Message From The President….

Now that the first Howard Family Association (HFA) Newsletter is out, we can now show everyone what the HFA is all about. Hopefully, there will be beneficial information for some of you.
The HFA is growing daily and we hope to grow information wise. The important thing to remember is this is the HFA Members Association, NOT mine, NOT the HFA Officers or Committee Leaders. We only try to organize the Association. We welcome any input that you may have. So, send any ideas or comments to me by e-mail (Ric.Howard@howard-family.com) or snail mail.( 10857 Amherst Ave. #302 , Wheaton , MD 20902 ) and I will bring it up in the Executive Meeting.
The plan is to get enough members to enable us to get discounts from businesses just by showing the HFA Membership Card. We are far from that point right now, but growing rapidly.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the HFA Officers, Committee Leaders, and Committee Members for their time and hard work in getting the HFA going. And a special thanks to Ramonyca Howard for her assistance in multiple areas. Also, a special thanks to our HFA Newsletter Editor, Jen Bailey; our Volunteer Coordinator, Robin Howard Lowery; our Family Historian, Nancy Ford Howard; and our Membership Coordinator, Patricia Laird Howard; for their hard work and dedication.
In ending, I hope you all enjoy the first HFA Newsletter, which is being given to anyone as a complimentary copy. Lets make this the biggest Howard Family that we can and help one another in our research.
Thank You, Ric Howard Howard Family Association, President/Webmaster Ric.Howard@howard-family.com http://www.Howard-Family-Assoc.org

Note from the Editor…..

Hello all,
I am hoping that our first endeavor to create a informative and useful newsletter has been successful. I would like to thank the Newsletter Staff; Judy, Paula, Shay, and Dana; for all their hard work and time in helping me put it together. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see in the newsletter, please don’t hesitate to write. The newsletter is so that the HFA can keep you, the members, informed on what’s going on within the Association and hopefully to help you find connections with others researching your Howard lines. The HFA Quarterly News will be sent out via e-mail unless otherwise stated by HFA member. If you wish for a hard copy of the newsletter, please send a note to me at < bailey@initco.net > with your name and postal address. This first issue is a complimentary issue and will be sent to all those who ask. For additional newsletters, you must be a member.
Thank you,

Greetings! As the Family Historian, I'm gathering Howard family records in GEDCOM form so please be aware of this when you start sending your information to me. Instead of sending it via e-mail, please save it to a disk and drop it in the mail. It'll take up less space on my hard drive that way. My snail mail address is below. Please include a hard copy, i.e., Family Group Sheets, that'd be just dandy, too. Also, please be as clear as possible as to where your family is from. I may have Howard's from VA, AL, GA and IA all represented (with the same names) but won't have a clue as to who goes with who. <G> Well, that's all for this issue. I'd love to hear from y'all so drop me a line anytime! Nancy Howard Ford, HFA Family Historian 1736 Oak Haven Drive, SW Marietta , GA 30008-4340

~ Down Memory Lane ~
If you have a Howard Family Story or any other interesting items concerning a Howard Family please send to Dana Rambler at dana@ramblernet.com.

