"(5) … Jonathan,3 … b. at New Haven, 8th February, 1650-51, m. Elizabeth Reynolds."
"Jonathan (Fowler),3 … the ancestor of the Fowlers of Windham Co., Ct., had lands from his father, at New Haven, where he resided in 1661. He, with his brother John, was one of the 'young men' of Milford who, in 1671, destroyed the fort built by the Indians for their defence against the Mohawks. What their object was in destroying it, does not appear, but it was done 'with the utmost secrecy, at dead of night,' as the records tell us. The Indians complained of the act, whereupon civil process was issued against them. They were tried before the General Court at New Haven, and fined ten pounds each. In 1681 or '82 he sold out at New Haven, and was of Norwich, 1683 to 1693, when he removed to Windham with his family, and there died 10th June, 1696. He m. at Norwich, 3d August, 1687, Elizabeth, dau. of John Reynolds, of Norwich. She was born November, 1666, of a family of eight children. He mentions in his will four children, all recorded at Norwich, as is also his death."
