That is a lot of land for one family with only three small girls to have, and I wonder why he had so much land?

Now, a cursory reading of available Sonoma township history doesn't show any Richard Fowler as a hotel manager or otherwise. In the 1852 census it describes his occupation as "Public Entertainment", although exactly what this means, I'm not sure. By the time his estate is probated in 1857, the administrator, William Cubberly, who had married the widow Mariah, evidently did not have enough money to pay the fees involved, and the administration was never completed. This doesn't strike me as a wealthy family.

So to determine where in Missouri Richard Fowler came from, I decided to start tracing everybody who lived in Sonoma town, who had come there direct from Missouri. So here is a list of people who lived in Missouri prior to coming to Sonoma, and who didn't live anywhere else in-between.