Compiled by Dana Rambler--
This column has been created to publish interesting stories about "Howards". As this is the debut of this article, as well as, not having received submissions for this article I will be attempting to entertain you with my own version of Down Memory Lane .
Upon the realization that I may be writing this column I began to research famous or interesting people with the surname Howard. To my surprise, or maybe because I had never been a big fan, I found that The Three Stooges, three of the originals, are Howards. Moe, Shemp and a later addition Curly are brothers. There were two other brothers who were not in show business.
In researching these comedians I learned a lot about the field of comedy and the individuals of this particular family. I wondered briefly what it would be like to find that I was a descendant of these Howard brothers. I think many genealogists begin with the fantasy of finding they are related to someone famous or well known. My first thought was no thank you, not these guys. I have now learned that this was a shallow response based solely on the known public persona.
The Three Stooges starred in over 200 two-reelers over a 24-year period. This is listed as the longest running film series of all time. The first Three Stooges consisted of Moe, Shemp and Larry Fine. Shemp, after the first film left the group and went out on his own. Curly joined Moe and Larry to become the most famous trio of the Three Stooges. Through the years for various reasons there would be a number of others who would replace one of three.
As often happens in genealogy research I found that the infamous Howard brothers were not actually Howards at all. As this may be disappointing to some, do not despair. All of the descendants from the brothers carry the Howard surname. Oftentimes family names may change several times over generations for reasons unknown to those who follow later.
Moe Howard was born Moses Harry Horwitz, June 19, 1897 in Bensonhurst , New York . Moe never completed his high school education. He attended a trade school to train as an electrician, but his love of the stage was his call. He married Helen Schonberger, June 7, 1925 , known to be a cousin to Harry Houdini. They had two children, Joan and Paul. Moe died May 4, 1975 at 78 years of age. Moe's autobiography, originally titled "I Stooged to Conquer", retitled "Moe Howard & The Three Stooges", was completed and published by his widow and children in 1977. He is buried in Hillside Memorial Park in Los Angeles , CA in an outdoor mausoleum. The marker reads only Moses Howard 1897-1975.
Shemp Howard was born Samuel Horwitz, March 17, 1895 in Brooklyn , New York . He too did not complete his education and attended the same trade school as Moe to train as a plumber but felt the call of the footlights. When Shemp decided to go it alone, not as a Stooge, it is said that his true talent emerged. It is written that he was a truly excellent comedian though stifled when part of the Three Stooges. He did quite well alone and only speculation will ever predict just how much he may have achieved. Due to Curly's health problems, Moe asked Shemp to return to the Stooge trio as Curly's replacement, which he did. He married Gertrude "Babe" Frank in 1925. They had one son, Morton in 1927. On November 23, 1955 Shemp went to a boxing event with a close friend. Afterwards in the taxi ride home Shemp sits back, lights a cigar then falls over into his friends lap dead of a heart attack. He was sixty years old. After his death four old films were released with a few new scenes added using Shemp’s double (whose face is never seen) each being given new titles. He is buried in Home of Peace Memorial Park in Los Angeles , CA in the main mausoleum. The marker is in the name Shemp Howard rather than the given name of Samuel.
Curly Howard was born Jerome Horwitz, October 22, 1903 in Bath Beach , Brooklyn , New York . He is considered the most liked of the three. Curly joined the Three Stooges when Shemp decided to go it alone. As his role he was asked to shave off a full head of curly hair, hence the nickname, and a mustache that he was quite attached to. He was known to remark numerous times over the years that he felt as though he had been stripped of his masculinity and looked like a child without hair. He was known to always wear a hat in public. There are varying accounts of Curly’s personality, most leading to a trouble man. He was married four times, the first annulled after six months due to his mothers insistence that he was too young. The name of his first wife is a mystery to this very day. Curly married Elaine Ackerman in 1937. They had a daughter, Marilyn in 1938. They divorced July 11, 1940 . He then married Marion Buxbaum October 17, 1945 at the urging of Moe who was concerned about Curly's detrimental lifestyle. Three months later, January 4, 1946 , after constant arguments and unending problems Curly filed for divorce. It was to be a scandalous divorce over eight months with Marion fighting to take everything. It is written that she married Curly simply to take advantage of him and did so at a very high price. Curly's off-screen drinking habits, reinforced by his marital problems, began impairing his health during the 40's. Curly's last film as a Stooge was a remake of Hoi Polloi, entitled Half Wits Holiday (1946). He suffered a stroke during the filming of this movie. He married Valerie Newman, July 31, 1947 , who was said to be the best thing that ever happened for Curly. She nursed Curly twenty four hours a day during their years together and despite his health problems they had a daughter named Janie. Curly made a brief appearance in Hold That Lion with Moe, Shemp and Larry in 1947. This would prove to be his last screen appearance. He died January 18, 1952 at 48 years old. Curly is also buried in Home of Peace Memorial Park in Los Angeles , CA , in a marked grave in the furthest back corner of the cemetery. The name on the tombstone is Jerome Howard. There is a large marker in front of Curly's grave with Horwitz on it and the names of the Stooges parents, Jennie and Samuel.
Note that Moe, Shemp and Curly all lived and are buried as Howards. Somewhere out there are descendants of these well known comedians, maybe even someone reading this article now. But should you not be one of them, be comforted in the knowledge that there are many Howard's through history who have their own special forms of notoriety.
I make an appeal to those who do have stories, the most simple to the most elaborate, about their Howard ancestors, please consider sending these stories to me for future publications of Down Memory Lane.
Until next time... Dana

· Looking for John and Mary or Margaret (?Curlee) HOWARD that supposed to have died in Memphis, Tennessee 1878/79 during the Yellow Fever Epidemic leaving one child, my grandfather, Edward Paul HOWARD age about 6 or 7. I do not know of any more children. Edward Paul HOWARD was suppose to have gone to live with his grandfather HOWARD in Middle Tennessee. After his grandfather’s death he was suppose to have gone to Arkansas to live with a brother of his father’s. After over 30 years of searching Edward Paul HOWARD has never been located on an 1880 census anywhere. He first appears on the 1900 Lafayette Co, Ms census, this is after he is already married. His grandmother could have been a DORKAS. One uncle has been found William married Amelia Hungerford in Memphis , Tennessee in 1858 and lived in and around Atoka , Tennessee . Please help! Contact Paula Howard Thompson < pj@apex.net >

