Sandy,
You may use the following info from my book, HISTORY OF THE CLEVELAND GERMANS so long as you give me and the sources in my fottnote proper credit. For me, simply cite as:
Robert E. Ward HISTORY OF THE CLEVELAND GERMANS. See Chapter 1. The surname Fowls appear to have been some form of Americanization of a German name, perp[ahs from VOGEL, or GEFLGEL.

"Fowls Road in Middleburg Heights recalls a prominent family headed by David L. Fowls (also Fowles) who is said to have been a German from Hannover. He reportedly arrived in America as mercenary soldier in the army of King George of England. In 1813, he followed his sons, Abram and John, to Plumbfield, as Middleburg Heights was then called. According to a family history, the father deserted to the American cause and served on General Washington's staff as an interpreter.1 He died in Middleburg Township in 1834. "

1.. "Fowles Family History." n. Pag. [3]. See also the newspaper account of the second Fowles Family Reunion(Aug.27, 1901) in the Berea Enterprise (Aug.30, 1901), p.5, col. 2. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Robert Fowles, Martin B. Lewis, Helen Simpson, Kermit Simpson, and Dorothy McKelvey, the late Baldwin-Wallace College historian.

Is anyone on this list researching the FOWLES/FOWLS surname?

If so, I have some questions about Abram Fowles of Middleburg/Berea -
like where he came from and who his siblings were?

Virus warnings

RootsWeb's mailing lists are filtered and attachments are not allowed. A virus that is distributed as an attachment will not reach you through a RootsWeb mailing list.

A recent virus, and several imitations of it, may result in your receiving an e-mail (or a greeting card) with a virus attached, that appears to come from RootsWeb or from an address you are familiar with. Some virus will send a message to all the unread messages in the infected person's mailbox folders; another will use addresses found in the infected person's address book. They send messages using a forged address (for instance, using RootsWeb or the infected person in the return address). The subject line may be from a message that was recently received, making it even more credible. While it may appear to come from RootsWeb, that is only an illusion of the virus -- our address and the subject line is a forgery.

What can you do? Protect yourself by never opening an attachment from someone you do not know, or that look suspicious. If an unexpected attachment comes from someone you do know, write to confirm that the attachment was sent by them prior to opening it. If you have an e-mail from RootsWeb, and there is an attachment of any kind, don't open it. Use a virus protection program. Know what viruses are out there so you will recognize one when if you get it. There are sites that will help you, including those shown below.

Remember, if you do not open the attachment, you can not get infected with the virus. Delete it. Then empty the trash bin to make sure it is gone. If you are using an e-mail program that stores attachments elsewhere on your computer, such as Eudora, find it there and delete it too.
