>Kathy, > Thank you for your response. I wish I knew the answers to your questions. You did not mention your Hardy Howard ever being in Barren or Monroe Counties. Researching the ministers made sense. Thank you for that suggestion. I looked on the Barren County GenWeb site under Barren County Land Grants to find the time frame of the ministers you mentioned. If William Howard was about 20 (just a presumption) in 1816 then he would be in his 40s when he married James P. CONKIN and Hannah H. DICKERSON making him a good candidate for being the brother of Harriet HOWARD. Rev. John Longdon, - I think the listing below may be the same man. Logsdon Jno 200 22 6-27-1804 Green River Rev. John Mulkey, - Mulkey John 50 P 4-21-1819 None Rev. Jacob Chism.... - Chism Jacob 50 A 1- 9-1816 Gills Creek Wiliam Howard, - Perhaps the William Howard referred to below are two different men - two different generations. Howard William 100 B 3- 8-1816 Fk Big Howard Wm 200 5 9- 1-1799 E Fk Big River Howard Christopher 150 7 11- 9-1804 E Fk Big River Rev. Philip Mulkey - Mulkey Philip 76 23 3- 7-1808 Mill Creek I found Harriet Howard when I was researching my Hannah H. DICKERSON line. Hannah was born about 1825 in Kentucky and died in 1904 in Gainesville, Ozark County, Missouri. At this point, I do not know who Hannah's parents are. When I found a marriage on the Barren County GenWeb site for a "DICKESON, James to HOWARD, not given, 30 Jan 1816," I checked Rootsweb World Connect database and found a file which indicated the "HOWARD, not given" was a Harriet HOWARD and the DICKESON (sp?), James was James DICKERSON, son of Solomon DICKERSON. Now I never take World Connect files as gospel, but I figure if the person who listed the information found that information, then so can I - if I can't then I go back to ground zero. The interesting thing about this find and what makes it plausible in my research is James Patterson CONKIN and Hannah H. DICKERSON named their first child, a daughter, HARRIET CONKIN, born 28 July, 1839 in Kentucky. This could mean that Hannah was following a normal naming pattern of naming her first daughter after her mother. Also Hannah's middle initial is H. which could stand for Harriet (her mother) or Holland the maiden name of her great grandmother, Hannah HOLLAND who was married to Surratt DICKERSON. Now if William HOWARD is the father or brother of Harriet HOWARD Dickerson (she married in 1816 so she was probably about 20 years old), it would make sense for him to marry his niece or granddaughter. Are any of you researching these families? Any help would be very much appreciated. One last tidbit on the Dickerson Family: | 18-03-1835 | Hix James | Dickerson Mary R | Howard, William | Maybe Hannah and Mary are sisters. Thanks again for any help.
