This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Howard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/6070 Message Board Post: I have had several people contact me with reference to Plara Howard of Franklinville. The question is what, if any, relation is he to Theophilus Howard (and his wife Mary) of Franklinville. Plara is found in the 1850 Federal census for New York State, Cattaraugus County, Town of Franklinville, with the following household composition: Plara Howard, 35, farmer, $1,500 in real estate, born in VT Eliza A., 33, born in New York State Eliza _, 7, born in New York State Samuel P., 5, born in New York State Alfred _, 3, born in New York State Lewis B., 1, born in New York State There are two major factors that suggest Plara is not a child of Theophilus and Mary's. First, there is no remaining "slot" for a child (either male or female) born in 1815 in Theophilus's household as reported in the 1820 and 1830 Federal census manuscripts. Second, in 1815 Mary and Theophilus resided in Schoharie County, New York, not in Vermont where Plara appears to have been born. While conceivable that Mary gave birth in Vermont while visiting family or friends there, it is not probable that such an event occurred. (I tried to locate birth information on Plara in the Vermont Vital Records, but none was found for him.) Does anyone have information on who Plara's parents were? George W. Howard

An abstract of the Button Family Genealogy, with reference to the Jonas K. Button family of Franklinville, Cattaraugus Co., New York; Together with additions from my own research Florence Peet married the compiler’s great grandfather, Frederick Howard. Florence had a sister, Genevira Peet, who married Jonas K. Button, Jr. The Jonas K. Button families of Franklinville, Cattaraugus County, New York, were prominent. The compiler’s father, Richard Frederick Howard, owned a 53-acre parcel of real estate in the Town of Franklinville, which was purchased from the J.K. Button Estate. The compiler accordingly digresses from the Howard Genealogy to include some information about the Button families of Franklinville, New York. The following information, unless otherwise stated, comes from Button Families of America, complied by R. Glen Nye, edited by Katherine (Watson) Nye, 1971. The first generation in America: >From page 23: “Matthias Button Sr. the immigrant came to America with Governor John Endicott, landing at Salem, Mass. September 6, 1628. (Savage’s Gen. Dict.) “He was a son of Thomas Button of Harrold, Bedford Co., England. He was baptized there October 11, 1607. (Parish Records of Harrold). He died at Haverhill, Mass. August 13, 1672. (Haverhill Town Records.) He married (1st) Lettyce; (2nd) about 1639, Joanne, widow of John Thornton; (3rd)about 1649 Ann Teagle; and (4th)June 9, 1663 Elizabeth, daughter of John and Ann Wheeler of Newbury, Mass; she was born at Salsbury, England and died at Haverhill, Mass. July 16, 1690. [Text omitted.] “ * * * He must have been around 20 when he landed in America. His stay in Salem was brief; he soon removed to Boston, where he is found among the earliest settlers. He identified himself with the First Church of England sometime previous to 1633, and there at least two of his children were baptized. He removed thence to Ipswich, where he was a commoner in 1641 and thence in 1646 to Haverhilll, where he died. (Haverhill Town Records, Genealogical Register Vol. 6 page 246.) [Text omitted.] >From page 42: “He died intestate and the inventory of his estate Mar. 9, 1673 was only 99 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 d. exclusive of the 80 acres of land given to his wife, Elizabeth.” The second generation in America: “Children: “1.

The country at that time was almost a wilderness and they suffered the hardships of frontier life. Cattle were fed by browsing on felled trees. Children attended school in winter with only one full cloth for footwear and sometimes barefoot. The old homestead was occupied by himself and descendants for about 80 years.” Sixth generation in America: “Children: “1. Heman, born Aug. 11, 1802; died Oct. 18, 1811. “2.

Cheney of this place and Mrs. R. C. Bard of Port Allegany and the brother is J. K. Button, the youngest survivor of the family. “After leaving the farm several years since Mr. Button followed the business of a cattle buyer and was considered an expert in his line. He was a quiet, friendly man, generous to a fault, and among his associates will be deeply mourned.” The 1865 New York State census, Cattaraugus County, Town of Franklinville, 1st election district, page 6, line 1, dwelling 43, a wood dwelling worth $6,000, family 44, shows the following household composition: Jonas K. Button, 44, male, white, born in Cattaraugus County, married once, now married, farmer, native, owner of land Jane M. Button, 36, female, white, wife, born in Scotland, mother of 5 children, married once, now married Peter T.B. Button, 18, male, white, son, born in Cattaraugus County, single Mary T.B.

I located two biographical sketches related to the Button family in Franklinville, N.Y. In Pictures and Story. They follow. [at page 137:] “Jonas K. Button. “Jonas K. Button was born April 21, 1870. His father, Jonas K. Button, Sr., was one of the early settlers and most prominent citizens of Franklinville; he was a prosperous farmer, Member of Assembly, sole executor of the will of Judge Peter Ten Broeck, President of the Board of Trustees of Ten Broeck Academy from its building (which he supervised) until a few months prior to his death in 1884. “Jonas, Jr., attended Ten Broeck Academy, and later was interested in farming. At the age of twenty-two he was elected Supervisor of Franklinville, the youngest man ever elected to that office in this county, if not also the entire State. He was President of the village during 1910-11 and 12, during which time the sewer system was constructed. In 1893 Mr. Button was candidate for County Treasurer on the Democrat ticket, and received a majority in his home town which is normally a Republican stronghold. He was one of the organizers of the original electric light company in this village, vice president and director of the Fair Association for fifteen years, is a director in the Union National Bank, owns a fine farm of 325 acres, and is breeding registered Holstein-Friesian cattle. “Mr. Button married Miss Genevra E. Peet of Farmersville June 26, 1895.” I found Jonas and Genevra in the 1905 New York State census for Cattaraugus County, Town of Franklinville, 1st election district, at page 22, line 46, located on the Olean Road, with the following household composition: Button, Jay K., head, white, male, 35, born in the U.S., farmer Button, Genevia E., wife, 2hite, female, 36, born in the U.S., housework Huyck, George M., boarder, white, male, 29, born in the U.S., farm laborer Huyck, Flossie M., boarder, white, female, 28, born in the U.S., housework I found Jonas and Genevra in the 1925 New York State census, Cattaraugus County, Town of Franklinville, Village of Franklinville, election district 1, page 14 (page 316 of the microfilm roll), located at 6 Maple Avenue, line 23, with the following household composition: Button, Jonas K., head, white, male, 55, native of the U.S., citizen, farmer Button, Jenevra E., wife, white, female, 56, native of the U.S., citizen, housework [at page 38:] “Monroe G. Cheney “Monroe G. Cheney, was born on a farm in the town of Freedom, April 23, 1846. He graduated from Arcade Academy, and received the degree of Master of Arts from Syracuse University in 1870. He came directly to Franklinville, and for fourteen years was professor of science and mathematics in Ten Broeck Academy.
