Hi Cindy

Joseph E. Howe is my 3rd great grandfather. His father was David Howe, his mother was Polly Elkins. Both were from Tunbridge VT. They are both buried in the Button Cemetery in Tunbridge. My line goes as follows,

Joseph E Howe & Hannah Miles Howe
Russell Seymour Howe & Eliza Jane Iles
Julia A Howe who married George Houser
Lee Vernon Houser & Louise Gartz Houser
Leo Vernon Houser & Carmela Bovenzi (my parents)
Lee N. Houser

Hannah Miles Howe died in 1865 Parishville NY
Joseph E Howe died in 1871 Boyne Falls MI

I have connected the dots & i's to be approved by the Sons of the American Revolution

After David Howe died in Tunbridge VT the kids all signed a quick claim deed to their mother Polly Elkins Howe. The first sibling to sign was Joseph E Howe.

I figured Joseph E. Howe & family moved first to Cannan NH late 1840's and then to Manchester NH and about 1854 to Parishville NY.

I know your David Hazen Howe (Russell Seymour Howe brother) eventually moved to Stevens Point WI where he is buried. He died in 1920. Webster & Rufus are buried in Parishville NY, Hillcrest Cemetery. Russell Seymour Howe is buried in Boyne Falls MI.

Yes, thanks...I actually have Betsey and all the Rogers relatives plus Abraham's marriage, etc.
There's a great Howe family website, but sadly they don't have a birth or death date either. And I would think we could at least figure that part out.
So I am hoping one of the genies who visit here will have other suggestions.

I am looking for a source for birth and death dates for Abraham Howe son of Isaac Howe Jr. of Framingham. I am related through his daughter Betsey. Framingham history book mentions him with no dates. I'm thinking a DEATH date would lead us back to land records, tax records, probate records or something. Help or suggestions anyone?

zulumaid — 2012-05-08 14:18:23Z

I am researching my How ancestors. I have managed to trace back to my my GGGrandfather Dixon How who died in Nottingham in c1835 at the age of 39 years. I have found a birth of a Dixon Howe 1796 in Monkwearmouth - Durham. He was the son of
Peter Howe and Ann (Brown?). Is this my GGGrandfather. Please can anyone give me any information on any ancestors who carry the name of ...... Dixon Howe. The story in my family goes that there was money left in Chancery by a lady with the surname of Dixon. She was unmarried and left no will but a Sister married a male Howe/How. Thus the reason of the name Dixon being carried down the male line. Is this story familiar to anyone? My Father also did mention to me that we come from a family of searfarers. My GGGrandfather was a Customs Officer in London where he married an Elizabeth Cox and some of his children were born and in Nottingham where other children were born and died and where he himself died. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has Howe/How's originating from the Tyneside area.
Thank you Elizabeth How

Re: Artemas Howe of Bolton land records homestead was in Berlin now

JTFAASEN1 — 2012-03-07 22:06:41Z

For those interested, Artemas Howe's home in Bolton is actually now located in the town of Berlin, MA. From a review of current and past Assessor's maps and theses property deeds, it can be said that that his property would be in the south-east corner of Berlin south of Gates Pond and his house would have been about at the end of Summer Road off Sawyer Hill Road.

From this it can be assumed that all of Artemas and Abigail Howe's children who's births are all recorded in Bolton would have been born down there in what is now Berlin.

This just puts things into perspective.

Re: Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

dougsmat — 2012-02-28 16:01:09Z

Where would I find a copy of the Howe Genealogies? Was it published, so it's available through library loan, or is it something that was done by a family and they have the only copies? I'd like to see if I could find more details on Addie and check them against the books.

Thanks again for the information you've provided.

Re: Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

mromaine_1 — 2012-02-28 13:10:59Z

The 2 volume Howe Genealogies indices list 61 Howe females named either Ada, Adaline, Addie, Adelaide , Adeline or Adelia. One of them may be your Addie (or not). At one time, in the Brookfield, MA area, there were about 150 Howe households scattered among equally prolific Brighams, Youngs and other similar clans. Brigham Young's mother was a Howe. The details are what differentiates one from another. You can never provide enough details. Good luck!

