Hi Gladys, I am also not having luck with my Fowler's in Harrison Co., Ohio, supposedly moved from Virginia. My grandfather married Minnie DeValut, a daughter of Mary Jane Fowler and Jesse DeVault. The DeVault's and the Duttons were Quakers, so, maybe the Fowler's were Quakers, too. Maybe, you can ask the folks at Quaker-Roots-L to do a lookup in Hinshaw's to see if your Fowlers are in there; although, I am told that Hinshaw died before he could do all the Quakers. Also, I have been told that the Quakers tended to move around together. I found this in the Q-R archives, "Micajah Bailey and their families migrated to be followed soon by many others. Practically every male emigrant before he left Virginia had suffered persecution from fines and seizures, showing the immediate source of pressure that drove these men and women westward. The persecutions during and following the War of 1812 only served to hasten the exodus. By 1832 Quakerism had almost vanished from Southside Virginia." There is Hinshaw's Encyclopedia. There is the Quaker-Roots mail list archives. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=QUAKER-ROOTS and you can post questions on the LIST itself.
