John FOWLER

   User ID: P00025740.

  General Notes:

John attended Oxford. He was at Queen's College, Oxford. There are several monuments for the name of Fowler in Winterton church and church yard. One item, a window, was to the memory of one Joseph Fowler, his wife Elizabeth and son John as well as his parents William (the architect and engraver) and Rebecca Fowler.
John has a memorial/grave stone at the Winterton Church that reads, "John Fowler of Queens College Oxford died April MMMDCCCLXVII, aged 67 years." Reference: Inscriptions were recorded in two exercise books, found in Winterton Church, with all the grave headstone shapes and texts that were copied before they were removed to allow easier access for mowing the grass in the Churchyard. This inscription was from, "Inscriptions copied from gravestones, windows and tablets both inside and around the church of Winterton".
A window was placed in the Winterton, England, All Saints Church to the memory of several members of the Fowler family including Joseph Fowler's parents, William (the architect and engraver) and Rebecca Fowler. It reads, "This window was designed and given by Joseph Fowler, A.D. 1875, in memory of his great-grandparents Joseph and Mary, his grandparents Joseph and Mary, his parents William and Rebeca, his wife Elizabeth and his son John, all of whom are buried on this churchyard. Domine, refugium factus es nobis, a generatione in generationem." Reference: Picture of the memorial plaque taken May 31, 2000, by Lucille Webster.
The Ruslings of Hull, England, actually originate in Lincolnshire, England, as do the Fowlers.
