We have grown to 150 members and still going. We have around 25
volunteers, which includes our HFA Officers and Committee Leaders. I have to
admit that not all of our volunteers are active. I wish to thank all of the
volunteers that have given us their hard work
and time to make the Howard Family Association the success it is today. I
want to mention a few that have done an extraordinary job and their
dedication to HFA.
Robin Howard Lowery for recruiting and placing volunteers and for the
upcoming HFA Cookbook she is working on.
Jen Bailey for taking over the Membership Chairperson position and the
fantastic job her and the Newsletter committee has done on the Quarterly
Newsletter along with: Judy Howard, Dana Rambler, Paula H. Thompson, and
Shay Turner.
Job well done to all of them. We always welcome anyone who wants to
volunteer for a couple of hours a month. When everyone works together, it
goes very smooth for all.
We are looking at getting new membership cards that will be lifetime
membership. We will continue to have NO MEMBERSHIP DUES for lifetime
membership. We still accept donations.
In the last Newsletter, I mentioned some ideas we had for the Howard Family
Association, but that is where it stopped. We don't know what the members
want or expect unless you tell us. Please feel free to make any comments,
good or bad, to us so that we can continue to improve the Howard Family
Association.
Thank You,

My earliest known ancestor is Minson Brough Howard born 15 January 1764
and died 20 December 1829 in Sampson County, North Carolina; married (1)
ca1788 probably in Sampson County, North Carolina to Ann Williams, daughter
of John “She” Williams and Katherine “Kate” Carouth; married ca1797
to Dorcas White.
Comments: Minson's father is believed to be Thomas Howard. As there were
several Thomas Howards in NC at that time, it is yet to be determined which
one is the father of Minson. It is also suspected that Brough is a family
name, most likely on his mother's side. I have found info that suggests that
a daughter of Coleman Brough (of Virginia) married Thomas Howard, though
those dates do not coincide with MInson's father Thomas Howard. I am
wondering if perhaps my Thomas was the son of Thomas Howard Sr and Unknown
Brough.

Sampson County, North Carolina, USA. and died 20 Nov 1897 (buried in
Northport, Alabama, USA.); no marriage date but a son was born Nov 1820 so

was.He married Nancy Ann Lee

that Nancy Ann Lee is somehow related to Robert E. Lee of Civil war fame.
We're trying to corroborate that legend now. I know very little about the
Howard line here. Angus' father was James Howard but we know virtually
nothing about him. I'd love to find out more information on him.

*Looking for information on John S. Howard, born 1809, in
Virginia, son of John Baker Howard and Mary Semones. In 1850, John S. is in
the Buchanan County, Missouri census, with wife Rebecca, 29, and sons James,
20, born in Indiana, and John B., 14, born in Missouri. John S. married
Rebecca Prewitt in Grundy County in 1843, but obviously, she could not have
been the mother of the two boys. Can anyone tell me who his first wife was?
In 1860, the family was in Mercer County, Missouri, where John S. died
approximately 1862. Younger son, John B., died in 1860 at age of 24. What
happened to James?Also, looking
for the parents of John Baker Howard, father of John S.John Baker was born in Maryland, ca1789. Any information would be
appreciated.Thanks.
