Has been a pretty quiet list. I have not contributed myself, so maybe we can kick start this!!! Please tell me what your line is and I will send my line out once more. Most of my information has come from dear friends on the net. My Great Great Grandmother was Maria Howery born 18 Feb 1854, Dane Co.WN She is from this line: Mary Ann Stevens b. abt 1833 m. to Davidson Howery, Jacob Howery b.Old Dominion, VA and Catherine Hess Michael Howery b. abt 1760 and Christine Hartman Prior to this I am not sure and will leave that up to the experts. Jacob and Catherine Hess had the following Children; 1. James b. 18 Aug 1816, m. Margaret Heiderich & Narcissa Balch 2. Thomas Hoery b. 10 Oct 1820, m. Maria Stevens 25 Sept 1855 3. John Howery b 11 Dec 1820 m. Ellen Howery & Polly Trevett 4. Charles David Howery b. 02 Oct 1831, m. Elisabeth Stevens. I do have more information that I am not sure about but my web page has some of this information that is unclear and could be used as a starting point only. There are different views on the ancestry.
