These volunteers are volunteering their time and knowledge to help all Howard Family Association Members with assistance and information to help with their research. If not for these volunteers, there would not be a Howard Family Association. They have all worked hard to make your research a little easier. I would like to thank each and every one of them for a great job they are doing. We have all hoped for more volunteers, but we are happy we have any at all. There is so much to do and it makes it hard at times for the volunteers that we do have and they work so well under the pressure. Again, thank you volunteers for making HFA a success.

We would be happy to hear from others who could volunteer a few hours a month to help HFA be the Howard Family center for information. Please contact Robin Howard Lowery at Ml69camaro@aol.com to find out how you can volunteer. If we want to keep HFA going, we need the help. You can always contact me, if you have any questions. My email is always open.

 

We also want to remind everyone that the HFA Board meetings are open to all members of the HFA. HFA Board Meetings are held once a month on ICQ. If you have ICQ, please email Jen Bailey at < Membership@howard-family.com > your ICQ number and she will get your name added to the list.

Responsibilities of the Volunteer Committee

It is the Volunteer Committee’s responsibility to help find volunteers for positions open on all the committees of the HFA. 

*Report from the Volunteer Committee*

HFA would like to welcome Holli Kees to the Web Site and Newsletter Committee.
HFA is accepting board nominations for Vice President and Secretary. The
board is also accepting nominations for Reunion Coordinator and Fund Raising
Coordinator. These terms expire in September 2000. If you would like to
nominate a nominee (You may nominate yourself!) please send the name of the
nominee along with their name, address, and/or email address to

Nominations@howard-family.com.
The History Committee needs volunteers to begin collecting the Howard family

History@howard-family.com.  If you are interested in any other HFA volunteer opportunities, please contact Robin H. Lowery, Volunteer Coordinator, at

Volunteers@howard-family.com.

 

Responsibilities of the Web Site Committee:
The Web Site Committee Volunteers are assigned one or more committees to create and maintain the web pages for those committees. They work with the Committee Leader getting what information they would like to have posted there. The volunteer may create and modify the web pages in whatever application they choose and then email the HFA Webmaster the finished project to be uploaded (and linked when necessary) to the HFA Web Site.  Many volunteers are needed so that each Committee can have the necessary web pages created, maintained and updated when needed.

            *Report from the Web Site Committee*

The Web Site Committee has a new volunteer, Holli Boone Kees, whose first assignment is to work with the History Committee to get their web pages up on the HFA web site. The Web Site Committee is continuing to put the past issues of Ramonyca's Howard FE Newsletter up on the Internet for easy access for all Howard family researchers, when time permits.
Ric Howard

Responsibilities of the Membership Committee

The Membership Committee shall have the responsibility of maintaining membership records of the organization, and to find ways to attract new members.  Membership Committee Members shall be assigned different tasks to accomplish these goals.

*Report from the Membership Committee*

The HFA now has 167 active members. 

 

Responsibilities of the Newsletter Committee

Each Newsletter Committee Volunteer is assigned a section of the Newsletter, in which he or she will collect, compile and submit information to the editor for placement in the Newsletter.  The Newsletter is a quarterly publication in which HFA Members can share information with other HFA Members.  

*Note from the Editor— Those of you, who still need to send in your earliest known Howard ancestor information, please do so as soon as possible. I would also like to mention the idea of putting up a web page on the HFA Web Site in the Members Only Section, that will list everyone’s “Earliest Known Howard Ancestor”.  It will include your name, information, and contact information.  If you would like to have this done but do not want you email or postal address listed, members can contact you through me.  Please share your thoughts on this idea. I would also like to invite all members to send in their comments and suggestions on the HFAQN.  This will help us to serve your needs better and give us a chance to hear what you would like to see added to the newsletter or

what improvements can be made.  Those of you who receive the HFAQN through the postal mail, who wish to submit anything to the newsletter, you can send them to me, Jen Bailey, at 821 47^th Street South, Great Falls, MT  59405-5723.

The Howard Family Association Annual Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. on June 23–25, 2000. We are planning a trip to the National Archives, among other things. More details to come at a later date. We need to see how many Howard family members would be able to attend. This will help us determine group rates for hotels, etc.

