samuel Bugg 1. A message from Jean Bates cites "Phillips' Great Index of Biographical Reference" which says Alex Jr lived in Goochland Co on the homeplace. She asks about some judgement vs Alexander Sr. by Thomas Pleasants in Goochland Co. My line is through Sherwood Fowler who married Mary "Polly" Wingo.
