Hi Darline,
I'd love to make the connection between our Ezra Fowler's, but it seems unlikely he's the father of your Ezra. From the 1850 census I know he had three children with Olive Fitzgerald between 1840 and 1846. The births took place in New Hampshire and Maine. She remarried in 1849 and Ezra disappears some time before that. I have heard that Olive and Ezra divorced but haven't seen any documentation.
Using Olive's age as a guide, he must have been born sometime around 1810-1815. He likely lived around Littleton, NH at some point since that's where Olive and her first child with Ezra was born. The other two children that I know of were born in Jackman and Hampden, Maine.
Thanks for the reply and good luck with your search.
