Subject: NATHAN DAVIS/SOUTH CAROLINA From: Davis1624 Date: August 01, 1999 Greetings, I have,for many years, been researching my great great grandfather, NATHAN DAVIS, (1786 - ?) who's son was named LEVI FOWLER DAVIS (1819 - 1888) NATHAN DAVIS was first located by this researcher in Lauderdale County Alabama. NATHAN was there from about 1821 until about 1842,when he moved to Desoto Co. Mississippi. Family legend has NATHAN coming from South Carolina, but I have never been able to locate the place of his birth or who his parents were. I offer the following information in hopes of finding additional information about Nathan Davis. These are assumptions only: Nathan was married to EMILY FOWLER in South Carolina EMILY FOWLER was the child of MARTHA O. FOWLER and her husband LEVI FOWLER. MARTHA O. FOWLER came to Lauderdale County Alabama with her daughter Emily and her son-in-law NATHAN. EMILY FOWLER DAVIS died about 1819 at the birth or complications from the birth of her son LEVI FOWLER DAVIS. Her mother MARTHA FOWLER, and Nathan's 2nd wife, EMILY McCLUSTER (McALLISTER) raised LEVI FOWLER DAVIS LEVI FOWLER DAVIS married NANCY GERMAN in Monroe County Mississippi in 1841. Facts: MARTHA O. FOWLER has a headstone in the WESLEY CHAPLE Methodist church cemetery, in Lauderdale Co. Alabama, which says "MARTHA O. FOWLER, wife of LEVI FOWLER" and her birth date: 6 May 1769 and her death date: 11 July 1841 but there is no headstone for LEVI FOWLER. Also buried in WESLEY CHAPEL cemetery is ELIJAH FOWLER (1811 - 1862) & wife MARY, their son RICHARD D. FOWLER(1848 - 1860), and LEOLA FOWLER (1867 - ?) In the same WESLEY CHAPLE cemetery is a stone for a LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER (3 August 1841 - 28 February 1935) and MARY E. (1843 - 1920), wife of LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER. Their children were at least LEOLA E. FOWLER and WILEY F. FOWLER. The age of MARTHA O. FOWLER at her death date would indicate that she was not the mother of LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER, but the coincidence of the names might indicate a relation. If anyone can offer additional information it would be appreciated.
