Audrey...no, I didn't know Fowlers were in Wake Co., although I suppose I should have. That seemed to be the migration path. Frankly I didn't know where to go since my backtrack trail ended with William J. Fowler and his brothers, George Wilson Fowler and L.C. Fowler in Ranburne, Alabama. I was just sort of reaching out to anyone who could give me a lead. And you have certainly done that. And you are right...family surnames have a way of working themselves into family given names and Wilson is all over the place in my Fowler family tree. I hadn't even thought of that. Luther is another given name that keeps cropping up. If you see any Luther Fowlers in the Carolinas, for gosh sakes please let me know. Thank you so very much for the lead. I will check it out. Judy
