Connie, Thought you'd like to know that the "Greatness Without Fame" book information on Hilliard F. Fowler conflicts with yours. The author states that Hilliard Franklin Fowler, b. 21 Dec 1848, d. 21 July 1886, m. Alice Priscilla Hairston, was the son of Alfred Scott Fowler and Adaline Cobb. He also states that Alfred Scott Fowler was the son of Minty Fowler and Unknown Akin. His source for the information on Minty Fowler's descendants was a Mrs. Hilliard Franklin Fowler Gardner, court records and census information. Mrs. Gardner was still living when the book was written. As I said before, these are not my Fowlers and I have no idea which is correct. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Judy