Anyone who is planning to attend should contact Ric Howard at Richard.Howard@howard-concepts.com.

We hope to see you all there.

 

Responsibilities of the History Committee

The History Committee volunteer may be asked to maintain files, organize family sheets, and keep a card index of all Howard descendants and their spouses. Also to compile and write biographical records, family histories and personal histories of Howard progenitors and descendants, and help with the Howard lineage book to be published by the family organization.

*Report from the History Committee*

The Howard Family Association has got the United State's State pages up in the Members Only section of the HFA web site (www.howard-family-assoc.org).  At the moment all we have for each state are addresses that you may be able to use to obtain information for your Howard Family Line. We are looking for members who would be willing to be 'Lookup Volunteers'. If you have materials pertaining to Howards in a certain state, which you are willing to do simple "lookups" for others, please e-mail me at History@howard-family.com to volunteer. Please state your name, e-mail address, and materials you have available for lookups (please specify state page the materials will need to be on as well).  Canadian pages will be coming soon.

Responsibilities of the Fundraising Committee

The Fund-Raising Committee is responsible for generating ideas to raise funds for the Association expenses. Once the fund-raising activities have been agreed upon this committee will coordinate and implement the various projects.

 

 

*Report from the Fundraising Committee*

We still have a FEW cookbooks left.  They will be sold on a ‘first come’ basis.  To order a cookbook, please use the order form on page 20.  We would like to thank everyone who sent in recipes, without you, we wouldn’t have this great cookbook.  Hurry and place your order today.

Lewis Whitfield Howard was a Lt. in the Civil War and was wounded at Petersburg on June 21, 1864. Shot in the leg, his horse killed, he was able to return to Hampstead/Grovedere Plantation, and married Rachel Mallard and had the following children: My grandfather , Bernard, Hester
Elizabeth, Mary Lillian, James (Jim), and Elma.
Lewis W. Howard was a graduate , Lawyer, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, graduating in 1858, just before the war. His oldest son Bernard was 13 as his daddy died. Rachel Mallard was 21, and Lewis 49 at their marriage in "Grant" Township after the war. This was
later changed back to Topsail Township, as the "Yankees" left and went back home up north......
Below is a memorandum from Robert E. Lee , Gen. and sent to Hon. James A. Seddon,  Secretary of War, about the action in and around Petersburg Va.  I had seen this and knew that my Great Grandfather, Lewis W. Howard, had been wounded on the 21.  I noticed this memo was dated the June 22, 1864

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, June 22, 1864
Since Friday last there has been skirmishing along the lines in front of Bermuda Hundred and around Petersburg. The Federal army appearzx to be concentrated at these two places, and is strongly intrenched. Yesterday a movement of infantry, cavalry and artillery was made toward the right of our forces at Petersburg, in the direction of the Weldon Railroad. The enemy was driven back, and his infantry is reported to have halted. His cavalry have continued to advance upon the
road by the route further removed from our position. The enemy’s infantry was attacked this afternoon, on the west side of the Jerusalem Plank Road, and driven from his first line of works to his second on that road, by General Mahone with a part of his division. About sixteen hundred
prisoners, four pieces of artillery, eight stand of colors and a large number of small arms were captured.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
R.E. LEE, General
HON. JAMES A. SEDDON, Secretary of War.

=+=Obituary:
Emma Howard, daughter of Harold, was born February 16, 1868, in Peoria, Ks.  On March 14, 1883, she was married to Thomas McDowell at Peoria, Ks. To this union, six children were born, all of whom survive their mother.
About 45 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. McDowell moved to a farm 18 miles northwest of Alva, OK. This remained Mrs. McDowell's home until the time of her passing, which occurred on December 8, 1914. She had been ill about a week.  Many years ago, Mrs. McDowell became a member of the Methodist church.
At the time of her passing she ha lived 76 years, 9 months and 22 days.  Among those who mourn her departure are the husband; the six children; Mrs. Florence Dickey, Kiowa, Ks; Mrs. Nellie McCorkle, Bristol, Colo; Mrs. Lorena Nicola, Alva, Ok; Mrs. Ollie Welch, Alva, Ok; Mrs. Minnie Hutchinson, Alva, Ok; Sgt. Harold McDowell, who is overseas; twelve grandchildren; four great-grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Oakes, Alva, Ok and Mrs. Nellie Lowe, Fontana, Ks.  We take this means of expressing our gratitude to our friends for their kindness and consideration shown during the illness and at the death of our loved one, The McDowell Family.

