Does anyone know whether WILLIAM HOWARD, who performed so many early marriages in Monroe County, was a minister or justice of the peace? Baptist or Methodist? Might this WILLIAM HOWARD have been the same one who settled on East Fork Creek, reputedly built the "Old Brick" house, and subsequently freed his slaves (1846)? thanks, Charles R.
