Richard served in the army during the war of 1812, and lived near his father John in Columbus County until about 1819. At that time he moved to Monroe County Alabama. About 1827 he moved a short distance to the village of Snow Hill, in Wilcox County. He bought a plantation that lay on the county line of Wilcox and Dallas Counties. In the 1830s and 1840s, his daughters married into the Albritton and Scarborough families in that area, and in 1847 several of them moved to Union Parish Louisiana.
Richard and Sarah Fowler followed their daughters to Union Parish in November 1850, and he bought a plantation about 8 miles east of Farmerville. He lived next to four of his daughters and their families, and when Richard died between 1855 and 1858, his son-in-law George W. Albritton inherited his old farm. - Tim HudsonThe Original Pages of the Richard & Sarah Fowler Bible - owned by Ms. Barbara Brantley.

m. 12 May 1847, Clarke Co AL to Laura A. TalbertRichard Fowler's family Bible gives the name of his only son as "R. U." Although the Bible gives the second initial as a "U" and not a "W", it is believed the "Walter R. Fowler" who married Laura A. Talbert in Clarke Co AL in 1847 is this son.
John Fowler fought for the patriots during the Revolutionary War, and afterwards lived in the Duplin, Sampson and Columbus County area of southern North Carolina and Horry and Lancaster Counties, South Carolina. - Tim Hudson
