    1. [GEORGIA] Fowler, Williams, Osley, Butler, Vernon, Clarke co., GA
    2. Seeking descendants, relatives, cousins, info, whatever, on children of Kelly Fowler and Sarah Perry, married 14 Sept 1853 in Gwinnett Co., GA. Kelly was the son of Nathan Fowler and Elizabeth Pepper of Gwinnett County. He was killed in Montgomery, AL 8 May 1863 while on courier duty (Civil War). Sarah farmed the girls out to other families in Gwinnett (Chandler, Hutchins, Gossett) by 1870 and took them to Clarke County by 1880 where they all appear to be working in the mill. 1880 Clarke County, GA census, Dist. 16, Puryears, #? ...Fowler, Sarah, self, WF, 49, keeping house, SC, SC, SC, ...Fowler, S.S., dau, WF, 20, works in cotton mill, GA, GA, SC ...Fowler, Nancy, dau, WF, 20, works in cotton mill, GA, GA, SC ...Vernon, Lizzie, dau, WF, 23, works in cotton mill, GA, GA, SC ...Fowler, Mary, dau, WF, 18, works in cotton mill, GA, GA, SC Elizabeth Fowler, (b. abt 1856) married Unknown Vernon, location unknown. Possibly married in Gwinnett. Children unknown. No further info. Samantha Fowler (b. Aug. 1859), married Benjamin P. Williams 23 Aug 1882 in Clarke County. They are found in 1900 in Oconee County, married 19 years, had no children. No further information. Nancy Fowler, also b. 1859 (may be twin to Samantha) married John Osley (b. abt 1856) 18 May 1884 in Clarke County. There is a Nancy Osley buried at Princeton UMC Cemetery, Athens, b. 29 May 1863, d. 11 Nov 1915, which may be her, but birth date is off about 4 years. Not unusual when survivors give info for gravestone. A John Osley, age 64, is found in Harrison, Madison County, GA, in 1920 with a wife, Ida, age 55. He was married first at age 18 and she at 30, so this apparently is a second wife. Think this may be the same John Osley married first to Nancy Fowler. Children unknown. Mary Fowler (b. 1862) married Matthias Boley Davis Butler 6 March 1884 in Clarke County. She died in 1898, supposedly in Atlanta, Fulton Co., GA. Matthias moved to Salt Lake City where he is found in 1900, a widower. They had two known daughters, Delila Ada and Maggie Lee Melissa. Both moved to Salt Lake. Thanks to Sharlene Nicolaides of Salt Lake for a lot of the above information. She is descended from Kelly's daughter, Mary Fowler Butler. I am descended from Kelly Fowler's brother, John Fowler, and his wife, Sarah Ann Norris, who moved from Gwinnett to Campbell County in the 1860s. John died sometime after 1873 and Sarah Ann moved to Cleburne County, Alabama with all her children. Will take anything I can get, share anything I have on the Fowlers and related lines. Kelly's line has been particularly frustrating. Many thanks in advance, Judy Fowler Kilgore Newnan, GA
