== Biography == Richard Fowler, in a July 21, 2014 email, said the John Fowler who married Elizabeth Rackley didn't marry [[Sutton-631|Hannah Sutton]]. Hannah was married to John's cousin, also a John Fowler. Note this information from Richard Fowler:
"About thirty-five years ago when I submitted the DAR application for my sister...I forwarded absolute proof that the Revolutionary Patriot John Fowler, had never been married to Hannah Sutton. "I then received a communication from DAR that my research was correct, that those descendants of Hannah Sutton Fowler, and the other John Fowler, who were in DAR would not be removed, but that the future applications would be denied. According to Richard Fowler, John and Elizabeth (Rackley) Fowler's children included: :John Fowler, Jr. :Sarah Margaret who md. Thomas Cribb (1781-1858) :Annie who married William Sims :Elizabeth (1790-1857) who md. Isaac Simmons (1786-1864) :Lucretia who md. a Stephens :Richard who md. Sallie Stephens :Charlotte who md. Eli Nobles (b. ca 1794) :Amelia Ann (1802-ca1870) Stephen Wright (1800-1852)

He later served under Capt. Alfred Moore and Col. Moore in the First North Carolina Regiment. He also served under Capt. William Vann.

Jeremiah (b. 1761) and Micajah Rackley are also listed in the Duplin (Sampson) Co., NC Revolutionary War Service Records. Related to John Fowler's wife, Elizabeth Rackley? Further research is needed to make sure all these John Fowlers are the same. [http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/b/b/Patsy-J-Abbey/WEBS...
