Another Howard researcher has shown that Ziba Jr, son of the Rev. War Ziba and my probable ancestor, was on the Essex County NY cenus rolls consistently between 1800 and 1850, however, so I don't immediately see how your Ziba in Kentucky can be my line. Still, family data never ceases to surprise me. [On another line an ancestor born in Quebec who lived all his married days in VT wound up serving for Wisconsin in the Civil War. That was a stunner.] I suppose my Ziba Jr. could have made a side visit to KY. The names you mention among your Daniel's children certainly suggest a family tie. My Ziba Jr. definitely had a brother David killed at Plattsburgh NY in 1814. I'm going to direct my friend to your new info. Maybe he can help with the answers. As it happens, there were two or three Ziba Howards migrating out of Massachusetts and Vermont in this time period.
