I have checked my records, and could find nothing on Ethopholis Howery. Sorry that I couldn't help. Best of luck on your search. Leonard

I am seeking any information on a Henry Howery, who would have been a young son (possibly grandson) of Daniel H Howery/Howry, in 1868 Missouri. Family tradition indicates that there may have been a name change and a possible move to Arkansas, Oklahoma or Texas. There is also a possibility that his name may have been changed to James/ Jim Cox, and lived in Menard Co., Texas ca 1880. The only known record of Henry Howery was an article printed in the June 4, 1868 issue of the Mt. Vernon Spring Fountain, Mt. Vernon, Mo. The following is a reprint of most all of that article: CASSVILLE. [From The Banner] Fatal Affray, By Robert Man and Daniel H. Howery on Saturday evening last, near the McMurty Spring, about 2 1/2 miles South of this place. Man and Howery had been to Cassville on some business, and had started home late in the evening. It seems that they got into a quarrel about running a horse race, and stopped near the Spring, where some movers were camped and wanted to stake the money with the movers who declined to receive it, after some hard words had passed, Man and Howery clinched and Howery succeeded in throwing Man down when a son of Howery's interfered, and Howery let Man up and said he would thrash his son, and while Howery was after his son, Man struck Howery on the back of his head with an axe, and knocked him down and struck him again after he was down, and stumbled over him and fell. While Man was in the act of getting up, young Howery shot him four times each shot taking effect in his leg and thighs, Man then went and sat down on a wagon tongue, near, saying to young Howery that he was killed, one of the movers then requested him to go away from the women. Man then got up and went to his mule about five paces off, young Howery then went within about one pace of him and presenting his pistol at Man's breast, fired, the shot ranging toward the left shoulder entering the cavity of the chest. Man stepped one step forward and fell dead. The body of Man remained where it fell, all night, and on Sunday morning E. W. Smith, Esq proceeded to hold an inquest on the body. The verdict of the jury was that Man came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Henry Howery, in defense of his father. Old Howery was still alive on Sunday morning, and was taken to his home near Washburne. Man was a blacksmith at Washburne, and leaves a wife and several small children. Since writing the above we learn that D. H. Howery is dead. Any information on Henry Howery/Howry or James/Jim Cox would be greatly appreciated.

Justin, The 1810 Daniel Houry census entry lists the following: 1m(-10) 1m(10-16) 2m(16-26) 1m(26-45) 2f(-10) 1f(16-26) 1f(26-45) According to Rev. Daniel's gravestone, he was born in 1782, therefore would have been 28 in 1810. He would have been to young to have had children ages 16-26. His children that I am aware of were; Eliza b 1802, James Moorman b 1804 and Priscilla b 1808. They could be the children, who were on this census listed as being under 10. Susannah, Daniel's wife, was born, according to her grave stone, in 1783. She could have been the female listed as 26-45. If this census is for Rev Daniel, the entries for 1m(10-16), 2m(16-26), and 1f(16-26) would be unexplained. Of course he could have had other people living with him. In reference to the Daniel who was a hatter, I have a copy of a record of an account book, dtd 1820, that shows Rev Daniel buying a wool hat. I have always assumed that since he bought a hat that he wasn't the hatter. Obviously, he could have been one though. Leonard

