This is the branch of my family that I know the least about. I am, however, pasting an Outline Descendant Tree for John Howard (my great grandfather) below. If anything looks familiar, please contact me as soon as possible as I am in the process of packing to move from VA to GA on 4/17/00, and will not be connected to the Internet for a while after the move.
