I am new to this list and am looking for my ggg-grandparents, Abel FOWLER and Mary EDDY. Abel was born in RI abt. 1781, but was probably in NY state by 1800 (?). Married Mary Eddy in Fairfield (?) abt. 1808. Their first son, Anson Fowler, was born Feb. 1809 in Fairfield. I have no other info about them in this time frame. By 1820 census, family was in Genessee County. Abel allegedly found in the War of 1812 at "Battle of Plattsburg" - would there be a connection between the Herkimer County location and this battle? Would very much appreciate any help. Judy Usher in FL
