In 1809, Elijah, Dorothy and their five children moved to Fowler, St Lawrence Co NY. His death in 1812, was the first death in Fowler. I have no ex plantation why the extra 'T' was added to the names of Elijah and Dorothy's children's names. The previous generations had all used one 'T'. Sally Gustafson. Feb 1999.
