His children from his first wife:

Andrew Jackson Fowler
William A. Fowler
James A. Fowler
Rebecca Fowler
John E./Elbert Fowler
Baxter W. Fowler
Andrew Jackson Fowler
Elizabeth "Bettie" Melissa Fowler
Daniel R. Fowler
Anderson David Fowler

After the death of his first wife, he then married Charity Daughtery on 11 June 1822 and the children of that union were:

Madison Jones Fowler
Edward Daughtery/Dottrell Fowler
Martha Adaline Fowler
Mary Caroline Fowler
Nancy Lucinda Fowler
Lurana/Luraney Fowler
Chilama Aurena Fowler

He plus other family members are buried in the vicinity of the intersection of Fussy Hill and Hurricane Road. According to a local I met, there was a very old cemetery located near the intersection but has since dissapeared due to new developments (Also matches the description provided to me by a cousin, Mary Geier.).

NOTE from Debbie Lundsford Yates:

The Fowlers were among the first white settlers of Old Tishomingo County, Mississippi. The first settlement was Troy on the Old Reynoldsburg Road near the Tuscumbia River. Troy was eventually renamed Danville. Danville was destroyed by Union troops during the American Civil War. Tishomingo was the name of an Indian chief. The original county seat was Jacinto, named in honor of the Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas won its independence from Mexico and become a Republic (21 April 1836 in a battle that lasted only 18 minutes).


NOTE Mary Geier

As of January 2017, we don't have any knowledge or proof of parents for Baxter Fowler. Nor, do we know the name or ethnicity of his first wife, who he may have married in South Carolina. DNA testing of members of the Baxter Fowler DNA circle do not seem to confirm this suggestion that he was Cherokee. But, it appears that his descendants were mainly European---about 99% so. The only descendants of Baxter Fowler that are mentioned on Indian rolls appear to be those children and grandchildren who moved over into Oklahoma Indian Territory and then were listed as whites who married Indians. Or, they were farming in Indian Territory and were still designated as "white."

So, please check your DNA ethnicity first to see if your DNA matches this description of Baxter Fowler.
