Notes |
- Jeremiah is assumed to have married his first wife, unknown about 1719 before he was of age and to have settled on the 112 acre tract of land in Faulkner's Patent (Fox Meadow in Scarsdale), which his father had purchased from Caleb Heathcote in 1717. The land was deeded to Jeremiah in January 1721/22 by his father, Jeremiah (son of Henry 1.)
In 1723 Jeremiah Fowler, Jr., recorded his earmark of his cattle and was appointed assessor for Scarsdale. In the same year his father died and devised him only an acre of salt meadow "at a place called "Ye Pines", in Eastchester which he had purchased from Jacob Laswrence.
By December 7, 1728, Jeremiah Fowler had moved to Eastchester when with his oldest brother, Lieut. Joseph Fowler, one of the executors of their deceased father's estate, he sold the farm in Fox Meadow to his cousin William Fowler (son of William Fowler 2, son of Henry l.) taking a note of hand, and ten days later purchased from Samuel Thorn and Esther his wife, a homestead in Westchester.
