Hello Ann, I have lots of info about the HOWERTER family. Cousins by the dozens have contacted me over the years and lots of info has been shared. Most all of what you have shared with me I already knew, but I thankyou ever so much for being so helpful. I have noticed your name often on the list and you are certainly a wealth of information. Where do you find it all?? However, the BAUGHMAN family is somewhat a mystery. I know how my line goes, but as yet have not found the connection to the Pennsylvania BAUGHMAN family. There are many other branches that I also have information about but cannot connect to at this time. The story goes that three brothers came from Germany or Switzerland, and one went north, one south, and one west. Such a mystery. I am posting my line below. Who knows, maybe you know something.
