She follows through James FOWLER. I know nothing of John FOWLER. These FOWLERS were Quakers, and were possibly located Pipe Creek - at least some of James' children were born there. James moved his family to Ohio in abt. 1815. From there some went to Michigan and Oklahoma. Descendants of Benjamin Fowler Generation No. 1 1. Benjamin1 Fowler was born 1735 in Maryland, and died 1820. He married Ales (Alice?). Children of Benjamin Fowler and Ales are: 2 i. John2 Fowler, born 1754. + 3 ii. James Fowler, born May 9, 1758 in Frederick Co., MD; died January 31, 1848. Generation No. 2 3. James2 Fowler (Benjamin1) was born May 9, 1758 in Frederick Co., MD, and died January 31, 1848. He married Mary Ogborn, daughter of Caleb Ogborn and Elizabeth. Notes for James Fowler: James Fowler was a tailor, says Mary Stanley, daughter of Rebecca COWGILL (sister to James). James came to Ohio about 1815. About 1833, James bought a small farm near Beloit, OH, in Smith Township, Mahoning Co. His son and daughter-in-law, Sam and Phebe, went along and helped build a house. When Mary died five years later, James sold out and lived with his son James. The Pipe Creek Monthly Meeting complained of James, January 16, 1819, for not settling his outside affairs. November 11, 1819, they disowned him. Notes for Mary Ogborn: There is a legend, unverified, that claims Mary's great-grandmother was a daughter of King Adolphus, of Sweden. A brother to James, Caleb FOWLER, of Bartlett, OH, named one of his babies (died at birth) Gustavus Adolphus FOWLER, so that generation probably believed the legend. The related ROCHELLES were raised with a similar account - some ancestor was "in line to the Throne (of some country), but renounced her claim to marry for love." Children of James Fowler and Mary Ogborn are: 4 i. Ales3 Fowler. 5 ii. Elizabeth Fowler. + 6 iii. Rebecca Fowler, died 1860 in Amboy Twp, Hillsdale Co., MI. 7 iv. Sarah Fowler, born December 25, 1785 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co., MD. 8 v. James Fowler, born 1790 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co, MD. + 9 vi. Caleb Fowler, born March 31, 1792 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co., MD; died July 21, 1861 in Bartlett, Washington Co., OH. + 10 vii. Lydia Fowler, born February 25, 1795 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co, MD; died August 15, 1855 in Goshen, Mahoning Co., OH. 11 viii. Joseph Fowler, born August 8, 1796 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co, MD; died February 18, 1886. + 12 ix. Samuel Fowler, born November 27, 1805 in Pipe Creek, Frederick Co, MD; died January 12, 1887 in Amboy Twp, Hillsdale Co., MI.
