Hi Ellen. The only information I have on this family is what I got from you several years ago. However, I show Jacob's parents as Samuel Howrey and Maria Roseboom. I can't tell whether I got that information from you or from someone else. If, instead, Jacob was the son of John George Howry, is this the same John George, of Dearborn Co, Indiana, being researched by Judie Cale Nelson? Justin C.S.

My line of Howery's: Sarah Ellen Howery, born March 24, 1850, Shelby County Ind. married to John Reid Fox in 1867; died July 3, 1917; Sarah's father: Jacob Howery, born February 11, 1814. Settled in Marion Twp. Shelby County Indiana in 1825. Married to Sarah Elvira Thomas June 23, 1836, Shelby County, In; died Dec 9, 1885. I have been told, but have no documentation of the following: Jacob's (b1814) father was John Howery, born c1778. John's (b c1778) father was Jacob, whose father was Jacob Sr. Jacob Sr.'s father was Ulrich Hauri. Ulrich's father was Hans Hauri. If anyone has any documentation on the parentage of Jacob (born 1814), I certainly would appreciate learning about it. I have some additional information about the Shelby County, IN Howery's, but it will take me some time to dig it out and get it organized. Meantime, if someone has a Shelby County Howery question, let me know and I will see if I can dig and organize a bit faster. Ellen
