Could this be the same John Fowler? - Probably not but may be related.
Carey A. Fowler, farmer; P. O. Troy. Carey A. Fowler is one of our prosperous farmers, and his standing in the community gives him a place in the front rank. His parents, John D. and Nancy Fowler, emigrated from Wabash, Indiana, and settled upon the quarter section now occupied by Carey, in 1835. John was a native of Pennsylvania, but came to Brown County, Ohio, in 1804; Nancy Fowler was born in Brown County, and they were married, probably, in 1821, and afterward moved to Kentucky; again removed to Wabash, Indiana. He was rather peripatetic, but nevertheless managed to keep about all he ever owned. Game was plenty in those days, and many of the settlers depended upon the supplies derived from this source for sustenance. The Temperance Crusade was then a thing unthought of, and whisky was almost as common as water; Carey was the exceptional boy who never partook of the beverage, and the old men really feared that his constitution would give way, did he not drink; but nearly all of those are gone that indulged so freely; Carey is as ardently opposed to tippling, as during his youthful days. Athletic sports were much indulged in during the early settlement of the country, and prowess, rather than intellect, was in favor. His first school teacher was Co L. Westlake, and his first writing desk, a slab laid upon pegs driven into the logs. Teachers all knew how to handle the birch to perfection. Carey was wedded to Miss Mary E. Murphy, Sept. 21, 1851. After a brief wedding tour, they settled on the farm up on which they now live, and where their children were born. Two sons -- Frederick W. and Ulysses S. Grant; two daughters, Viola E. and Eldora M. Frederick is the husband of Miss Sarah E. Frazier and resides on the Fowler homestead. Eldora M. is the wife of Charles Throckmorton, and resides in Brown Township. Ulysses S. is still continuing his studies, developing into a promising man. John D. Fowler was elected Justice in 1851, and removed to Troy. Carey purchased the land of him, and subsequently another 80 adjoining. He also owns property in Troy. His farm is one of the finest in the neighborhood, and has two of the finest orchards upon it, perhaps, in the township. His residence is a commanding one, and the barns and out-buildings large and well kept. He superintends his farm; works, or not, as he pleases; but devotes much of his time to reading. His library is a very good one, and constantly increasing. He is a Liberal Theologian. and a sound Republican, and for years has been Master of Troy Grange, and sets great store by this order, in which he has enjoyed great distinction. He has great faith in its moral, social, and intellectual development. John D., the father of Carey, died in March, 1871, and his mother, in 1876; they are lying side by side in Rosehill Cemetery.

Sex: F
Birth: Abt 1822 , , Ohio
Parents:
Father: Samuel CARSON (AFN: X3P9-QC)
Mother: Leah LOWRY (AFN: X3P9-RJ)
Probably not our Nancy because this family had no females her age in 1830 census

Although it has been passed down through the family that Nancy was related to Kit Carson, no connection has been found. Kit Carson's family lived in North Carolina, Kentucky and Howard County Missouri and, as far as I can tell, only one member of that family was in Butler Co, OH - Joseph Harvey Linn Carson was there in 1803 - his son Abner was born in Butler, OH in 1803. Abner was found in the 1830 census living in Union, Butler, OH. Joseph, his father, was not there, but a Joseph Carson was found in Wheeling, Belmont, OH, and he was the right age and had 2 unidentified females age 15-20 in his household. One of them could have been Nancy. Joseph's first wife, Mary Henderson, died before 1805 and Joseph remarried to Mary Leonard. Joseph and Mary Henderson had a daughter Nancy born in 1801 - she married Morgan Roop. Therefore, he has been ruled out as the possible father of our Nancy because it is unlikely that he would name another daughter "Nancy". Joseph Harvey Linn Carson did have a brother named William who was born Aug 6, 1785 in Bedford, Virginia. No information is known about him and there were several William Carsons in Butler Co, OH at the time of Nancy's birth and marriage. It is possible that Nancy was the daughter of Joseph's brother William, but there were too many William Carsons in the census records to determine which one he might be - if at all. It's also possible that her father was related to Joseph and died before her marriage - she may have been one of those unidentified 15-20 year-old females in his household in 1830 - about 4 yrs before her marriage.

We know that Clara Lucille Fowler (Benjamin's gr-daughter) married Ira Lee Branson in Taos, New Mexico, the home of Kit Carson, in 1898. Living there in 1900 was the family of Henry Smith Stevens who was married to Benjamin Fowler's daughter, Hannah Ann Fowler.

Another coincidence has recently been discovered. In 1850 Kit Carson's older brother, Robert, was living in Sonoma County, California. In 1860 Kit's younger brother, Lindsey, was living in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California and so was Robert. They and their descendants remained in that general are until at least 1880 and some of them probably beyond 1900. This is where Ira and Clara Branson settled and lived for many years. Ira Lee Branson, became the County Roadmaster for that county between 1910 and 1914. Kit Carson's relatives circulated in Missouri, New Mexico and Colorado prior to the 1900's and so did the Fowlers, the Bransons and the Stevens. We simply don't know if there was some connection - other than perhaps a friendship between these families. The fact that Clara Fowler was married in Taos, NM where Kit Carson was reknowned, lived in Colorado where he circulated - and the fact that two of his brothers were in Sonoma County, California before Ira and Clara moved there - may add up to just a huge coincidence - or not! Ira played a role in making improvements to offshoots of the Sante Fe Trail prior to 1910. This trail was used extensively by travelers going south.

Email from descendant:
I am writing to you, in the moment, in a state of shock. I have been desperately searching for ancestry on my mother's side of the family. My GG Grandfather is James C. Fowler born in Brown County Ohio, 11 February, 1818. He married Eliza R. Davidson on 3 April 1851. She was born 27 December 1831. Nobody on my mom's side of the family had anything further back than James C. Fowler. I have info on his descendants. I also have his exact date of death as 12 January 1896, in Valley Falls, Jefferson County, Kansas. I also have pictures of their grave sites. Any more infor that you could send to me would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed that your email addy is oregongal, I was born and raised in Roseburg, Oregon.
Thanks for your help.
