Mary Naylor (Nailor) Wife of
Benjamin Fowler Sr.
Originally Published March 9, 2005
Update #2 - March 13, 2005 |
Nicholas Naylor (believed to be the brother of Mary Naylor)
was living in Madison, Pike Co., Indiana in 1820 - same township as Thomas
Fowler, son of Zachariah Fowler and Sarah Polke. It is believed that
Zachariah was the brother of Benjamin Fowler (married Mary Naylor).
Nicholas was over age 45 and does not show up in subsequent census
records, so it's possible that he died before 1830. Also there were
several Selby families. Fowlers and Naylors married into the Selby
family in Prince Georges Co, MD and Kentucky. This is further
evidence of the relationship between Zachariah Fowler and Benjamin Fowler.
Also, it is further evidence of the relationship between Mary and Nicholas
Naylor. Clues gathered so far:
1. Nicholas Naylor was listed in the Migrations Project with a
destination of Madison Co, Kentucky along with George Naylor (son of
Batson Naylor). George Naylor died in Madison Co, KY in 1836.
2. Nicholas, Benjamin (son of Batson) and James Naylor were listed on the
1800 Green Co, KY Tax List.
3. Nicholas married Mary Selby in Prince Georges, MD; Benjamin Naylor
married Deborah Selby in Prince Georges, MD; Benjamin Fowler married Mary
Naylor in MD.
4. Nicholas Naylor was in Madison, Pike, Indiana in 1820 as was Thomas
Fowler, probable nephew of Benjamin Fowler.
5. Benjamin Fowler was listed on the 1800 Madison Co, KY Tax List along
with Jeremiah and Joseph Fowler.
6. Nicholas Naylor is listed on the 1783 Tax List of Upper Marlborough,
Prince Georges, MD. Batson Naylor (Junior) is listed on the 1781 Tax
List of Upper Marlborough, Prince Georges, MD. Benjamin Naylor is
listed on the 1785 Tax List of Upper Marlborough, Prince Georges, MD.
Richard and William Fowler (possible first cousins of Benjamin Fowler)
were listed on the 1779 and 1786 Tax List of Upper Marlborough, Prince
Georges, MD.
7. Richard Fowler, son of Jeremiah Fowler and Drucilla Isaac, died
in Madison Co, KY in 1817.
8. Joshua Selby, grandson of William MacGruder Selby, was in
Madison, Pike Co, Indiana in 1820. His uncle, Joshua Wilson Selby
married Sarah Fowler, daughter of Jeremiah Fowler and Drucilla Isaac.
Mary Selby who married Benjamin Fowler was the aunt of Joshua Selby.
9. ANCESTRY.COM MESSAGE BOARD - ADAIR, KY
Searching for Zion Baptist Church records in Adair County, Ky., Glens
Fork, 1802-1896. In response to Bruce Patterson:Bruce, we are related thru
old James Wilson Selby's son, Greenberry Selby (my ancestor) and yours,
Sarah. The other brothers and sisters are Elizabeth, Polly, Joshua, James
Jr., Simeon and Lloyd. These folks came from Prince George County, Md in
1798 (see Green County, Ky land entries). James Wilson Selby's brothers
and sisters are Josiah, Lingan, Jeremiah, Thomas, and Zachariah. James and
all his brothers and father, William Magruder Selby all served in the
Revolutionary War (see Oath of Allegiance, 1776, Muster Roles, Archives of
Maryland, Vol 18). William Magruder Selby died and his widow Martha Wilson
Selby all came to Kentucky (see Adair Co Ky deed regarding Martha
appointing NICHOLAS NAYLOR to sell slaves back in Prince George
County, Md.)
10. Nicholas Naylor (spelled Nalor) was on the 1789 Fayette Co, KY
tax list along with John Fowler. This John Fowler has not been
identified but it is believed he was related to Benjamin Fowler - possibly
a brother.
11. Benjamin Naylor, the son of Batson Naylor and Margaret Fields,
named his son James Nicholas Naylor. He could have given the middle
name Nicholas because he had a cousin named Nicholas.
