Deborah, I don't know who this Steven Fowler is but he got that info from my website. Of course that is OK as that is the reason it is there. Most of that work is from my sister and and things we have compiled in the last 30 years and some other cousins also contributed to it. Of course lots came from HOF book by Grover P. Fowler too. I gave the page numbers on the website too for sources. I have updated my website since it was copied by Steven so you can get much more from it. Check it out at the bottom of this mail in my signature line. Keep check on it often as I update my website often as I find new info.

Notes for JOHN FOWLER II: [Christopher Fowler Descendants.FTW] >From "Kissing Kin" by Katherine Childress Hillers page 174a "IX-6 John Fowler, land grants, Henrico Co. VA 1662" 18. John FOWLER (4) was born in 1638 in England. (1) He died in 1687.(1) John Fowler came to America somewhere between 1650 and 1660, but in 1662 he received grants of land on the Appomatox River. In 1673 he received another grant of land from Sir William Berkley, Governor, for the transportation of eight persons to the colony. The territory in which John Fowler settled was then on the border of civilization. When the first colonist sought a site for a settlement in the vicinity in 1607, they found an Indian town near the mouth of the Appomatox, present site of Petersburg, and nearby was the village of Matoax, home of Pocahontus, one of Virginia's most romantic figures. Fort Henry was built by Governor Berkley in 1646, and many exploring expeditions went out from this frontier post. The nearby Indian trading post called Peters Point, established by Major Peter Jones, later grew into the present city of Petersburg. John Fowler settled just across the Appomattox from Fort Henry and there laid the foundation in America for the House of Fowler. John Fowler was no doubt a member of the Society of Friends before he came to America and perhaps he knew George Fox, the Puritan silk weaver who, at the age of 25 established the Society of Friends, who later came to be known as "Quakers." George Fox visited John Fowler's home on a visit to America in 1672, and it was from the vicinity in which John Fowler lived that so many of the members of that faith went forth to establish the Society of Friends in other sections. Godfrey Fowler, youngest son of John Fowler, was also a Quaker and was prominent in their councils. (4) 1. Richard Gildart Fowler (deceased).
