I have a Rachel Ellen Fowler b. @1843 MO who was in Stewart Creek, Denton
Co., TX on the 1860 Census with her family:
John C. Fowler b. @1815 KY
Olivia Martha Heath Fowler b. @1824 KY
Ellen Fowler b. 1843 MO
D. William Fowler b. @1845 MO (my ancestor)
Isabella Fowler b. @1850 MO
Mary "Mollie" Ann Fowler b. @1855 TX
& they would add Olivia Martha Fowler b. @1864-1868 TX
Ellen had gone by the name of "Ellen" on the 1850, 90th Distr, Saline Co.,
MO, Census record & on the 1860 Stewart Creek, Denton Co., TX Census and on
her March 14, 1861, Collin Co. TX marriage to Cornelius Lewis b. @1835
Ireland. Family lore has it that Cornelius died in the Civil War but I have not
found a Military Record for him. But he did die before Feb. 24, 1863 when she
changed the land records to her name as his widow she used the name Rachel
Ellen Lewis. After that she went by the name Rachel instead of Ellen.
Rachel Ellen Fowler Lewis married Nelson C. Cogdell July 5, 1865 in Collin
Co. TX.
There is a son on the 1880 Census (I never located them on the 1870 Census)
in Gap Twp, Montgomery Co., AR showing as John Cogdell b. @1862 TX. I do not
know the name of Nelson C. Cogdell's first wife, if he was a widower when
Rachel Ellen married him, but I have thought this may have been HER son who took
the last name of Cogdell instead of Lewis? I do not know because I lost
him after this?
But Nelson C. & Rachel Ellen Fowler (1) Lewis (2) Cogdell would have other
children, probably more than I am listing since I know at least one of their
children died, maybe more since there are years between their children. This
is what I show, thanks to the help of kind volunteers.
1. William L. Cogdell b. @July 1865, TX m. Julia Masoncup @1893 Pike Co., AR
2. Charles N. Cogdell b. @1875 TX died May 1880 Montgomery, Co., TX
3. James Andrew Cogdell b. @1880 prob. Gap Twp. , Montgomery Co., TX m.
Willie Florence Blevins.
4. Olivia Cogdell b. @1883 AR m. July 1, 1917 Pike Co., AR Jim W. Johnson
Rachel Ellen Fowler Lewis Cogdell died before 1897, am not sure when or
where.
Nelson C. Cogdell would marry Elizabeth "Betty" Phillip Feb. 24, 1897, she
was born @1862 GA.
I believe the descendants of William were in CA, up around Tulare, Co. CA or
around Fresno, CA
Olivia, the daughter of Nelson & Rachel Cogdell who married Jim W. Johnson
was said to have lived around Pike & Howard Co., AR all their lives. Olivia &
Jim W. Johnson appear to have had two children:
Jewel Johnson & Curtis Crowder Johnson do not know when or where they were
born or who they married?
1. I would like to contact the descendants of Rachel Ellen Fowler.
2. I would appreciate locating this family in 1870?
3. I would be very interested in the John Cogdell b. @1862 who shows on the
1880 Gap Twp, Montgomery Co., AR Census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

I have an uncle whose name is William D. Cogdell - however, I cannot connect my Cogdells to my great-grandfather's (Nelson Crowder Cogdell) family and cannot give you any help here. If anything appears, I will let you know. Happy hunting.
