"David Fowler, the famous Montauk pioneer who led his people from Indian Field, Montauk to Oneida, New York in 1765 was an ancestor of Marguerite Fowler La Porte.
She was born in East Hampton on April 8, 1900, the daughter of Sarah and George Fowler, both Montauks. Her brother Red Man was one of East Hampton's most outstanding allround athletes.
Mrs. La Porte was a strong Indian traditionalist and her beadwork collected by the late Dr. Frank G. Speck of the Univ. of Pa. is in the collections of the University of Indiana. She died on October 30, 1944. Note the sharp features and aquiline noses which seem to characterize the Fowlers."
