Please add this to John's Bio:
There
has been confusion in the ancestry of several Fowler families and hopefully this
will help clarify.
The wife of the John L. Fowler who is buried in Fowler
Cemetery, Cornersville, TN, was Lucinda Perkins. They were married before 1836
and had a number of children. Two daughters, Elizabeth Duncan (25-Jul-1836 -
25-Mar-1926) and Jane Emerson (2-Oct-1840 – 14-Jan-1929) lived long enough that
Tennessee death certificates with parent names were recorded. Jane Emerson's
death certificate plainly states that her mother was "Lucinda Perkins" and her
father "John L. Fowler". Jane Emerson is buried in Fowler Cemetery near her
parents. The information as posted of the marriage of this John L. Fowler and
Lucinda Perkins on findagrave.com is therefore proven correct. Elizabeth
Duncan's death certificate gives her father's name as "John L. Fowler" and her
mother as simply "Perkins" confirming Jane's information. Elizabeth is buried in
Lewisburg, TN.
What has caused confusion is that a Lewis Fowler (many say
John Lewis Fowler) married a Lucinda Perkins in Pike County, AL, 29-Jun-1836.
However, they lived in Louisiana. He went by the name Lewis Fowler and is
recorded that way in his marriage license and in the census.
The John L.
Fowler who is buried in Fowler Cemetery near Cornersville, TN, lived in Marshall
County, TN. At the same time the Lewis Fowler couple lived in Louisiana. The
censuses for Tennessee and Louisiana from 1850 on verify they are not the same
people. Jane (Fowler) Emerson, daughter of John L. Fowler of Marshall County,
TN, was born less than a month after Lewis Fowler and Lucinda Perkins were
married in Pike County, AL. Dozens if not hundreds of people have assigned the
vital statistics dates of the Marshall County, TN Fowlers to the Louisiana
Fowlers. They obviously are not the same people.
The John L. Fowler who
married Lucinda "Mabary" in 1846 in Marshall County, TN is a totally different
person from the above two John L. Fowlers and can be found living in Coffee
County, TN, in 1870 and 1880. Some of their descendants have also erroneously
assigned the vital statistics of the Marshall County, TN Fowlers to the Coffee
County, TN Fowlers.

Middle name is not Lewis and needs to be
removed. Read last 2 paragraphs on wife Lucinda
memorial.
