ACCORDING TO THE FOWLER GENEALOGY PHILIP MARRIED TWICE, BOTH NAMED MARY, 1ST WIFE MARY WINSLEY/WINSLOW IN ENGLAND, SHE DIED 1659 (30 August) AND THE 2ND MARY, WIDOW OF GEORGE NORTON IN 1659-60 (27 February).

Philip Fowler (1), the immigrant ancestor of Samuel Fowler, of Northbridge, Massachusetts, came from England in the ship Mary and John, sailing March 24, 1633. He lived in Marlboro, Wiltshire, England, where presumably he was born. The master of the ship, Captain Robert Sayres, was delayed by the king's officer but was finally allowed to sail upon his giving a bond of a hundred pounds to guarantee that service of the Church of England should be said on board ship daily, and attended by the passengers, and that his passengers should take the oath of allegiance and supremacy.

The Mary and John arrived in New England, May, 1634, and Fowler with others settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was a cloth worker by trade.

He was admitted a freeman, September 3, 1634.

He deposed in court, February 28, 1671, that his age was above eighty years. Therefore he was probably born about 1585-90.

He had a grant of land, January 5, 1634/35, and more January 26, of the same year. He drew and purchased numerous lots afterward.

He served on the jury March 29, 1642 and on the grand jury September 29, 1657, was highway surveyor 1649-55-56-57, and surveyor of fences 1662.

In 1651 he adopted Philip Fowler 1648-1716 {his three-year-old grandson}, who was the child of . . . son Joseph Fowler and wife Martha.

Philip Fowler's first wife Mary died August 30, 1659. She was probably Mary Winslow, sister of Samuel Winslow, a grantee with Bradstreet, Dudley and others, of Colchester, in 1638, and an early settler of Salisbury. Winslow was admitted a freeman May 22, 1639, was deputy to the general court 164245-53- He died June 2, 1663.

Philip Fowler married (2nd), Mary Norton, widow of George Norton, who came with the fleet of Higginson from London, April, 1629, a carpenter, who built the old first church (preserved by the Essex Institute) at Salem, 1634, for one hundred pounds.

He died June 24, 1679, in Ipswich, and administration was granted to his grandson, Philip Fowler, September, 1679. He deeded to this Philip, house and land, December 23, 1668, and probably had no considerable amount of property to dispose of at his death. His widow died about 1694.

Children of Philip and Mary Fowler were:

1. Margaret, baptized March 25, 1615, in England, married, July 28. 1633, Christopher Osgood.
2. Mary, married William Chandler, ancestor of the Worcester county Chandlers, and lived at Newbury.
3. Samuel
4. Esther, married (first) Jothniel Bird, and (second) Robert Collins.
5. Joseph, born 1629, married Martha Kimball.
6. Thomas, born 1636, in Ipswich, married Hannah Jordan

M. Stickney's The Fowler Family states:

Philip Fowler(1), one of the founders of New England, was probably born in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England, about 1590. 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 1651 "Phillip Fowler the elder, of Ipswich, did come before me, and in the presence of Joseph his sonne, & Martha his wife, & with their full & free consent, did adopt as his sonne, Phillip, the sonne of the sd. Joseph & Martha, to be as his sonne. Samuel Symonds."

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.

• http://www.archive.org/stream/fowlerfamilygene00stic#page/5/mode/1up

Philip entered soon after into a 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.

• http://www.archive.org/stream/fowlerfamilygene00stic#page/10/mode/1up

The Court record states that "Philip Fowler, senior, dyed 24 of June, 1679" in Ipswich. During his long life, we find no record that a descendant would regret to see. He died intestate, and administration on what was left of his estate, he having previously disposed of most of his property among his children, was granted to his grandson Philip, 29 Sept., 1679.

• http://www.archive.org/stream/fowlerfamilygene00stic#page/11/mode/1up

His widow Mary Fowler, probably died just previous to 5 Nov., 1694, as at that time, a bond on file in the Essex Probate records states, that administration was then granted on the estate of George Norton of Salem, to his son John, to finish it, after the death of Mary the widow.

• 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.
  • (II) Samuel Fowler, 'eldest son of Philip and Mary (Winsley) Fowler', was born about 1618, in England, and came to this country, presumably with his father. He resided in Portsmouth and Salisbury, and was a shipwright. The fact that Samuel Winsley called him cousin makes it apparent that that was the maiden name of his mother. He resided in Salisbury in 1668 and 1680, and in 1669 purchased Louis Hulett's country right in Salisbury. It is probable that he belonged to the Society of Friends. He was brought before the court in April, 1675, for "Breach of the Sabbath in traveling." He died January 17, 1711, in Salisbury. The name of his first wife has not been discovered. He was married, after 1673, to Margaret (Norman) Morgan. Children : William, resided in Portsmouth, New Hampshire ; Mary, married Richard Goodwin ; Sarah, living in 1665 ; Samuel, mentioned below.

Philip FOWLER was born about 1590 in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. He immigrated on 24 MAR 1633 from England to America. On the Ship "Mary & John" He took the Freeman Oath of the on 3 SEP 1634. He died on 24 JUN 1679 at Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. (SOURCE: Early Vital Records of Essex County, Massachusetts to 1850 for Ipswich.) He was a Clothworker.

Arrived on the "John & Mary" 24 March 1633/34

THE PURITAN FAMILY by Edmund S. Morgan

Even when a master's commands were righteous, he could not enforce them by cruel methods. With servants as with children the Puritans discountenanced harshness where softer means would avail. As Willard put it, "Extreme Rigor here is extream wrong...we are not to make Asses of our Servants, whilst they may be treated as Men. Cotton Mather pointed out that the punishment of a disobedient servant should be so "moderated with Humanity that he may not be thereby Killed, or Maimed: Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth, and Life for Life, will be demanded, by the Righteous God, the Judge of the Creepled Servant. And before God demanded justice, the courts might do so.

