Marcia - I found some connections between the Duvalls and the Fowlers in Darke OH which is near Butler OH. A Hezekiah Fowler married Isabella Duvall April 10 1821 in Darke Co, OH. He was born abt 1785 in MD. She was born abt 1800 in PA. Further research revealed that Isabella's father was Daniel Duvall who may have been in Prince George, MD in 1790 - an older Daniel was there with one young male (see below). Her father was in Springhill Fayette, PA in 1800 and 1810 and Darke Co, OH in 1820. Isn't Springhill the same town that John D. Fowler was in? I think Hezekiah was a descendant of Thomas Fowler and Susanna Iiams. Others listed in Prince Geo MD in 1790 included Thomas, William, Joseph, Samuel and Abraham. Thomas Sr. died in that county. His sons were William, Thomas, John, Benjamin, Samuel, Jeremiah and Benoni. I think some of those Fowlers on the Oath of Fidelity list of 1778 were his descendants.
Hezekiah Fowler may have been a son of one of the Fowlers in Fayette PA in 1800-1810 since he married the daughter of Daniel Duvall who was in Fayette PA when his son Harden was born there in 1813. This doesn't mean Hezekiah was also there, but it's a good possiblity. A Thomas Fowler with 2 young males was on the 1790 Prince Geo MD list (gone in 1800) and 2 Thomas Fowlers were in Fayette PA in 1800 but neither had sons the right age. A Thomas Fowler was also in Darke OH in 1820 age 45+ along with a John Fowler age 26-45 and Daniel Fowler b. in MD abt. 1793. Although the 1800 profile for Thomas shows 1 male 0-5 and 3 males 5-10, he may be the one who was in Darke OH in 1820 and the father of Hezekiah, John and Daniel - the ages may be off a few years or the 1800 census may have errors.
Of those who were born in MD still living in 1850 Ohio - I compiled a list below. There were several Johns. Another interesting list would be those who were born in PA between 1800 and 1819 and went to OH. I'll do that one next.
Lots of analyzing and guessing going on, but one thing leads to another - or at least helps to rule people out. I have a feeling Hezekiah, Daniel, John and Thomas of Darke OH were related to one or both of the Fowlers you and I are researching.