12. Zachariah Selby, the first cousin of Mary Selby who married Nicholas
Naylor, was listed on the 1807 and 1808 Butler Co, Ohio Tax List.
Butler Co, OH is where Benjamin Fowler and Mary Naylor Fowler lived in
1820. Zachariah was also in Butler Co, OH in 1820 and 1830.
Putting the clues together it appears that Nicholas and Mary Naylor
were closely related to Batson Naylor and Margaret Fields. Nicholas was
not mentioned in the will of Batson Naylor so he may have been a cousin or
nephew.
Nicholas enlisted in the Continental Service of Maryland in the
Revolutionary War along with an Alexander Naylor on Dec. 10, 1776.
Alexander was born about 1756 probably in Maryland. He married
Magdalena Unknown and Mary Mills and had one known son, Samuel, and two
other sons whose first names are not known. It is possible that
Alexander was the brother of Nicholas and Mary. The parents of
Alexander are not known, however, Alexander married Mary Mills in
Frederick, MD, and this is where Isaac Naylor and Barbara Goodman were
married a few years earlier. Isaac's parents were George Naylor and
Vilanda Isaac. It is believed that Vilanda Isaac was the sister of
Drucilla Isaac who married Jeremiah Fowler (relative of Benjamin Fowler).
It is quite likely that Alexander, Nicholas and Mary were
children of George Naylor and Vilanda Isaac.

Update #1 - March 11, 2005 |
It has been learned that the son
of Batson Naylor and Margaret Fields - George Naylor - was in Madison Co,
Kentucky at about the same time that Benjamin Fowler was there (between
1801 and 1810). George was in Mason Co, Kentucky in 1800 along with
John and James Fowler. George Naylor married Susannah. Susannah's
maiden was possibly Chapman. Their children include:
George Naylor, married Jane (Rosa Ann) Newcomb
Susannah, married William Turner
Thomas Chapman Naylor, born ca 1773, married Rosanna Spencer and Jane
Edward B. Naylor, born ca 1778 in Maryland, married Jane Ballard
Elizabeth Naylor, married George Carroll
Edward B. Naylor went to Garrard County, Kentucky. He and his
wife, Jane, were located in the 1850 Federal Census living there.
Their son, Edward L. Naylor, was in Garrard County, Kentucky living next
to them in 1850, along with his wife Jane and their children: Alen, Will
E., Daniel, John, Margaret, Mary E, George N. and Elizabeth S.
Drucilla Fowler, daughter of Jeremiah Fowler and Drucilla Isaac,
married Lingan Wilson Selby, son of William Macgruder Selby and Martha
Wilson. Lingan's sister Mary, married Nicholas Naylor born ca. 1760.
Benjamin Fowler married Mary Naylor b. ca 1765. It is likely that
Nicholas Naylor was a brother of Mary Naylor and Drucilla Fowler was
closely related to Benjamin Fowler.
The parents of Nicholas Naylor are not known but it is likely he was
related to George Naylor. Nicholas was on the 1800 Green Co,
Kentucky Tax List along with Benjamin Naylor and James Naylor.
Nicholas was listed on early
census/tax records of Prince Georges Co, Maryland along with Batson Jr.,
Benjamin, James, Joshua, Margaret, Mary and Susannah (see below).

Research Notes |
Recently a message board posting
was found that provided a clue to the name of Benjamin Fowler's wife.
She was Mary Naylor born about 1765/68 probably in Maryland. Her
parents have not been identified but it is believed she was a descendant
of James Naylor and Ann Jones. In 1790 James Naylor's son, George (m. Valinda
Isaac) was living in Patapsco Lower Hundred, Baltimore, MD. Also there
were many other members of the Naylor family and three sons of Jeremiah
Fowler and Drucilla Isaac (Richard, Isaac and Thomas), and Zachariah
Fowler, believed to be the brother of Benjamin Fowler. Benjamin and
Mary have not been located in the 1790 census but it is believed they were
living in Anne Arundel County, MD with his mother Hammutal Stinchcomb
Fowler.
