I'm wondering if James Howard (my 5th great-grandfather) may have apprenticed as a shoemaker with Thomas Thompson (my 6th great-grandfather). James' son Charles Howard married Thomas' granddaughter Frances Ann "Panny" Thompson in 1800 in Washington county, Kentucky. I'm beginning to suspect Henry Howard (died before 24 Aug 1775) as the father of James. >From Judith Burger in 2002 MARYLAND CALENDAR OF WILLS, VOL 15, 1772-1774, Baldwin/Cotton, p. 30, FTMCD 206 Jerningham, Henry, St. Mary's Co., 19 Nov 1772 6 Jan 1773 .