· My father was Ernest Augustine HOWARD, b Jan 19, 1918 in Brooklyn , NY . He married Juliet Amelia Irene SMITH on June 10, 1937 . He passed away in Richmond , Va. on April 2, 1981 . He had two younger brothers, Theodore Heinroth HOWARD and Francis Townsend Brewster HOWARD. Their father was Ernest Augustine HOWARD, b July 9, 1890 I believe in New York City . He married Marie E. HEINROTH on April 29, 1916 in Brooklyn or NYC. He died young of appendicitis on April 18, 1925 in Brooklyn . Ernest, Sr.’s father was Frank HOWARD who married Mary Peace. There were 6 children: Francis Townsend Brewster HOWARD b 20 April 1883 in England , George HOWARD b 8 Feb 1885 in England , Louise HOWARD b 1 Nov 1887 in NYC, Ernest, Sr. b 9 July 1890 , William F., b May 1894, and Russell b 1 Aug 1896 . In the 1900 census, Mary states she has 3 children with 3 living! I know for certain she was Ernest’s mother from my grandmother’s diary. I am wondering if Frank, George, and Louise are children from a first marriage. If so to whom? Mary died May 28, 1941 in Queens , NY . Can anyone tell me if Frank HOWARD’s name is actually Frank Townsend Brewster HOWARD, Sr.? If so, was he from England or Ireland ? Who was his first wife? Who were his parents?

· I am looking for the ancestry of Clarissa Amelia HOWARD. I have very little on her early life. Poss. Bro.: John HOWARD, b. 1814 in NY, d. after 1860 when he was listed with the NELSON family in the WI census. No further. Clarissa Amelia, b. 21 Feb 1818 Madison Co., NY., m. 18 Apr 1838 William H.

Aft 1850 when she was listed in the census with the NELSON family in the WI census. No further. There Was a John HOWARD in Madison Co. who may have been the right age to be the father of these three, but his will/probate heirs’ names don’t match. I have tried resources in Madison Co. with no luck, and have tried several people over the Internet. I found a couple of people who might be related, but we have far too little information to even consider how close the relation might be. I’ve been stuck on these for quite a while. Thank you.

· Searching for information about James HOWARD and wife Mary GOSS who Married probably in Alabama and were on the 1850 & 1860 census for Shelby Co., Alabama . In 1870 they were on the Winston Co., Alabama census and then Moved to Lawrence Co., TN and were there on the 1880 census. They had a huge family and names of the children are: Martha, Sarah, Hiram, Mary, Tobitha, James, Mahala, William, Benj., Holly, John, Marion, Lucinda, P.C., Lucy Ann. The only problem is that my husband's great-great grandmother was Mary Delilah Howard and her death record says that her parents were James Howard and Mary Goss. Her birth took place around 1860. There were many errors on the Census records and we are still sorting them out to account for Mary. If anyone out there recognizes any of these names, I would love to hear From you. My husband's grandmother, Susie Virginia MCDOW GRUBER was the Daughter of Marion Radway MCDOW and Mary Delilah HOWARD.> I understand that 3 HOWARD boys married 3 GOSS sisters. Anyone out there have information on this? Thank you so much.

· I would appreciate some advice on obtaining information on the following members of the Howard family: Henry Wentworth of Codham Hall, Wethersfield , County Essex , England , and Elizabeth Howard, the daughter and sole heir of Henry Howard, second son of Sir John Howard. Henry also had a second marriage to JANE FITZ SIMON, the daughter and heir of Henry Fitz Simon. (Whether Jane had a previous marriage to Henry, I don't know.) Jane survived Henry, who died 22 Mar 1482/83 , and married Sir Richard Fitz Lewes, Knight, of West Horndon , County Essex , whose Last Will she proved 24 Nov 1529 . Henry and his second wife, Jane, had only one child: NICHOLAS WENTWORTH, the ancestor of the Wentworths of counties Oxford , Bucks, Northampton , Warwick and Lincoln. Henry and his first wife, Elizabeth, had children: 1. Roger Wentworth. 2. Henry Wentworth: whose Will dated 16 Nov 1510 was proved 6 February following and was evidently unmarried and buried in the chancel of St. Olave in the Old Jewry, London . 3. Thomas Wentworth: who proved his brother Henry's Last Will, but of whom nothing else is known. 4. William Wentworth: who also proved his brother Henry's Last Will in 1510/11. He had a license 15 Apr 1524 to marry Margaret Bendish of Steeple Bumstead, County Essex , but no further trace of him has been found. 5. Robert Wentworth: who was living 1539/40. 6. MARGERY WENTWORTH, (this is my ancestor....) I keep hitting dead ends when I try to search, and I know that I am missing something, probably a simple link (which is difficult to do without exact dates for Elizabeth, Henry and John Howard...)
