Hi Evelyn and Carlene, I'm addressing this to both of you because of the Howard's, Moore's and the Wight's. I would love to talk to both of you as I am also connected to the Wight's and through them, the Howard's. Harriet M. Howard married James E. Wight on February 03, 1859 in Madison County, Iowa. Of that marriage, seven children were born. All five of their sons died at an early age and only the two daughters lived to adulthood, married and had children. Harriet was in ill health for many years and spent some of her later years in a "sanitarium" at Clarinda, Iowa. I am James and Harriet's great-grandniece and have done extensive work in Madison County. If you would contact me privately, I will send you what I have on any of the people in question. I ask that you contact me privately because what I have , I can send to you as an attachment. Also, I would love further information on the Moore and Howard lines. I will help you fill in all of the information that I can. Hoping to hear from both of you Judy Wight Branson jlwight@northlink.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <SNewton284@aol.com> To: <IAMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2000 10:47 PM Subject: Re: [IAMADISO] Fw: > Hello Carlene, > I am a direct descendant of the Moores and the Howards of Winterset.
