Fowler and Augustus Whitlow were my g/grandparents. David Augustus Fitzellen Whitlow, b. 1850, d. 1907., was married to Margaret C. Fowler, b. 1856, d. 1947. The marriage record was recorded as follows: A. F. Whitlow married to Maggie Fowler with the license being obtained and the marriage occurring on the same date, 8 January 1880. Witnesses: A. F. Whitlow and E. D. Alexander. Official: D. A. Baxter, J. P. Augustus, "Gus" was born on the family farm at his father's residence which was located where the old Savannah-Carrolsville Road crosses Indian Creek near the confluence of Whitlow and Indian Creeks. The Whitlow family had settled at that particular site because Gus' grandfather, Henderson Whitlow was a miller and gin man and operated a water mill and a cotton gin at this site. The first mill in Hardin County operated by Henry Garner and the first cotton gin in the county operated by Harrison Tompkins were located on what was eventually to become the Whitlow farm. Henderson Whitlow eventually took over the operation of the above mentioned facilities. After Gus' grandfather died in 1841, his father, Milton, continued the family business and over the next 40 years established a large farm operation which eventually included more that 800 acres on both sides of Indian Creek near where Popular Springs road now crosses said creek. Being born in 1850, Gus was too young to fight in the Civil War. His allegiances were not known, however as with the young men of his age, he may have leaned to the Union side. His oldest brother, Oscar Edwin, and brother-in-law, G. W. Blackwelder, joined the Confederate army in 1861 and wee both dead within three months. In 1863, a second brother, Granville, joined the Union Army and was stationed with the 2nd Mounted Infantry at Clifton Tennessee. This change of allegiance may have been brought about by the fall of Shiloh which brought Hardin County under Union Control very early in the war. He may have been influenced by his brother-in-law, Samuel R. Allen, who was surely pro-union with sons being named Sherman and Grant. In 1870 Milton Whitlow died and Gus became the head of household at the age of 19. Living there also was an older sister, Emily, a younger sister, Amanda, and a younger brother, James Buchannon, who was an invalid as the result of a fall from a horse. The 1870 census of the 14th Civil District of Hardin County shows this household and others of his family as follows: 73 Augustus Whitlow 19 TN Emily 26 TN Amanda 15 TN Buckhanon 12 TN 68 Granville Whitlow 24 TN Calista 24 TN George Blackwelder 8 TN 71 Lewis Owens 28 TN Sally (Whitlow) 28 TN Martha 9 TN William 5 TN Amos Duckworth 34 72 Samuel Allen 39 KY Harriet (Whitlow) 35 TN Milton 11 TN Sally 6 TN Sherman 4 TN Grant 1 TN In the 2nd Civil district 01 M. J. Whitlow 21 TN Sarah W. (Alexander) 18 TN 03 Margaret W. Polk Whitlow age 49 is shown living with here son-in-law, James C. Wells. Margaret was the widow of Thomas A. Polk who had married Milton Whitlow shortly before he died in 1870. The next decade saw many changes in the family On the 8th of January 1880, Gus married Margaret Catherine Fowler, the daughter of Sterling and Eliza Bain Fowler of the Mt. Herman community. In 1870, Amanda Whitlow married Perviance Alexander and they moved to llinois where their oldest child, Florence, was born in 1871. However, they moved back to Tennessee in 1874 where their two sons, Oscar and Uley T., were born. Also, in about the year 1870, Emily Whitlow married Amos Duckworth. In about 1880, Samuel R. Allen and wife, Harriet Whitlow Allen, moved across the Tennessee River to the Hookers Bend Community and about a year or so later, Milton J. Whitlow and Winnie Alexander Whitlow moved to Arkansas.

