I have wondered if he might be father or older brother, maybe the land was a military land grant for the father and maybe John & Jackson had been minors at the time their father died. I don't know. I never saw Robert Fowler on a Census record that I know about. I am just as lost as a goose on this family who just moved at the drop of a hat and played fast and loose with giving information to the census taker, the places of birth vary and so do the dates of birth. It appears that the wife of John C. Fowler, Olivia Heath, came from a family who lived around the area of Nicholas Co. KY it could be that they came to MO together. My John C. Fowler did not seem to think beans about moving from one state to another back in the 1800s, hopping around like the jet set but I doubt if they had money. If you ever discover you are connected to John C. and Jackson Fowler please let me know and I will keep an eye out for yours also. Thanks Charlene
