John Samuel Howard born 1847 died 1913
I'm looking for any information on John Samuel Howard.John was born Dec. 27, 1847 (possibly Lauderdale Co, Ala. near Lexington), and passed away in 1913 in Caney, Oklahoma.John Samuel Howard is my GG grandfather and I'd like to know if anyone out there knows anything about him.
John eventually moved to Indian Territory before it became the state of Oklahoma.He may have lived in Arkansas and Texas before this, but not sure.Possibly even Tennessee.
He had a son, John H Howard, with a first wife (name unknown), and children Sam, Mack, Mary, Loveda, and Grace with 2nd wife Janie McCanless.Janie is also buried in Caney, Oklahoma.
There is a John Howard listed on 1850 Lauderdale County, Ala. census born to Jason and Nancy Howard.I don't know if this is my John Samuel Howard or not.
If anyone out there knows anything about the origins of my Howard line please get in touch with me.
Sincerely,Tommy Howard
