I have two items from Tj.one is a letter from him at Fort Calhoun, NE dated 4 Aug, 1867 written to his paternal grandmother, Dorothy.The other is a summary of his experiences in the civil war written after the fact.I also have a letter from tj's father, thomas to thomas' brother, john, written from uff Cr. VA, 17 Jan, 1846.
I can't confirm immediately that these are the same howarths, but i'd e surprised if they aren't.All of the names in your posts are very familiar and they did go to NE.I have recently moved to the Boston area and am begining to investigate this line.My mother and some others have worked it previously.my mother (my source for the letters).Contact me for her contact info and in the meantime, I will work on solidifying the link and let you know what else we know.