Gus and a partner, perhaps a relative, established a store at Wells Landing on the Tennessee River. The business failed, the partner skipped and Gus was was left to pay the debt which was done. Between 1880 and 1890, Gus and Maggie had 6 children, 5 of which live to adulthood. In order they were: Nora, b. Oct. 1880; Otis, b. Sept. 1882; Ulva, b. Nov. 1884; Wheeler, b. July 1886; Charley, b. Oct., 1, 1889; and Charley's twin, Barney who survived birth by about a month, died Nov. 1, 1889 and is buried at Harmony Cemetery. Gus and his family lived at Cross Roads until 1900 at which time they sold their property there and moved to a 300 acre farm on Turkey Creek located about 4 miles east of Savannah. When Gus sold out at Cross Roads, he excluded from the sale a one acre tract to be used by the community for a School. The site today is used by the Union Church, the school being abandoned many years ago. Gus did not live long on his Turkey Creek farm. In 1907 he died from complications of heart disease leaving his widow and children to run the family farm. The oldest child Nora, born 01 October 1880, died 09 August 1965, attended Freed Hardeman College, and was a school teacher in the Porters Community. She was married six times. The names of here husbands were: Levin Banks, David Jerome Porter, Hardeman Perkins, John Hoover, W. Gentry Hester, and Dr. Sam Noel. Aunt Nora did not have any children. The oldest son, Otis, born in September 1882, attended Freed Hardeman College and Vanderbilt University, became a Doctor and had a practice at Cerro Gordo and then Savannah in Hardin County until his death in 1956. About the time he began pratcice, he married Mamie Callens, born 1889, died 1991. They built a white frame house at Cerro Gordo which is now owned by Clytie Fitts Jennings, a second cousin of Dr. Whitlow. Uncle Otis and Aunt Mamie moved from Cerro Gordo to a house on the family farm on Turkey Creek in the teens. They had children named as follows: Raymond, Murray, unnamed son, Barney, Gus, Martha and Margaret. Ulva Whitlow was the third child born in November of 1884. Ulva was married to Thella Hitchcock, born 1888, died 1955. The couple had 5 children: Hubert, Alton, Glenn, unnamed daughter, and Ancil Whitlow. Uncle Ulva was a farmer, worked as a clerk in Hughes' store and in later years became active in local politics. He served as the Hardin County Court Clerk for several years before his death in 1951. Child number 4, Wheeler Whitlow, born in July of 1886, died 29 may 1925, was married to Belle Paulk. Uncle Wheeler, at a very young age, became ill and was not able to work on the farm. The family built a store south of the Old Town Road about 100 yards east of the Old Whitlow home place which was run by Uncle Wheeler until his death. After Wheeler's death, Aunt Belle moved to Savannah where she was a school teacher for many years. They had children named as follows: Unnamed son, Delia, unnamed daughter, and Fanny Whitlow. Twins were born to Gus and Maggie on October 1, 1889. Charley A. and Barney L. Whitlow. Barney died on November 1, 1889. Charley Augustus, born 01 October 1889 and died 20 November 1873, was a soldier in World War I, spending time in France. After the war, he was married to Elzie Mackie Reynolds, born 13 January 1898 and died 31 Dec.1988. Their children were: Mable who married Burnace Cagle (my parents); Ollie who married Lowell Cagle; Wheeler Milton who married Janice Graham; and Ruby who married Max Seaton. Charley was a Presbyterian, a republican, a sawmiller, a school teacher one year in the 1920's, and a farmer. He was born at Cerro Gordo in 1889 and moved to the Turkey Creek Farm with his parents in 1900 and lived there the next 73 years. It appears that the Whitlow experience in America began with John Whitlow, an indentured servant, on the Rappahannock River in east central Virginia in 1650. John and his family moved south to the Henrico County Virginia area near Richmond by the early 1700's and remained in that area for about 75 years, the line running, John, William, William and William. The migration continues as Whitlows moved to the southern counties of Virginia and the northern Counties of North Carolina. Our ancestor next in line, Darby Whitlow, in about 1778 went to North Carolina, but settled in Charlotte County Virginia in the 1780's. Between 1790 and 1810, Darbey's son, Henderson Whitlow, moved to Laurens County South Carolina. By 1820, Henderson was in Hardin County Tennessee where many of his descendants remain, while others scattered to Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere. The latest directory handed out by Ma Bell lists 11 Whitlow families living in Hardin County ! Tenn! essee today, September 10, 1997. If we have all the generations, my line runs: John, William, William, William, Darby, Henderson, Milton, Augustus, Charley, Mable Whitlow Cagle, David Cagle. ----- Original Message ----- From: jkbain To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 8:43 PM Subject: Eliza Bain & Cagle Connection David listed below is what I have on the Fowlers.