Re: Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

dougsmat — 2012-02-28 01:02:01Z

I can see that now. I'm new at these posts and didn't know how much I should put in it. Also didn't expect someone else to have the same name. It doesn't seem like it would have been that common. Makes me wonder if perhaps my Addie might have been somehow related to the parents of the Addie you found.

Re: Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

dougsmat — 2012-02-27 19:10:58Z

Hi. I really appreciate your reply. I'm afraid this is the wrong Addie. Addie was born in 1861. My grandfather, Ira Orson Fuller's and Addie's son, was born in 1881. They probably married when she was about 16, since her first child was born in 1877. Ira was born in 1841.

We have a family bible from 1866 that lists her as Addie Estelle Howe, Born Oct 3, 1861 in Morison, Mirrue (sp?) New York. But, we haven't been able to find any further info on her heritage.

Re: Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

mromaine_1 — 2012-02-27 18:39:00Z

This is the entry in the 1286 page Howe Genealogies that might fit your Addie. Significantly, Harry William had no recorded male siblings in these books.

HARRY William8 HOWE (Joseph W.7,Horace6, Asa5, Asa4,Abraham3, Joseph2, Abraham1 of Marlborough, MA)

Looking for Addie Estelle Howe Fuller

dougsmat — 2012-02-26 18:38:10Z

Addie was married to Ira O. Fuller. She was born in New York and they moved to Belle Plaine, Shawano, Wisconsin. I can't find Addie's parents' names. I have a photo of a Laura Howe. On the back there was a message that it was Addie's son Ellsworth's cousin. So, we don't know if Laura's father was Addie's brother, or perhaps a younger son of Addie's parents. We also don't know for sure if Addie's name was Addie or Adeline.

I'd appreciate any help in finding who Addie's parents and/or siblings were.

Artemas Howe of Bolton land records to Holman Priest

JTFAASEN1 — 2012-02-22 15:59:03Z

This is a deed of land in Bolton from Artemas How now of Marlborough, Middlesex, MA to Holman Priest of Bolton. It is dated 18 Jun 1776 and appears to be the last piece of property in Bolton sold by Artemas How. It would seem that this parcel was next to the property sold to Bezeleel Hale.

The language is different from the other two deeds of land sold to Bezeleel Hale and Ebenezer Worster as those two were made on a "legal form" and this one just recorded in the book of deeds. It is unclear if this language is of any significance to genealogical research. It is known that, unlike the other two transactions, this deed did not require his wife Abigail's signature.

Via Bolton vital records, Holman Priest would be the son of Gabriel Priest Sr. and Sarah Sawyer born in Bolton 3 Oct 1758, who's intent to marry Prudence Sawyer was recorded in Bolton on 28 Apr 1774. There is a Holman Priest who died in Berlin, Jan. 22, 1831, a. 85 y., but this is a 12 year difference in age. However: Prudence, w. H[olman. G.R.1.], Jan. 2, 1817, a. 76 y. is also listed in Berlin records.

NOTE: The date this deed was witnessed by the justice of the Peace in Worcester, Worcester, MA on 28 Nov 1776 would place Artemas How still in the area. If true he settled in Brattleboro, VT in 1777, this deed would narrow down the date when he left.

Artemas Howe of Bolton land records to Jonathan Wheeler

JTFAASEN1 — 2012-02-20 13:09:36Z

The following two deeds appear to represent a common land swap between neighbors Artemas How and Jonathan Wheeler both of Bolton, Worcester, MA. They seem to swap "a little strip of Land" from one side of their property for another side. This is a two rod wide strip (approximately 33 feet) from a road to the back of their respective property that would suggest the creation of a drive or right of way to access land behind their property. As to who needed this, that as yet is unknown.

The two deeds, one being already mentioned in the original post, were written on 4 Dec 1769 and witnessed before the justice of the Peace on 21 May 1771, but were recorded in Worcester book of deeds more then eleven years apart.

Artemas Howe of Bolton land records and loan with Daniel Bruce of Bolton

JTFAASEN1 — 2012-02-19 13:08:20Z

The following deed is the corresponding recorded related to Worcester Registry of Deeds book 73, pages 426, 427 posted above. It would seem that on or about 7 May 1771 Daniel Bruce and Artemas How both of Bolton owned or borrowed 80 pounds from Daniel McCarthy of Boston and used as collateral their property in Bolton. This loan was for one year and due 7 May 1772, but was not paid back until 1776.

