Elvira Fowler was born on 24 June 1814 in Columbus County North Carolina, the daughter of Richard Fowler and his wife, Sarah. When she was about five, her parents moved from North Carolina to what was then Monroe County Alabama Territory, the region that later fell into Clarke County Alabama. Richard Fowler and his family remained there until about 1827, when he moved north to the Village of Snow Hill. He bought a plantation outside of Snow Hill on the county line of Wilcox/Dallas counties.
Elvira Fowler married in Clarke County on 20 August 1835 to Amos Robinson. They had three children before his death in the early 1840s. Between 1844 and 1846, Elvira remarried to Wiley Jefferson Polk. They remained in Clarke County until the winter of 1850-1851, when they followed her parents and sisters to Union Parish Louisiana. Within a few years, Elvira and Wiley moved west again, this time settling in De Soto Parish Louisiana.
Elvira and Wiley had no children of their own. It appears that her son John R. Robinson died while serving in the Confederate military. In the 1870s and 1880s, Elvira and Wiley lived near or with her daughter, Roana Robinson Howell.
Elvira and Wiley Polk died sometime after 1880, presumably in De Soto Parish Louisiana.
