I am searching for information on the ancestory of James M. Howe. This is what I have, which isn't very much. James M. Howe b. 1835 in IL. m. (?) an Indian girl b. in IL. His father came from MD. and his mother came from TN. I have him and two of his daughters in Hillsboro, Hill Co., TX. in the 1880 census. His daughter, Martha Ellen Howe, b. 11-08-1861 in IL. m. John Wesley Barker b. 1-13-1855 in LA. His other daughter's name was Margaret "Maggie" Howe. Martha Ellen and James Wesley "JW" married 11-02-1881 in Hillsboro, Hill co., TX. She died 3-7-1911 in Jack Co., Bryson, TX. Thier daughter, Minnie Ada (Barker) Plaster, my grandmother, was b. 7-14-1891 in Jack Co., TX. Their children are George W., John N., Winnie E., Minnie Ada, Thomas W., James E., Joseph W. all born in TX., and most buried in Jack Co., Tx. Any information on this line would be greatly appreciated. My Aunt and I can't find any information as to The ancestory of Martha Ellen Howe except her fathers name, James M. Howe. Thanks in advance for any help. Johnine