=+="Death of Harold Howard"
H. Howard, and aged and respected farmer of Osage Twp. died Friday evening, September 10, 1909 at the home one mile northwest of Fontana.  He had been in failing health for several years and the morning of his death was taken suddenly ill. His ailment was Bright's disease.  Mr. Howard was born in New York State in 1830. In 1842 he removed with his parents (John Jay and Lydia Howard) to Kalamazoo, Michigan, and ten years later, during the gold excitement in California, in a wagon train of forty wagons and 150 people, he made the trip, which required seventy-five days. He remained in California almost three years, returning by way of the Isthmus of Panama to New York and west to St. Louis by rail, and from St. Louis to Leavenworth by boat in 1855. He remained in that vicinity several years, engaging in various occupations and eventually purchased and operated a saw mill on the Marquis des Cygnes river at old Peoria City, from where he came to this county about twenty five years ago and purchased the D.H. Cooper farm, where he spent his remaining years.
Mr. Howard was a quiet, unassuming man, who took an interest in his farm and in all public affairs. He was a kind husband and father and a faithful Christian. With his wife he is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. Arthur Lowe of Osage twp., Clarence in Idaho and Mrs. Thomas McDowell and Mrs. Oaks in Oklahoma. The funeral services were held from the residence. The remains were buried in the Fontana cemetery Sunday.

=+= I live in Johnson County, Missouri.  In eastern Johnson County there is the town of Knob Noster.  In the city cemetery, at Knob Noster, I noted the following grave markers of Howards from Marshall County, WV.  The four-sided marker lists the following info: 

JNO. J. Howard Born 2/17/1846 in Marshall Co, W Va. Died 5/5/1893.

Josie E. Howard Born 5/28/48 in Marshall Co, W Va. Died 3/12/1880 in Knob Noster.

Jackson Blair, son of JNO and Josie Howard, Born 6/30/1872 in Leavenworth, Ks. Died 10/2/1910.

John Willie Howard Born 4/30/1874 in Knob Noster.  There is no death date indicated for John.

I’m not researching this family but thought it wouldn’t hurt to pass this on. If anyone needs lookups done in this area, I would be glad to help.

=+=A SHORT HISTORY OF HAMPSTEAD, AND SURROUNDING....

