I am looking for information on the parents and siblings of John HOWARD. He was born in GA c.1805 and was in Cherokee Co., AL by 1835. I don't know the name of his first wife, she died in AL before 1840 as John is a widower on the 1840 census. His children by his first wife are Josephus born c.1830, GA; William born c.1833, GA; Rupus/Rufus born c.1835, AL; Frances born c.1838, AL; and Caroline born c.1839, AL. He remarried and appears on the 1850 Cherokee Co. census with his second wife Mariah(?), born c.1818, SC. His children by his second wife are Mary born c.1841 and Matilda Tabitha born c.1844. They were living in Jackson Co., AL in the 1860 census. Matilda married Robert Donald PROCTOR in Jackson Co. in 1866. I'd appreciate any information about John, his ancestors, or his descendants. Thanks, Barbara
