Andrew Fowler was a blind man, a farmer, and the father of a large number of children. He was born about 1804, possibly a son of John Fowler "the Elder" and Fannie.

John Fowler.  Who was he and what do we know about him? John Fowler was born circa 1755 in Virginia, probably a son of Godfrey Fowler and brother to Henry Ellis Fowler.  DNA testing of John Fowler's documented male descendants has proven beyond all doubt that he was of the same Fowler family. He was…

There are many misconceptions out there in "family research land" about William Fowler married to Rhoda. I browse through the many on-line Fowler family trees and see that my fellow Fowler researchers are confused. I was too, once.

The first document, with reference to John, found in my research was Ephraim's will of 1822.  John is listed as one…

I recently ran across a document dated January 22, 1861 from the Union District, SC Legislative Committee.  The report was a rejection of a petition from the District's Commissioners of Roads who had requested a share of the official bond of Union District Tax Collector G.H. Fowler.  It was thought that G.H. Fowler had absconded…

    The Thomas Gillman Fowler home just outside of Jonesville, SC was built circa 1840. From records found in the family bible, Elijah T. Fowler was born August 13, 1830 -- a son of Thomas Gillman Fowler and Susannah Hames.  He may be one of the young boys in the photograph above. Elijah was…

I lived, for several years of my childhood, in the house next to the Webber/Haile Cemetery in Jonesville, SC.  My brother and I spent more hours than I care to count playing among the headstones of the dearly departed. I have many memories of the graveyard next door to my childhood home: my brother on…
