179. Mary (Polly) Fowler (1799-1850)

There was one student named Fowler in the rolls of the Mordecai school. Mary (Polly) Fowler (1799-1850) was born in Virginia, and attended the school during its first three years, from 1809 to the end of 1811. She married Archibald Daniel Burrows in 1820. They lived in Warren County, North Carolina, where the 1830 federal census found their household included 9 "free white persons" and two women who were enslaved. They had at least five children: William, Letitia (Bobbitt), Mary Rebecca, James, and Tom. Their youngest, Mary Rebecca, was born the same year Archibald died, in 1835. Polly Fowler died in 1850.
