Thank you, Vicky, for posting the information on the Daniel & John FOWLER line. I saw some interesting similarities with my FOWLER line but could see no definite connection. I am saving the information for reference. I sure was hoping to find my Lucinda FOWLER or John T. FOWLER as I was reading about all the FOWLERs in your message. They both had AL connections & I have an idea that they had some NC & SC connections as well. The given names in the information you sent seem to match up with my FOWLER / HERRING information too. Your message has prompted me to send my FOWLER query again in hopes someone will have some information on these lines: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vol 227, Lauderdale Co][pg 044][Probate Minutes Book A 1852-1853] Book A, page 423. John Gray, Administrator of John T. Fowler dec'd, filed petition to sell land in Sec. 29 Tp 2 R9W. The following are the heirs at law: William P. Herring, George C. Herring, Mary Isaacs, Francis M. Herring, Arnold M. Herring, Nancy L. Herring, Lucinda S. Herring, Robert T. Fowler, Mahala White, Mary C. Herring and Daniel Pl Fowler. The first four reside in Mississippi and the others in Lauderdale Co., Ala. except Mary C. Herring who resides in Franklin Co., Ala. and Daniel P. Fowler of the State of Texas. Richard B. Baugh is appointed guardian ad litem for the minors named. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucinda FOWLER, married Squire HERRON in 1830 Hall Co GA. 1850 Census of Lauderdale Co AL: p. C-85 - hh # 142 Herin, Squire 40 Unknown Carpenter ", Marmilly 14 AL ", Arnold 9 " ", Nancy 7 " ", Sousannah 4 " (might be Lucinda S.) ", Mary 1 " William P. HERRING is my gg grandfather. William P. HERRING, b. Sept. 11, 1831 in GA, d. June 30, 1905 in MS. His known siblings were: Frances M. HERRING, b. January 1835 in GA, m. Serena B. ROGERS Caroline P. HERRING, b. June 26, 1836 in GA, m. Isaac E. SPARKS Arnold HERRING, b. ca. 1843 in AL Grace C. HERRING, b. ca. 1845 in AL, m. John THORNBERRY Lucinda S. HERRING, b. February 5, 1847 in AL, m. Corbit Miles LANEY Mary C. HERRING, b. ca. 1849 in AL, m. William T. ASHFORD I am trying to find his parents & prior line information. From the above, Squire HERRIN & Lucinda FOWLER look like a possibility. William P. HERRING & his brother, Frances HERRING were old enough to be on their own by 1850 but the rest of the children listed in the census of Lauderdale Co., AL for Squire HERIN have names & birthdates very much like William P. & Frances HERRING's siblings. Since these HERRING children were named heirs at law in the estate of John T. FOWLER per the Lauderdale Co., AL document information shown above, I know there is some connection but can't figure out what. Any information on any of the above people will be very appreciated.