I'm not sure I have this right, but I'll offer what I have-- I have three Daniels. The third one had a wife Madeline. Not sure of the source for this, but am trying to track it down. I think he might have been a son of Jacob and Ursula and therefore a brother of Jacob of Howrytown. Just a theory, but he might have been the hatter who advertised in 1800 and might have died shortly thereafter. Of course, he might also (as far as I know) have been the same person as the Daniel who married Susanna Wax, in which case Madeline was apparently an earlier wife. I've assigned the 1810 census entry to Daniel who married Susanna Wax, but the later census entries to the Daniel who married Mary Feller. My reasoning is that the Daniel who married Susanna was married in 1801, had several children by 1810, and is said to have moved to Hawkins Co, Tennessee in December 1811 (after the 1810 census). On the other hand, the Daniel who married Mary Feller was newly married in 1810 (married in April). I don't have the 1810 census entry in front of me, so I don't know whether that entry indicates any children for Daniel. If my reasoning is faulty here, I sure hope someone tells me. For the Daniel who married Mary Feller, I show him as 1820 Montgomery (or Pulaski), 1830 same, 1840 same, 1850 West District, Fayette Co, now West Virginia, 1860 Little River, Floyd Co. The 1850 Census looks suspect to me, but I've kept it because I have no contrary info. I show Daniel who married Mary Feller with kids: Peter (born 1813, married Frances Pate), Lewis (born 1815, married Sarah Pate), and Nancy (born 1827, married Hamilton Graham). I also show him as father of Lewis (born about 1811, married Fannie Fields), but I'm almost sure that's wrong. Surely this was a different Lewis, but I'm not sure who his father was. -----Original Message----- From: kashmir [mailto:kashmir@potlatch.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 1999 7:59 PM To: HOWERY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HOWERY-L] For Leonard Howry--Rev Daniel Howry Hi Leonard and All, Thanks for the info that there were two different Daniel Howry; the Reverend married to Susanna Wax and another Daniel married to Mary Feller.

I must have missed something here. The only probate record I know of is a very brief abstract of the will (not the will itself), entered in the Chester Co records by the clerk. It mentions only wife Barbara and "brethern". No mention of "son and sons". If there's another document out there, it would be great news for all of us. Does someone on the list have a copy? We need to be careful about assuming that an Orphan's Court means that there were children involved. At some times and places, Orphan's Courts functioned as the primary probate court, although I don't remember ever finding that to have been the case in Pennsylvania. The age of majority for men in Colonial Pennsylvania was 21. I don't know what it was for women. -----Original Message----- From: kashmir [mailto:kashmir@potlatch.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 1999 7:41 PM To: HOWERY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HOWERY-L] For Leonard Howry--Wolrick Howry Hi Leonard and the rest of the listers, Thanks for posting this info.

I understand. Something that might work is to post a message to the board asking if certain people are subscribers. If not, now might be a good time to write a letter and prompt them :) -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Howry [mailto:lhowry@txcyber.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 1999 8:00 AM To: HOWERY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [HOWERY-L] List Subscribers Thanks Justin.

This little tidbit on the Monroe Twp, Randolph Co. IN census 17 September 1850, living in the Joseph Howery (son of Samuel and Mary Sifford Howery) home was a John Howery, age 66, born in VA, occupation HATER. Hatter/hater isn't an occupation you see often. Could this John, born 2 years after Rev. Daniel, be his brother? Anyone out there have any ideas? Judie Cale Nelson

Does anyone know where the name Ethopholis may have come from. He was the son of my ancestor Davidson Howery and Mary Ann Stevens of Dane Co. Wisconsin abt 1854. Davidson died abt 1855 and Mary Ann married a Smith and Burchell. A Victorine Howery b. 1847 m. George Elwood, and my ancestory Maria (Mariah) Howery b. 1854 married William Riles. If there is anyone out there that is of this line and can give me some idea of what happened to Ethopholis, I would love to hear from you. Thank you Bonnie Robillard. -- For family names I am researching visit my Web Page: http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/robibn/

I am posting this to the list in case it may be of help to anyone who is researching the Howry's of 1850 Arkansas. To my knowledge, all of the Howrys who lived in 1850 Arkansas, with the exception of Rev. Daniel Howry, were enumerated on the 1850 Benton Co. census as "Owry"s. These include George Jacob Howry, Jr, James Howry, William Howry and David Howry, who was really Daniel Harrison Howry, my g g grandfather. These four men, along with Nancy Howry Wight were the children of George Jacob Howry, Sr, son of the Howrytown, Va, Jacob Howry. I'm not sure which researcher first discovered these census errors. It could have been Kathy Howry of Ada, Oklahoma. She is the one who told me about them. Leonard

