Thank you so very, very much for this information! Let me see if I can remember the lineage. I recently moved and our house is still in the construction process, so I do not have my computer up and running. I will try to piece from memory and will get a better version from my mother. Tonya Thompson Robert Thompson Thomas Gilbert Thompson Jo Annie Hudson (m Henry Prelo Thompson) Ella J. Fowler (m Pleasant Hudson 2nd marriage) John Fowler Alexander Fowler Archibald Fowler This is the basic from what I can remember. Thank so much again!

The minutes of Brushy Creek Church were taken from either the film or a printed transcription. Spelling is the way it was done originally. I would also like to know your line. I also like finding new cousins. Marion Smith Whiting Father of Archie has not been proven. Greenville County Records show that Archibald Fowler purchased 840 acres of land on Laurel Creek, on the north side of Reedy River, in Greenville County. This land was bounded by the land of Emanuel Austin and John Goodwin. This deed was recorded January 8, 1793, and signed by James Kilgore. In the will of Archibald Fowler, dated February 22, 1839 in Greenville County, South Carolina, he mentions his wife Edy, his daughter Jessify Pike, deceased, and her six children. David Fowler was the administrator. W.B.B., Page 180-181. All of his children were mentioned in the will except Luna. Jul. 6, 1797 George Underwood and Sarah Underwood (Greenville Co) to Archd. Fowler (same); for [blank] sterling sold 170 ac on Laurel Cr of Reedy R; border: joins Wadsworth, Geo Underwood, & Batte Birdsong; granted Nov. 5, 1792 by Gov. Charles Pinckney to "said" Underwood.

This was a committee from Brushy Creek Church. The following is from " Everhart - Miller and Allied Families" by Mrs. Allie Everhart Miller and is found on page 173-175. We know he had a good education for the time in which he lived. In person tall, bony and inclined to stoop a little, blue eyes, rather dark hair and sallow complexion. Full six feet height. He was deliberate in motion and thought. He never used an unguarded expression but seemed to weigh well his words before giving utterance to his thoughts. He was a frequent reader of the Bible and a regular attendant on religious worship, but was not a church member at his death. He was inclined to the Baptist Denomination, strictly honest and truthful. He not only practiced these virtues himself, but succeeded well in implanting these principles in the hearts and lives of his children. Archie and Edy were poor when first married but by the characteristics peculiar to both of them (Archie and Edy) industry, perseverance and economy, they accumulated considerable means and were as well off in this world's goods as any in that vicinity. >From Greenville Co., SC Deed Book G: 2342.
