I am a descendent of Emanuel Howard and Susana Harrell of the Citronelle area. They were married October 1, 1859 in Mobile County, and a William Howard signed the marriage bond for proof of Emanuel's age. Susana was born November 6, 1832. My problem is this: I do not know who Emanuel's father is. There were two (2) Howards living in the Citronelle area who had sons named Emanuel. There was Loammi Howard (born 1804 in Georgia) married to Delilah Anne (Annie) Prine, and there was Daniel Howard (born 1803 in Georgia) married to Ada (Eady) Harrell. These two Howards were most likely brothers. Loammi's Emanuel was born in 1838 and Daniel's Emanuel was born in 1834. Daniel also had a son named William (could this be the William on Emanuel and Susana's marriage bond?). I have been told (no proof) that Loammi was my Emanuel's father, but due to Daniel's Emanuel being closer to Susana's age and having a brother named William, I am having serious doubts. Does anyone have any information on this family that might help to clear things up? Here is my Ancestry to help: Emanuel Howard b: 1834/1838 d: abt 1920 married: Susana Harrell - son: Elijah Isaih Howard b: 1871 d: 1952 married Florence Welford -son: Charles Edward Howard b: 1896 d: 1986 married Estelle Marie Draime - Thomas Earl Howard b: 1941 d: still living married Linda Kay Hines - David Earl Howard (me) Thanks for any help, David
