FOWLER, JONATHAN (Mahoning County) [41.0191290 -80.6092590]

Born February 21, 1764 at Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, a son of Andrew Fowler and Martha Stone Fowler of Guilford, Connecticut. His siblings were Rev. Andrew, James, Bela, and Russell. He was a Vermont soldier in the Revolutionary War. He married Lydia Kirtland (1772-1850). In 1801, Jonathan Fowler built the first sawmill and grist mill within what is now the Village. In 1804, Jonathan Fowler erected a stone tavern building in the settlement. The settlement was known as "Fowler's" for some time. For many years it was the historic "Sparrow Tavern," with a frame front of recent vintage, and was the home of Charles Austin. (It was on the porch of this tavern that William McKinley enlisted in the Union Army in 1861.) In 1804, Jared Kirtland also erected a tavern in the same area. Jonathan Fowler died April 12, 1806 at Poland, Ohio and was buried at Poland Presbyterian Cemetery, Row 13, Poland, Mahoning County, OH 44514. References: Revolutionary War soldiers’ graves in Ohio.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