Virginia Creek and the area surrounding that area being developed by "Pelican Reef" on beautiful Virginia Creek, was not always called by those names. This part of Topsail Sound was granted to a man identified only as "Frederick" in 1728. About the same time a Richard Nixon was getting a land grant on those portions south . This was a year before the area was deemed to be located in New Hanover County. Frederick lived on the approximately 300 acres and sold it to a Thomas Merrick in 1737. Both deeds are still on file in the old records of the New Hanover County Registrar of Deeds office in Wilmington. 
A James Howard, and wife Hester Moore Howard, bought 203 acres from Thomas Merrick on the creek by deed in 1762 and it name was changed sometime during his 35 year tenure of the  property. This was the same James Howard, who during the Revolutionary War, served as a paymaster for the Continental Troops. He was a major in the Continental Militia.  This James Howard and Hester Moore Howard, were the parents of James Whitfield Howard who bought  three tracts of land...a total of 1525 acres....that today encompass all that is called Hampstead N.C. in 1835.  This land, and surrounding, had been land granted to a Richard Nixon in 1728 . The first tract, beginning over to the north at Campbell Creek, was a smaller part deemed "Old Grovedere" and originally owned by a Campbell. The second and middle of the three tracts was at old Mobson Road, today Factory and Peanut Roads. Near the center was the Mobson Plantation. The third tract was to the south and called "The Ennett Plantation, and bordered today’s Deerfield", and part of it.  James W. Howard lived on the three combined tracts, now called Grovedere Plantation , for many years until his death in 1837. He also still owned some property near Virginia Creek, and on "Wolvin Ridge" by inheritance. His father having purchased the Wolvin Ridge property from the McClammy brothers, neighbors at the time.... James  Whitfield Howard had but two boys. One was Robert James Howard, who married a Margaret Nixon, and the two of them lived on a large portion of what is today the Belvedere, and Olde Point Golf courses.
The second son was Lewis Whitfield Howard, who married Rachel Mallard, and settled and lived where his father first lived. Today, Factory Landing overlooks Howards Landing and Howards Channel. There were three plantation homes located on the sound, overlooking the Howard Channel . The first built by James W......burned during or right after the civil war. The second built by Lewis W., and a third that was torn down, as the Hunnicutt family built there on the same location.  Grovedere ran from the "low water mark to the run of the bay", from Campbell Creek to about the Deerfield property and then some.  The area of Hampstead, today, was first settled by mostly Onslow County families early on : Batts, Batson, Howard, Nixon , Ennett, McClammy........and some later such as the Sidbury et. al. ......As you continue southwestward about this time you find......Nixon, Foy, Jonathon, and Soloman Ogden, and et. al.  Bordering Pelican Reef....Freedericks' Creek property was the old Ashe property that was granted to a member of the Baptista Ashe Family, also in 1727-28. The old house still stands and has been declared one of the oldest houses still standing in North Carolina.
The house was sold several years later to a Baptist Minister from Lenoir Co., Lewis Whitfield. He settled his oldest daughter Rachel Whitfield on the property and she married a Wright whose daughter married "old" Dougal McMillan.   Many still remember fondly Miss Nellie and Janie  McMillan. Old Mr. Dougal McMillan founded the first Presbyterian Church in Topsail, the only church for man years. Most here at the time were of that faith. Later, a large Mormon  congregation was established. The Howards were Presbyterian prior to the founding the  Pentecostal Holiness Church in 1904, and as it failed, Rachel Mallard Howard, took back the property and building, and the first Methodist church was built in 1929. The Howard Cemetery is still located at the original location, as the Methodist Church has been sold and relocated. The Cemetery is now the property of the Hampstead United Methodist Church, and like the older Mormon Cemetery, is a protected and registered cemetery.
By 1892 the Weldon railroad spur had been finished from Wilmington to Jacksonville and by 1893 to Pollocksville and New Bern. The railroad placed English names on the many stops along tracks: Hampstead, Annandale, Folkston, Edgecombe and others....The first property holders in this area were of English descent, who came down from Virginia, along with people from Bertie, Craven and Onslow Co's.  Many came to this country to get away from the rebellion of the "Round Heads", during the Cromwell versus the Crown and Catholic Church Disputes. Most were loyal to the King of England and left to come to the New World to escape all of the turmoil of the time.  We were Farmers and Fishermen.... In the beginning we were Protestant, and all  worshiped the one God....We were materially poor....and family rich. We were secure, in a place where the water and air were clean....
Saying that the name was not given in early years could sum up the total genealogy of Hampstead proper. We find it in use in 1835. However the land is of much interest...being PART of an earlier patent to Richard Nixon 1728. 

500 acres 64.... Francis McIlwean and his wife Mary, formerly Mary Nixon, daughter of Richard Nixon to Charles Hollingsworth. 

390 acres 1778...Charles Hollingsworth to Norman Harrison Chevers and David Forbes. 505 acres...1829 Henry B. Howard to Alexander Anderson 

505 acres...1832 Ed Dudley and A. Anderson, assignees of Henry B Howard to Moses Westbrook

