Hi Geoff,
Greetings from Toronto, Canada.
I am descended from Mary Dare's brother, Robert Fowler junior (c1757 - 1848). Mary Dare and my Robert Fowler junior were both the children of Robert Fowler senior (17?? - 1806). In 1781, at her marriage with Robert Dare, Mary had an unmarried sister, Sarah Fowler, who married William Glyde, the next year. We do not know the name of the wife of Robert Fowler senior. So that witness could have been Mary Dare's sister and probably was. I am not researching the families of any of the siblings of Robert Fowler junior.
I have a few notes on your ancestor and mine, Robert Fowler senior, which may help you:
" Our earliest known Fowler ancestor was Robert Fowler senior (17?? – 1806), yeoman, of Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset, and of Thorncombe, Devon. We can state this with a good deal of certainty. Locations and dates of his baptism and marriage are not known. [A possible marriage for this Robert was in Cricket St. Thomas, on June 1st., 1753, when a Robert Fowler, otp, married a Mary Pall, sp, of the parish of Winsham.] It is also not known where he lived in the 1750s and 1760s, when his ten children were born - it was not in Cricket St. Thomas. Robert senior was a dairyman, who left, in his will, all his dairy goods and utensils to his daughter, Martha. Robert senior and family later lived in Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset, till after 1782. Six of his children, all described as of this parish (otp), were married in that parish, between 1774 and 1782. Robert senior and family were living in Thorncombe, Devon, by 1790 and two more of his children were married there, in 1790 and 1792. Robert senior signed his last will on January 30th., 1805, in Thorncombe, Devon. When Robert signed his will, he was a dairyman and he left all his dairy goods and utensils to his daughter, Martha. That will was proved at London on December 10th., 1806, sons Robert and James Fowler being executors (prob. 11 / 1453). In his will Robert Fowler mentioned, by name, his 10 (surviving?) children. Robert Fowler 80, of the parish of Thorncombe, Devon, was buried in Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset, on October 11th., 1806. "
Geoff, I hope that this helps!
Hope that you and your family are keeping well and clear of all trouble from Covid 19.
Best wishes.
Peter.
