Hi Margaret and Gladys: I took my own advice and found that there are quite a few FOWLERS in the Q-R archives. My John Fowler is not the same as your John Fowler. There is also an interesting story about Captain Robert Fowler. Here is what I have: In Belmont County 1850 census in Pease Twp., OH John Fowler, 32, OH Mary, 26, OH Mary, 6, OH William, 4, OH Angeline, 1, OH Syntha Anderson 16, MD In Belmont County, 1860 census in Pultney Twp. John Fowler, 41, VA, occ. Miller, b 1819 Phoeba J. Fowler, 36, OH (1824-1886), d. at 42 yrs old, Bridgeport (or Weeks) Cemetery Mary J. Fowler, 16 OH, b. 1844 William L. Fowler, 14, OH, b. 1846 Angeline Fowler, 11, OH, b. 1849 Albert O. Fowler, 6, OH, b.1854 John R. Fowler, 4, OH, b. 1856 There were also Fowlers living in Harrison County Ohio. There are land patents for John Fowler 1826, 1830, 1831 which I will send for. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/asp/queryOH.asp Also, will be ordering films for records of QUAKER Meetings available on microfilm at Bowling Green State Univ. Also, looking for Duttons (primary line). http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/cac/ms0492.html Carole - -------------------------- Margarett Demick wrote: > > Hi, I find your question of interest but afraid I will be no help.