505 acres 1835...Moses Westbrook to James W. Howard for 4500.00

5 tracts "A plantation call Grovedere" ...Hampstead today, and more. .... James Howard younger son Lewis Whitfield son inherited the property later on, and Lewis Howards sons Bernard Howard, and James (Jim) eventually held what was left at their maturity...Elmore Howard son of James Howard, and Joe G. Howard, grandson of Bernard, have since sold into the development called Forest Sound. Prior Howard Simmons Sr. son of Hester Elizabeth Howard Simmons, had sold parts, and The properties located south of Grovedere on the sound were sold by her son Howard Simmons Sr. , to Mr. Hampton Lea Sr. in the early 1900`s as the Lea family had arrived from Southport, where they were tenant fishermen, cominging originally from Charleston S.C. ... The property did include from Campbell creek.... to and part of Deerfield development....from the "low water Mark", to the "run of the bay. 1525 acres. Much has been sold over the years by Bernard Howard heirs....James and heirs ...and Hester Howard Simmons, and heirs...
Thanks all you Howards out there......see if you can plug in to us along our way......... and thank you Jen Bailey.....

Ø       Looking for ancestors of Abraham Howard, b. 8 Mar 1811 in PA, married Mary Ann Darr b. 3 Dec 1823 in PA.  Moved family to DeSoto, Jackson Co., IL.  Abraham died 10 Mar 1886 and Mary died 3 Jul 1908.  Children: David married Martha Shirley, Peter married Mary Ann Williams, Phillip married Emma Hurst, Sara married John William Gosnell, John married Maggie McClain, Henry married Minnie Belle King/Crew, and Catherine married John William Murray.

Ø       Looking for any information on Martha Savannah Howard b.1840 Alabama d.aft 1873 Texas married John M. Honea/Honey, Sr. 15 Jan 1856 Cherokee Co., Tx. Also married (dates) unknown: Bill/William Cavander. Seeking her parents, siblings, place of death, place of birth and any other information you might have on her.   Thanks,
CONTACT:  Holli Boone Kees < HKees@aol.com >

Ø       I descend from John E. HOWARD of New York and Michigan: John J. (Jay) > Harold > Nellie.  Am just starting; is there anyone in the association that is also of this line??
CONTACT:  Pam Gazlay < pamela@multipro.com >

Ø      My great-great grandfather was Abraham Howard born 8 March 1811 (believed to be in Westmoreland County, PA).  First records I have been able to locate are census for 1850, which showed he was in Westmoreland County.  About 1863, he moved his family or younger part of it, to Jackson County in Illinois.  If anyone has information on this family or is interested in a listing of children, etc. please contact me.

CONTACT:  Sharon Burnes < rlb225@aol.com >

 

Ø       My Great Grandfather John Maney Honea, JR. married Mary Cathren Molly Melvina Kiser.  John’s parents names were: John Honey SR. and Martha Savannah Howard.  Molly’s parents names were Benjamin Kizer and Mary Howard.  Now to top the story off…Mary had a daughter named Savannah Lee Kizer…Martha had a daughter named Savannah Susie Honea…coincidence?  I don’t think so…Martha was born in 1840…while Mary was born in 1848.  I’m assuming that they were probably sisters, maybe cousins of some sort.  But I’ve yet to find any Howards that have daughters born about that time.  I know that Martha married in 1856 in Cherokee County…but I’ve yet to find any Howards in the area that match.  When Mary and Benjamin died…Jake Bouseman took two of the three orphans of theirs…leaving Savannah with another family…strange huh?  Well that’s my heritage on the Howard’s.  My hardest line to date so far…and I’m doing over 100 surnames each one with a database of their own.  If you have any information, please contact me.

Ø       I have been told, or heard that James Howard who arrived in Nansemond Co. in Virginia in the 1600’s, and was married later to Sarah Titus, daughter of Thomas Titus also of Nansemond Co., and had given much land to his son-in-law and daughter, before they moved to Bertie Co., N.C. ….. born of this marriage were, in order: James, Sarah, Edward, Samuell, John, and Solomon (the younger Solomon, inherited the Bertie Co. property on Cooneriscritt and Ahorsky Swamps area ….. today called Ahoskie N.C.)  My John came to Onslow Co. in 1742 ….. His two older brothers ….. James, and Edward had already arrived in Onslow.  And ………. etc.  Does anyone out there know who was the father for sure of James Howard, who married Sarah Titus ….. and anything about James other than what I mentioned above ….. I sure would be appreciative ….. Was it Thomas?? And if so ….. which Thomas was it ….. the father, son or grandfather ….. ??  Thanks all …..
