    • Note from Vickie Miller:

      1850 Census Callaway Co MO D-138
      Louis Saunders 55 KY
      Polly 44 KY
      William 16 KY
      James 11 KY
      Mary 8 MO
      Frances Fowler 80 VA (f)

      I had originally copied it because it was a Sanders family from KY living in Callaway Co MO. I hadn't pursued it. Now, looking at it again, I see Frances Fowler age 80 born in VA in the household. Well, well, well. I believe this is Frances Fowler formerly Frances Oxley widow of Levi Oxley who married Thomas Fowler in 1803 Fayette Co VA after Levi's death in 1802 Fayette Co KY. Levi & Frances Oxley were the parents of Sarah Oxley born c1798 who married Ackley Day in 1816 Fleming Co KY. I'm 99.9% sure that Ackley was the f/o our Truman Day born 1817 so this makes Frances Fowler in the above household our ancestor. I've done some digging and I believe that Louis Saunders the head of the household was in fact Louis Saunders born c1803 s/o Ackley Saunders of Fleming Co KY. By the way, the ages on this census are wrong for Louis & Polly. According to later census records involving this family-it shows that Louis & Polly listed their ages as about 10 years older on 1850 census:

      1860 Census Callaway Co MO 18 District p788 D-59/60 5 June
      Lewis Saunders 55 KY Farmer 500 50
      Mary 45 KY

      1870 Census Callaway Co MO Saint Aubert Twp Portland PO p457 D-7/7 16 Aug
      William R. Sanders 35 KY Farmer 1200 400
      Almira H. 30 MO Keeping house
      James L. 12 MO at home school
      Francis M. 7 MO at home (f)
      Jane M. 5 MO at home
      Rebecca A. 4 MO at home
      Martha A. 1 MO at home
      Louis 69 KY at home deaf & dumb cr/w
      Polly 63 KY c/w

      1810 Census Fleming Co KY shows Ackley Saunders living next door to Thomas Fowler the 2nd h/o Frances:
      1810 Census Fleming Co KY p86
      Thomas Fowler 20001-22010
      1M -10
      1F -10
      1M -10 Lewis age 9
      1F -10 Margaret Oxley age 11?
      1M 45+ Thomas Fowler
      1F 10-16 Sarah Oxley age 12 ?
      1F 10-16 Joanna Oxley age 15
      1F 26-45 Frances age 40
      William Oxley age 19 not accounted for here; note William Oxley was apprenticed out before Frances remarried; and he's listed as a runaway apprentice. Younger children must be children of Thomas & Frances Fowler.
      Note there are two children in 1810 census not accounted for. As I stated above, they were probably children of Thomas & Frances. I think that it's very possible that Polly Sanders born c1807 according to 1870 census was the female under 10 on 1810 census and that Frances was thus living with her daughter. There is no marriage record for Louis/Lewis Saunders/Sanders in Fleming Co KY. **see my note next

      My note: I believe either the daughter on 1810 or 1820, under 10 years old, was Mary Fowler, daughter of Thomas & Frances. I have a death certificate of Mary Jane Saunders Spillars in 1911, giving her parents as Louis Saunders & Mary Fowler. In 1950, Frances Fowler was living with Louis Saunders family, and I believe she was the mother of his wife, Mary Fowler. Her age varies on every census from birth years of 1806 - 1816.
