Posted on: Benton Co. Mo Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/Benton/11027 Surname: FOWLER ------------------------- BENTRON COUNTY, MO. Fowler Family. The Fowlers were one of the leading families, in fact, THE leading family, of the pre Civil War community, with Samuel Fowler being the first. There is a lot of information on the family and I suggest you contact Larry Fowler,106 N. Hickory, Cole Camp, MO 65325. When the Fowler slaves were freed many took the name of Fowler and the one referenced by Alvin was known as Uncle Ky, and was a much beloved individual. My mother recalls that as a child all the kids wanted to walk with him and he would hold their hands. He also became a bank director and built a house - that still stands - in Cole Camp, MO.
