Hi Larry & all, Maybe I should read all my messages before I start answering any of them. Thank you Larry for sharing your research on Samuel Howery and his families. The information about the children born to 1st wife Mary Sifford certainly answers a lot of questions for me. Happy to hear you are researching Warren Co., IA also. Yes, David King Howery is my husband's line and I concure with all the data you shared about him. However, see my p.s. below. We are still awaiting his death certificate. Should be in the mail as Kansas Vitals has cashed my check. I will share with all of you whatever information is on that document. If indeed they sent one. <:( Now I have one thing that I would like to address (Others have shown these same dates as well and I believe I tried discussing it on the list some months ago) and that is: Julia Ann was born 30 Oct 1813 and then 5-1/2 MONTHS later Isaac is born 15 April 1814. Someone help us out here! Is there anyone of us researching Isaac? Sammie Dobbins, CA p.s. Family history notes show David's birthyear as 1828, David's tombstone shows 1826, other researchers show 1827. We'll see what his children reported on the death certificate.
