Howze, wife Martha, and two children, at the following web page: http://www.clarkecomsgenealogy.com/1850cen2.html Living next to them was family #151 James M. Hand, wife Caroline, and their children. Family # 148 was Sarah Hand, apparently a widow,and her children. And family #139 was my wife's ancestors, John H. Ogburn and wife Rebecca (Howze), and their children. I recently learned that Rebecca Caroline Howze was b. in Perry Co., MS, not AL as I had mistakenly thought. More than ever, I now suspect that the Hand family is in Rebecca's ancestry. You can look for the family of Sam and Martha Howze in the 1860 and 1870 Clark Co. census by clicking on the surname index at the top of the above referenced web page. Good luck!
