Hello Carlene, I just read your messge board on the Fowlers. I have a little bit of info to pass to you. According to my records, Henry Fowler married Rebecca Newell and had the following children: Rebecca abt 1656 Henry abt 1658 William abt 1660 John abt 1663 mary abt 1668 Newell abt 1668 Grace abt 1670 Jerimia abt 1673 Sara abt 1673 HENRY married Abigail and had the following: Henry 1679 Abigail 1681 Rebecca MOSES 1684 William 1687 John 1689 Susana 1690 Elanor 1695 Edmund 1698 Mary 1681 Moses married Sarah Archer My interest in that line stopped there! I am interested in the FOWLERS from several of Henry's line because they married into several of the other families that I have in my extended tree. I am stumped on one Fowler! ELIZABETH FOWLER (died in Putnam Valley, NY) married Moses Dusenbery (born abt 1710, Hempstead, LI, NY and died in Brunswick NY around 1810.) They had a son Moses (born in 1750, Putnam Valley, NY abt 1750). Moses married in Fishkill and then lived the rest of his life in Brunswick. If you have any info on that Elizabeth please let me know! best regards, wayne

One always seems to get into trouble when this is done, so please understand that the following is offered in a very undogmatic fashion. Based on the records I have (based on Wharton Dickinson who has not always been right - I understand that Christine Cecilia Fowler has corrected some of his errors, but I have not seen her work), the following Henry (whose children parallel the post by Wayne) is not the son of Henry and Rebecca, but rather the son of William and Mary of Flushing, NY. These lines are very confusing because there are two Williams in Flushing - sometimes three. One is the son of Joseph Fowler who immigrated with his brother Richard to Rhode Island about 1650. The other is the son of Henry and Rebecca. The latter's son Henry married Abigail Hoyt and had: Joseph, Henry, Gilbert, Sarah, Jane, Mary, and Ann. Will dated July 2, 1734. I share this information simply to show that there are differences of opinion on the matter. Even though there are wills in some cases, the common names used by all the Fowlers and their common residences suggests some caution. I would also point out that the Dusenburys and Fowlers have several connections. Jeremiah married Sarah Dusenbury; brother Benjamin married Hannah Dusenbury; sister Mary married Henry Dusenbury - all children of William and Mary. WILLIAM FOWLER is said to have settled in Flushing about 1680. On March 15, 1687, Nicholas Parcel, his wife's grandfather, conveyed to him 1/2 of Duck Creek meadow, lying between Flushing and Newtown (Book A, p. 43); Oct.11, 1688, his brother-in-law, Henry Taylor (husband of sister Sarah), conveyed to him 50 acres at Great Cove (Book B, No. I, p. 151); and Jan. 5, 1689, 10 acres more at Great Cove (Book B, No.1, p. 153). In the tax list of Flushing, 1698, we find William Fowler and wife Mary, sons William, John, Joseph, Benjamin, daughters Mary and Rebecca, negro boy Jack. Mr. Fowler m.
