Hi, I am interested on your Thomas Howard from MA. I have a George Johnston HOWARD who was born in Lowell, Middlesex, MA in 1819. He married Polly Wells in 1843 and they moved to the Chautauqua Co., NY area. His daughter Charlotte Anne married into my dad's line, Septimus Alexander LYON. The George HOWARD family and the LYON family moved to St. Charles during the 1870's. I'm wondering if you know where in MA your Thomas HOWARD lived? I know nothing about the HOWARD line prior to George. I don't know any of George's brothers and sisters. I do know his mother's name was Anna. I suspect that she married after George's fathers because her last name in the census is BOWERS. If you can make any connections to my line, let me know. Happy Hunting. Pam pmiller288@aol.com