When Philip Fowler was presented at the Essex County Court for abusing his servant, the court affirmed that they "justified any person in giving meet correction to his servant, which the boy deserved, yet they did no approve of the manner of punishment given in hanging him up by the heels as butchers do beast for the slaughter, and cautioned said Fowler against such kind of punishment." If a master's punishments maimed or disfigured his servants, the law required that they be set free--and may servants were set free when they proved that their masters had beaten them excessively.

Notes for PHILIP FOWLER:

Philip was one of the founders of New England. He embarked with his family, in the "Mary and John," of Londen, Robert SAYRES, master, and which lying in the river Thames, they "were made stay of untill further order" from the Council, 28 Feb. 1633/34, owing to misrepresentation of the colonies, by its enemies, which had then reached England, and the master was required, among other thingd, to give a bond of 100 Pounds, 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 1633/34, when they were allowed to proceed on their voyage, and arrived in New England, in May 1634.

He received a grant of land in Ipswich, Essex County, MA., the same year, on which he settled, and where he resided until his death. In 1882 it was still occupied by one of his descendants, bearing the family name.

In 1634 (3 Sept.) he took the Freeman's Oath.

In 1634/35 (5 Jan.) it was, by the town of Ipswich, "Given and granted unto John WEBSTER, and unto Mathias CURRIN (CURWEN), and unto Philip FOWLER, and unto William MOODY, and unto Thomas DORMAN, and unto Christopher OSGOOD, and unto Joseph MEDCALF, to each of them, four acres of meadow and marsh ground asit will arise in 20 poles or rods, by the land side, unto them, thier heirs or assigns, lying northward of the Twon, the marsh is not limited unto them."

Also ten acres of upland lying beyond Muddy river, within the common fence, having ten acres of the like land of John WEBSTER's on the southeast, and tenn acres of Christopher OSGOOD's on the northwest. Also six acres of meadow near the highway to Jeffries neck, having a parcel of meadow of Mr. (John) TUTTLE's on the south, and a parcel of meadow of Christopher OSGOOD's on the north."

In 1636 (13 July) Philip FOWLER, with Thomas DUDLEY (Governor of MA.), and Robert LORD, all of Ipswich, witnessed the Will of Sarah DILLINGHAM; 1st, 12th mo., 1641/42 he witnessed a deed of Christopher OSGOOD's (his son-in-law); 24 Feb. 1650/51 the agreement between Thomas ROWELL of Salisbury , and Margary OSGOOD (his daughter), in a marriage contract; 26 July 1661, a deed of William WILD of Ipswich, to Robert ANDREWS of Topsfield.

In 1663 (11 May) an agreement was made, by which Philip FOWLER, Senior, delivered to Philip BILL of "Jubaque," "two young heifers, with him to abide and contiune for the terme of seven years" etc. It appears that Philip BILL, "had gone out of this jurisdiction," and Philip FOWLER, Senior, entered a suit against him 8 Nov. 1668, in the case for security for a parcel of cattle, value 20 Pounds, and at the same time appoints his grandchild "Phillip FOWLER, to be his true and lawful atturney," when he signs "the marke P of Phillip FFOWLER" (and a greenseal), and acknowledged it, the same dated.

I have that he was born between 1591 and 1598.

Philip Fowler was a passenger on the ship "Mary and John" which sailed from London on March 24, 1633.

Massachusetts was a colony at this point in time. The software will only allow me to add as a state of the U.S.

The Fowler family was a prominent one in the area at that time. They were descended from Philip and Mary (Wimsley) Fowler who settled in Ipswich, Mass. in 1634 (Hoyt, Old Fams., p. 162).

Philip Fowler of Ipswich, England, a cloth maker, was b. in 1590/91. He married first Mary Wimsley, sister of Samuel Wimsley. Philip and Mary had six children, three boys and three girls. All but Thomas, the youngest son, were born in England before Philip and Mary left from South Hampton on 24 Mar 1633/34 to settle a grant of land which Philip had secured in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Mary died 30 August 1659 at Ipswich; and Philip died twenty years later after a second marriage to another Mary, the widow of George Norton.

Samuel Fowler was the third child of Philip and Mary. He was sixteen years of age when he arrived in Ipswich, MA on the "Mary and John" the spring of 1634. He lived at various times in Ipswich, Salisbury and Portsmouth. He was living in Portsmouth in 1677 when his daughter, Mary, married Richard Goodwin (Hoyt, Old Fams., p. 162).

Richard was eighteen years old when he received the riverside property and twenty-four when he married Mary Fowler. He took the oath of allegiance in Dec 1677 and was a member of the "training band" in 1680 (Hoyt, Old Fams., p. 178).

Although he was a shipwright and exempt from military duties. he was a member of the "Amesbury Snowshoe Men" who guarded the settlement against Indian attacks. He fought in the Indian Wars and served in the Colonial Militia for more than thirty years. On 26 Aug 1680, "Richard Goodwin of ye town of Amesbury "shipwright", for fifty shillings conveyed unto Thos Mudget of Salisbury "shipwright", one quarter of an acre in Amesbury --- (Ipswich Deeds 3:306). He made his will 03 Aug 1729. It was probated at Ipswich 05 Jan 1729/30; and adm. of estate to son Samuel on 01 May 1730 (Essex Probate 3 19:125-7).
