Jacob B. FOWLER (c1825-c1899) TN & MO

My Jacob B. Fowler's second wife was Susan - not Frances as I stated earlier. Johnny & Jean Fowler recently sent me a couple of records which I believe must be of my Jacob B. Fowler.
A divorce record in Caldwell Co., KY. between J. B. Fowler & Virginia Fowler, granted Dec 8, 1866, states Virginia was non resident.My Jacob B. Fowler's first wife, Martha Virginia (Elkins) Fowler, was still in Cannon Co TN on 1870 and 1880 censuses
J.B. Fowler married Susan Ford the 17th of Dec. 1866 in Caldwell Co., KY.The marriage record states his age was 39 years, & this his 2nd marriage.The bride was 36 years old & this was her 1st marriage.The marriage took place at Lewis Fowler's on the 17th of Dec. 1866. The 1880 Christian County census show Jacob age 55 and Susan age 50, a close match to the ages on the marriage record. House of Fowler lists this Lewis Claibourne Fowler as a son of William and Priscilla (Perry) Fowler of Wake County, NC & Warren County TN. Another son of William & Priscilla was a Jacob B. Fowler born about 1803 who moved to Marshall County, TN before 1840. I've tried to check for any possible connection between the two Jacob B. Fowlers, a generation apart, for years, but I hadn't found any link.
J.B. Fowler & Reuben Curry went bond -a note was signed by Susan Ford,Rufus M
Fowler, and Reuben Curry.
The 1850 and 1860 KY censuses show Susan Ford in the household of Jesse Ford as his daughter. The 1880 Christian County, MO Census shows Jacob and Susan (Ford) Fowler in household 227 of Linden Township. Jessee Ford, age 71, native of Kentucky living in Household 219 of the same township.
I still can't sort out who may be the parents of my Jacob B. Fowler, born about 1825 to 1827, but I think I do know that he knew and visited and was married in the home of Lewis Claibourne Fowler, brother of the older Jacob B. Fowler, that he divorced Martha Virginia (Elkins) Fowler and married Susan Ford, daughter of Jesse Ford in Caldwell County KY in December 1866.
If anyone sees any leads here or recognizes these people, I can use any help offered.