Daniel Bruce of Bolton puts up 110 acres of land
Artemas How puts up 50 acres of land

This bond required not only Daniel Bruce and Artemas How's signatures, but also required their wives signatures as well.

Thus this deed relates to:

Daniel Bruce born 22 Feb 1701 and died 13 Feb 1790
Bathsheba (Bouker) Bruce his wife
Artemas How born 23 Mar 1734 and died before 17 Oct 1798
Abigail his wife

The record makes little sense if the parties are not related. Daniel Bruce would be about 70 years old. This deed is witnessed by his son, Daniel Bruce Jr., born 21 Sep 1752, and the land bound on one side by Benjamin Bruce, thought to be his son born 24 Dec 1739 and on another side by his son-in-law Cyrus Gates with another side bounded by an unknown William Bruce. The 50 acres Artemas How, who is just 37 years old at the time, offers up, appears to not be attached to the Bruce land at all.

Artemas Howe of Bolton land records

JTFAASEN1 — 2012-02-15 19:34:13Z

For those interested in the family of Artemas Howe of Bolton, MA, Brattleboro, VT, and Westford, NY, below are two deeds that establish that Artemas Howe was of Marlborough, Middlesex, MA as of 13 May 1776, yet still had property in Bolton. It also can be established that via an article printed in The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, 16 Jan 1891, Artemas Howe settled in Brattleboro in 1777.

NOTE: What seems odd about the latter Deed is that by its language it links two apparently separate parcels of land to both Daniel Bruce and Artemas How, yet the 1st parcel is clearly linked to the Bruce family and the 2nd clearly linked to Artemas How's interest. Also it seems unusual for a "Mariner" to have 2 parcels of land in Bolton. In addition, via the witness named Isaac Savage, this Daniel McCarthy maybe Daniel McCarthy of Bedford, a Mariner, who married Ann Savage in Boston on 1 Feb 1759. This Daniel McCarthy is believed to the master of the Brigantine Rebecca. How the Bruce, How, and McCarthy families relate to create this land sale, if at all is the question.

John Wesley Howe b. 1802 Kentucky m.Sarah Williams. Their second child, Hiram Hinxton Howe b. 1826 m. Nancy Hogg. They had a son John Wesley Howe b. 1856 m. Arena Susan Vincent. They are the parents of my grandmother Monta Elizabeth Howe b. 1883. All of these Howes are buried in Polk, Bates or Vernon counties in Missouri. My research is coming up with James Andrew Howe b. 1774 m. Martha Ann Hood, as parents of the first John Wesley Howe, b. 1802.

Hi, Just browsing through the boards and saw your post. There is no Bourbon County in Missouri, but there is a Bourbon County, Kansas which borders Missouri. You might want to focus your search there. I am descended from a Howe line in Polk, Bates, and Vernon Counties in Missouri in the mid to late 1800's. We have several James Howes, but I do not show the name Emaline in my research.

V. D. is pictured in the 44-A class yearbook of Curtis Field, in Brady, Texas. He is an aviation insructor. I'm not kin but thought this might help someone researching the family.

Re: Howe Family in Michigan

bcjahowe — 2012-01-27 02:15:21Z

Not related to the ones you're looking for. My father was adopted by Harold Pembroke Howe who was born in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. His father, Cheslynne Dunbar Howe, was born in London, Ontario and he moved his family to Detroit, MI and later he moved to Ottawa, KS, where he died. His father was George howe, born in England, but landed in London, Ontario, when he was about 15. I can't find his father nor the England connection. And I can't find my father's adoption records either.

Somehow along the way my post name was changed to conpeg. You also replied to a later message from me where I had a little more information. I noticed your post name ins bcjahowe. Are you related to the family I'm looking for info on?

Re: Howe Connections

conpeg — 2012-01-25 12:57:11Z

I don't have anything to actually connect my Henry A Howe m to Mary Wilcox to Henry & Caroline Howe except for the census records that show a Henry & Caroline had a son named Henry born about the same year and a daughter named Ella. Later census records and ancestry searchs show an Ella in Kansas with her father named Henry who died in Kansas yet I have something that indicates he died in Michigan. Different census records show Henry (m to Caroline) was born in either NY or MA. I was hoping somebody would have something to make a definite connection.
