Jean, You probably have tried this, but I would be searching in Greene County too. All of my family is from the same area as the Howard's (grew up next to some of them). That community literally straddles the county land. In fact, our family joke is that we live in Greene County, but we like to go Chrisitian County when we die (all the cemeteries are across the line). Good luck, Brenda Jean Mayfield Cuevas <[email protected]> wrote:Good Morning, Once again, I will toss out the information on my grandmother's half-brother, Edward HOWARD, b. April 1885, Christian County, MO, hoping that perhaps we now have more HOWARD researchers. Edward HOWARD was the son of Henry Tate HOWARD and Mary Ann "Mollie" BEVERAGE. I have a photograph of him (and I believe that's the one that I sent to be put up on the Christian County photographic site) and his family, taken when he was a young man. He had three sons and a daughter at the time that the photograph was taken. I would think the photo to have been taken some where between 1915 and 1920. He had one full-blooded sibling, Arminta HOWARD, b. 1884, Christian County, MO. He was listed as living in the home of his mother and step-father (I believe it was in the 1900 census), but beyond that, I have found nothing more on him. Would love to hear from any of his descendants! Thanks! Jean Mayfield Cuevas ==== MOCHRIST Mailing List ==== Donations and volunteers being accepted now.
