I am working with a friend who does not have internet- Her name is Louise Watkins Rollins-Her grandfather was John Horton Fowler, born July 10, 1870 in Cooke Co., Texas.The family went to Carter Co., Chickasaw Indian Nation, Okla. before 1902 as that is when he married Launa Irwin.Louse feels the family came from Ga. or Ala.(parents) There was a big migration from Ga. and Ala. to Texas around 1870.Will keep your info and could be there is a connection.