Judie, Wolrick's probate is written in a hand that is difficult for me to read. However, there is a mention of "son & sons" and the Chester Co. Orphan's Court. I wonder if the reference of "son & sons" could mean son and sons-in law. Surely the reference to an orphan's court means that an heir was a minor. Wonder at what age one was considered to be a minor in 1724. Maybe someone on the list can help us out. Leonard

Judie, The Daniel Howry who married Susannah Wax was not the same Daniel who married Mary Feller. There were at least two Daniels in Virginia between 1800 and 1810. On the 1806 Montgomery Co. Tax lists one Daniel was listed as being in a dwelling with Joseph Rodgers and another Daniel listed as being in a dwelling with Michael Howry. I do not know which of these two was a son of the Howrytown Jacob Howry. I don't have much information on the Daniel who married Mary Feller. He could have been the Daniel who was a hat maker and is probably the one who was on the 1820 & 1830 Montgomery Co. censuses. The Rev Daniel Howry was born in Penn. in 1782 , and Married Susannah Wax in 1801. He had three children: Eliza, who married Andrew Karnes; James Moorman, who was a founder of the Univ. of Mississippi; and Priscilla, who married John Roberson. According to an article about Washington Co, Arkansas Baptist churches, written by Lloyd Warren, he was ordained inTennessee in October, 1814. He is listed as being a jurist in Hawkins, Co., Tenn. in 1815 and 1818. He is referenced in a Hawkins Co. judicial proceeding in 1827, and is on the 1830 & 1840 Hawkins censuses. An 1835 Hawkins Co. tax record shows that he had 185 acres of land. He is on the 1850 Washington Co., Arkansas census. On 27 Jan 1852, at the age of 70, he remarried to Winnie Carter. He died on 6 Sep 1863, and is buried in the Roberson family graveyard in Washington Co. Arkansas. There are numerous northwest Arkansas church records of him. A lot of the information I have on him comes from research done by Bernice Karnes. Leonard

Hello everyone, I am a new member of the list. My name is Leonard Howry, and I live in Bryan, Texas. I haven't done research for several years, but am looking forward to getting back into it, and hope that I can contribute to the discussions on this list. The only question that I have at this time, is how can I find a list of subscribers to this list. What I believe to be my family line is as follows: Jacob Howry--died 1805 in Botetourt Co, Virginia George Jacob Howry--born ca 1784; married to Peggy Martin 1810 in Montgomery Co, Virginia; lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, & possibly Texas; died, probably in Arkansas in 1850 Daniel Harrison Howry--born in Tennessee in ca 1817; married first to Margaret Landers in 1835, then to Lucy Roberts in 1864(my g g grandmother); lived most of life in northwest Arkansas; died in Barry Co, Missouri in 1868 Daniel Harrison Howry Jr--born 1865, somewhere along the western border of Arkansas & Missouri; married Susan Crawford ca 1896; lived most of his adult life near Caldwell, Texas; died 1947 Rufus Heron Howry--born 1907, in Burleson Co, Texas; married Myrtle Ferrell; died 1963 Leonard R Howry--born 1944 Thanks for allowing me to be a member of the list an look forward to future discussions.

Hello Phil, Sorry I lost touch, but my computer's been down. I've been rebuilt, and am back up and running. I am very interested in your Native American heritage. You stated you were Comanche, with relatives marrying into the Kiowa Nation. Our line of Haury's has married into the Kiowa Nation, too. I'd really like to find out where this is leading.... Also, need much more information on your Comanche background.... This past February, I had the pleasure of dancing with a Comanche Fancy Dancer, from Texas. He was here in Florida dancing in St. Augustine. He, like me, is working with the Scouts. I gave him my email address but, unfortunately, I haven't heard from him.... :-( Keep in touch. Maybe we'll have the opportunity to dance together some day.... Bill Haury RedHorse@gbso.net
