I'm searching for the descendants of Joseph HOWE, Sr. (see below). I know of only two children to his marriage to Frances MARSHALL, and suspect that there might have been others. If you have any additional information on this HOWE line, I would love to hear from you. All Our Best Wishes, MARSHALL & BETTY ---------------------------------------------------------------- M.

I have one positive HOWE line, where Anne HOWE daughter of Edward HOWE and his wife Margaret (whose maiden name I do not know) married Elder John STONE in 1639, probably in Watertown, Massachusetts. The other is either mother or stepmother (which is she?) Bathsheba HOWE married to Jeremiah GRISWOLD circa 1735 and his son was Samuel GRISWOLD who married Sally WALKER of Pittsfield, MA, daughter of Elias WALKER. Does this sound familiar? Can you help with any specific history or data? I would greatly appreciate any help you can give. Please reply privately, so as not to clog the list. Mary

I seek information on the following couple: Otis H. Knight and Sally Howe, reportedly married on November 29, 1827. Family records (my wife's line) give their names and marriage date as per above and their birth dates as follows: Otis H. Knight, b. Dec. 26, 1800 Sally Howe, b. March 15, 1797 We know they were living in Cambridge, Vermont by at least February 3, 1831 when their eldest son, Orvilla, was born. I found them in the Vermont census of 1840 and 1850. In these census records, they reported they were born in New Hampshire, but I don't know what town and don't know either of their parents. I do know that their children were born in Vermont. Their two sons, Orvilla Draper Knight and Edmund Curtis Knight moved to North Brookfield, Massachusetts and their daughter Abbie C. Knight died and is buried in Cambridge, VT. We have reasonably complete records from then to today. But Otis's and Sally's ancestry is a mystery. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, David G. White Burlington, Vermont whitekni@together.net

Does anyone have a FRANK HOWE in their data base?? His father was TRUMAN HOWE and his adopted mother was Sarah Gibson Walker Howe. I'm guessing Frank would have been born in the mid to late 1800s. Any help?? Sherry

Hi, Fellow Howe Researchers, Searching for descendants of one Amariah HOW, b. 1753 Brooksfield, MA, son of Ichabod HOW. Amariah's wife's name was Alidah, marriage date ca. 1786-1787 Sorel, Quebec. Amariah was a descendant of Edward Howe of Lynn, Mass. Amariah's children all born at Sorel, Quebec between the period of 1787 and 1798, were: Daniel, James, Elias Amariah, Jane and William. In 1802 Amariah took his family from Sorel Que. to Kingston, Ont., where the children may have attended school. Amariah was still in that area ca 1845. The children may have crossed over into Jefferson County, NY. Amariah's wife Alidah died shortly after their relocation in 1803. Any leads will be gratefully received Jean Henry jhenry1000@aol.com jmhenry2@juno.com

I am looking for information on TRUMAN HOWE who married Sarah Gibson Walker somewhere between 1855 and 1900. He was probable born early 1800s. Sarah was from Ontario, Canada and had two children by William Walker before he died. She moved to the U.S. around 1856. Not much to go on. Help Sherry

I'm trying to find a Julius Clark Howe. He was born in Greenville, Montcalm, Mich. on 21 Mar. 1689... the second son to Amenzo Franklin Howe and Catherine M. Clark. Julius was 2 years old when his mother died and his family moved to Little Valley, New York where his father married 2nd. Bertha Samantia Foster. Julius Clark Howe's brother was Alvah Warren Howe, b. 1867 in Greenville, Mich. He also had 5 half brothers and sisters, all born in Little Valley, N.Y. They were: Herbert Chester, b. 23 July 1873; Charles Louis, b. 1882; Clayton, b. 1883 and d. 1887; Avery Glen, b. 1889; and Verna Ruth, b. 1891. Does anyone have information on Julius or any of his siblings? Oliver Howe ohowe@willapabay.org

>Seeking information on Thomas Howe (b:1793 in VA, d:1867 in >Lake Fork, IL). >Married Nancy Fillson in Ross Co., OH in 1821. Children include: >Abner (b:1824 in Ross Co., OH) m:Jane Gassaway >Elizabeth (b:abt 1829) >George (b:abt 1830) I presently am searching for the parentage of Carolyn Howe b. OH on 28 Sept 1829. She married first Michael O'Brian, 25 Mar. 1847 in Sangamon Co., IL. I haven't found out what happened to Michael but she remarried 10 April 1850 to Tobias Vancil in Tazewell Co., IL. Tobias and Carolyn are my ggg grandparents. When I was trying to find out why Carolyn's obit said she was Carolyn Howe and that she was married in Tazewell Co. in 1850 but the marriage records showed Tobias marrying Carolyn O'Brian I started looking for a prior marriage. I not only found Carolyns first marriage but also an Elizabeth Howe marrying Tobias brother John (7 Aug 1847). I would assume that they were sisters. Do you know where Abner was married or where in IL your Howe's were in the late 1840's. Lake Fork is only about 5 miles north of Sangamon in Logan Co. Mike
