He embarked with his family, in the " Mary and John," of London, Robert Sayres, master, and while lying in the river Thames, they " were made stay of untill further order" from the Council, 28 Feb., 1633-4, owing to misrepresentation of the colonies, by its enemies, which had then reached England, and the master was required, among other things, to give a bond of £100, that the service of the Church of England should be said daily on board, and attended by the passengers, also that they should take the "Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacie," which were taken by the passengers, the 24th of March, 1633-4, when they were allowed to proceed on their voyage, and arrived in New England, in May, 1634.

  • ' In 1659 (30 August) Mary, wife of Philip Fowler, and the mother of his children, died.
  • ' She was probably Mary Winsley, or Winslow, as sometimes called, the sister of Samuel Winsley, a grantee with Bradstreet, Dudley, and others, of Colchester 1638, and an early settler of Salisbury. He was made freeman, 22 May, 1639. Represented Salisbury, in the General Court, 1642, 1645, 1653, died 2 June, 1663. Two of the sons of Philip Fowler, Samuel and Thomas, settled near him in Salisbury and Amesbury and his son Samuel Winsley, left property to the children of Samuel Fowler above, and calls him cousin. and there was a family connection between his son Nathaniel Winsley's wife, and Philip Fowler's family.

  • He entered soon after into the following marriage contract : —
  • In 1659-60 (27 February) Philip Fowler married, second, Mary, the widow of George Norton, who was undoubtedly the Mr. Norton, who came in the fleet with Higginson from London, April, 1629, and was sent by the company in England as a carpenter, and to receive a kind reception from the authorities of the plantation. Some of his work now remains in Salem, in the old First Church, which he was employed to build in 1634, for £100, which has been preserved by the Essex Institute, and placed in the rear of that Institution.

  • The known history of the Fowler family extends backward nearly three hundred years from the present time. It was founded very early in the new colony of Massachusetts, and has many worthy descendants scattered over the United States at the present time. In days when men were taking surnames, those of many were indicated by their occupation. The fowler or huntsman was an important personage in the suite of every gentleman of the olden times. The Fowler coat-of-arms is described : Azure on a chevron between three lions passant guardant or as many crosses formee sable. Crest : An owl argent ducally gorged or.
  • ' (I) Philip Fowler, a cloth worker, was born somewhere between 1591 and 1598, in England, presumably at Marlborough, Wiltshire, where his eldest child was baptized in 1615. He sailed from Southampton, England, in the ship "Mary and John," after having subscribed to the oath there March 24, 1634. Owing to the misrepresentation of the activities and intentions of the colonists in New England, ships sailing thither were subjected at that time to a rigid scrutiny. The passengers were compelled to take the "oathes of allegiance and supremacie" and the master was required to give bond to perform the services of the Church of England during the voyage. The "Mary and John" arrived in New England in May, and Philip Fowler was admitted a freeman September 3, 1634, and before the close of that year was settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He died there June 24, 1679, and his grandson, Philip Fowler, was appointed administrator of his estate. He married (first) Mary Winsley, who died August 30, 1659, in Ipswich ; (second) February 27, 1660, Mary, widow of George Norton. Children : Margaret, baptized May 25, 1615, at Marlborough, Wiltshire, England; Mary, married William Chandler, of Newbury, and died 1666; Samuel, mentioned below; Hester, married (first) Jathnell Bird, (second) Ezra Rolfe, (third) Robert Collins; Joseph, born about 1622, in England; Thomas, about 1636, in Ipswich.
