Re: Fowler cousins
There ia a document at the Forsyth County Court House filed by Elizabeth Fowler, widow of Aaron Fowler dated 20 May 1855 where she list the minor children (Sarah Susannah, Nathaniel Meers, Mathew Callaway, Martha Armind?, Elizabeth Irena) and asking for pension from her husbands service to the Florida War.
There are several documents and regiments and dates are a little confusing to me because of the handwritting on some however In his service document it states that he appears on the Mustered Out Roll dated the 7th of May, 1838, Camp Cell, Hall County, GA. He joined as a private of Capt. Montgomery's Company of GA Mountes Volunteer on 5 Oct 1837 in Hall Co. GA. He mustered in the 28 Dec 1837 and placed at Fort White, FL then there is listed a Regiment of Col. Elijah W Chastian.
"Fowler, Aaron, Montgomery Co., Wilson's Batt'n, Georgia Mtd. Vols. Florida War, Private, Card Number 12428466, 12428528"
He returned home in a wagon from Florida where he contined to suffer with "dropsy of the chest". He lived with his wife and children in Cherokee County GA until his death (5th of Oct 1844) at the home of Stephen Bates. He died of general debiliy (?) supposed to have been caused by exposure while in the time of his duty in the service. Dr John Bates was his physician at the time of death.
It is stated they married in Pendleton District, SC on the 8th of Feb 1821 however there is to be no other record of said marriage. However, for the purpose of proof, a witness had signed an affidative. At that time of the application for pension, she was residing in Forsyth County however they had lived in Rabun County GA previous.
On the 15 of May 1868 at the age of 71 yrs. Elizabeth returns for an increase of pension. She is a resident of Forsyth Co, GA. She was awarded $8.00 from her original $3.50
All information above is from written documents filed at the Cummin, Forsyth Co, GA Court House. They are the words of Elizabeth Fowler and public officials making record of said documents.
I hope this helps some of you researching Aaron and Elizabeth Fowler.
The Fowler Cemetary you are speaking of exist. Their are only about 3 legable tombstones and W B and his wife is one. Elizabeth is suppose to be buried there however, we do not know where her marker is for many of them that still exist are just little field stones (rocks). I have a picture of the cemetary and tombstone and will be happy to scan and email to anyone that request it. It will be on my site as soon as I can get it back online.
The Forsyth Co and Cherokee Co Fowler's are related. I have a full chart joining these familes which are massive but will get back online.
As for Aaron's brother, I have been researching a Moses, b- 1799 SC who was married to Mary (Park) b 1798 SC. With the following children 1. John M who married Delila (Vaughn), 2. Andrew, 3. William, 4. Nancy E who married 1st J P Hutchins and 2nd John Stuart, 5. Basheba E and 6. Susan. Trying to make the connection there.
I am going to add another post since this is so long and want to speak of Charles B Fowler because this is also part of my lineage interest.
I do hope ya'll found this of interest and help.
Best Wishes,
Janis
