| [fowlvill.ged] Elizabeth's mother lived until she was 105 and her father was said to have been a Captain in the War of 1812. Elizabeth was living with her son, John Madison Fowler, when she passed away. She is not mentioned in her husband, Solomon's Last Will and Testament. All that he had went to their youngest son, Park. The other's received one dollar each. Elizabeth Lowrey's sister, Matilda married Bennett Burleson of Denton, Texas. Bennett Webster is named for him. She came from east Tennessee. Elizabeth is buried on the Southwest corner of the old John Madison Fowler home place 2 miles South and 2 1/2 miles East of Tyron, Oklahoma. In "1835 Cherokee Census" compiled by Homer A. Walker (Chicago Library), there were several Lowery's listed. Solly and Arch are named in Hamilton County, Tennessee. In a book "Fowler's Arithmetic - Tennessee Cousins" by Worth S. Ray, Genealogical Publishing Co. 1960 (found in Pineville, MO Library - Ray County, Missouri settled by Cocke County - Tennessee families), mentions that on February 27, 1819, the Hiwassee Purchase was signed by Cherokee Chieftains, one of whom was George Lowery. It also mentions that from Monroe County Josiah Fowler, brother of Abijah Fowler moved to Texas before the Civil War. Also in Hardeman County, it mentions that during the 1820 Joseph Solomon Fowler built a cabin and ferry about 16 miles south of where Bolivar was afterwards located. It was named "Lowery's Ferry". (It was changed to Niles whenever the book was written in the 1800s in Monroe County, Tennessee.) It also mentions that Abijah Fowler, son of Dr. Thorn Fowler "school teacher" married Elizabeth Curtian, daughter of Richard Curtain and they lived in Cocke County (Older Son 1842 William). One of the biggest frustrations is that many ancestors eventually dropped their first names and went by their middle name...and every brother and sister named their children after their brother's and sister's. |
