Child List

The following provides a dispersion analysis of the children of Richard and Joan Fowle. DOB's and DOD's are unverified. Dispersion notes indicate range of popular views, some conflicting. DODs are particularly variable. Two of the children (Richard and Elizabeth) apparently died young as they are not mentioned in their fathers will. Most of the children remained in Rhode Island, but three (Francis, Samuel, and Benjamin) moved to New Jersey, probably occupying lands aquired by their father during the settlement of Monmouth. Daughter Amey is shown as dying in Gravesend, LI, and it can be assumed she moved there with her husband. This is an interesting connection since Benjamin, son of Richard and Joane, married a daughter of James Grover who was also one of the first settlers of Monmouth, NJ, and came to NJ from Gravesend, Long Island, New York
