I think it is our William Howe that I've located in Claiborne Co., TN / Tazewell near Bryson Gibson and a couple of other interesting names in 1830 or 1840 and then appears to be in Lee Co., VA just before going to Ohio. Andrew Roberts was married to Polly (Mary) Howe in 1834 in Hawkins Co., went to Ohio then Nodaway Co., MO by 1870. Mary/Polly died very old and death cert says she was born in Tazewell, TN. William Howe is not an easy name to pidgenhole... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
