Date: 6/23/00 11:29:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Robert and Janice Blankenship) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi well I am not one of those who have found whom they are seeking. I put it on the line once but will do it again. I am trying to find the Husband of a Nancy Howard who had three sons born in the Bath county area. I found her in the 1830 Census of Bath county with her sons in the Slate creek area. Her first son was Joseph Howard born 1817 in Bath Co. married in July of 1836 to a Mary Jane Craye (Ihave not found any record of Joseph have children by Mary ) He married a second time to Nancy Ward in 1849 and again I have no record of him haveing children) Another son of Nancy Howard was Marcus who was born in 1822 in Bath Co. who married Abigail Warren Sept. 1 1854 in Nicholas Co. They had 3 children a Mary Howard born 1850??? and a Josephine Howard born 1852 and a Frederick Howard born 1857. Last my line a Benjamin F. Howard born July 1854 in Bath Co. Married "about" 1850 in Slate Co. No record found yet of the marriage but Artimisia Howard born 1856, Joseph Howard born 1858, unknown Howard born 1860, and Charles William Howard (My line) born 1863, and Marcus Howard born 1870. I have found Nancy and her 3 sons on the 1850 and 1860 census with children listed I have found Nancy in the 1840 census in Bath Co on Slate creek. I know there was a James Howard family that moved from Estill Station in 1797 and he claimed land there in Slate Creek area. Rather Nancy was married to one of his son, I haven't found any proof. James died in 1836 and one of his daughters was married to Able Morgan a son of Ralph Morgan. Any help find who the father of Nancy children were is appreciated. Bob Blankenship >> I can't help with the father of Nancy's children but I noticed there were NESTORS living with the Howards at times. In the 1870 Bath co. KY census I find that Marcus Howard age 46 b. ca. 1824 Matilda age 49 [nee Nestor] Josephine 20 Frederick Howard 14 Tilford 10 I can however, narrow your search for Nancy's husband to 1870 because she had Marcus in 1870 so he died about that time. Sory I couldn't help more but perhaps someone will be able to help now. Blessings! Vivian
