John Howard was my great-great-grandfather. We have little information concerning his life. We know that he was a farmer and had served in the Civil War.
According to a Missouri Certificate of Death, John Howard was born on February 4, 1841, in Green County, Missouri, and passed away in Newton County, Missouri, on November 11, 1923. This document also states that John's parents were James Howard and Nancy Brown.
Research indicates that his parents were from Washington Township of Douglas County, Missouri.
John married Perlina Black on March 23, 1868 and had 7 children. Census enumerations indicate that John and Perlina lived in and around the Washington Township area of Douglas County, Missouri. We have no other information about John's marriage to Perlina or his eventual move to the Indian Territory where he married his second wife and raised another family.
Their daughter Clara married John Thurman and some of their descendants still live in the Jasper and Newton County area of Missouri. My grandmother Beulah, and my great-grandmother Mattie, kept in contact with members of this family thruout their lives.
John married Harriett Abrion Tittle on July 25, 1889 in Webbers Falls, Oklahoma. Harriett was born on October 4, 1851 in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and was the daughter of Anthony Tittle. They had two children named Mattie and Jack. There may have been a third child named Mary.
John passed way on November 11, 1923 and is buried in Dice Cemetery, which is located in Fairview, Newton County, Missouri. His grave marker makes mention of his service during the Civil War. The inscription on John's gravestone reads:
John Howard
PVT 6. PROV. ENR MO MIL
FEB 4 1838 NOV 11 1924
I've visited Dice cemetery many times and photographed John's grave. The dates on John's death certificate conflict with the dates inscribed on his grave marker. We are unable to provide an explanation for this. The answer is unknown and will probably remain so.
There are a number of John's descendants buried at Dice Cemetery. His wife Harriett, daughter Mattie, and granddaughter Beulah, are buried in another section of the cemetery. His son Jack is also buried there with his wife, children and grandchildren. John's grandson Theodore, who was killed in World War II and received both the Purple Heart and Bronze Star awards, is also buried there.
John's daughter Mattie was an active member of the Daughters of Civil War Veterans and was quite proud of her father and her membership. The Joplin Globe newspaper once published an article about the local chapter that included a photo of Mattie and the remaining surviving members.
I encourage anyone with further information concerning John Howard or his family to contact me. Your information would be greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

MARY HART, of Farmington, second daughter of Deacon Stephen Hart, of Braintree, Eng., Cambridge, Mass., Hartford and Farmington, Conn., born , married , John Lee, who lived on the lot next north of her father's place, viz., where the Phelps Hotel stands. They joined the church in 1660, and are the progenitors of the Lees of New England. He died in 1690, when second, she married, Jan. 5th, 1692, Jedediah Strong, (his third wife.) Their children, 1, John, born June 11th, 1659, married Dec. 27th, 1682, Elizabeth Loomis; 2. Mary, born Aug. 14th, 1664, married Dec. 28th, 1682, Stephen Upson; 3, Stephen, born April 2d, 1667, married Oct. 1st, 1690, Elizabeth Roys, of Wallingford; 4, Thomas, born in 1671, married Sept. 11th, 1707, Mary Camp, of Hartford, and were the parents of Jared Strong, Esq., of Southington; 5, David, born in 1674; 6, Tabitha, born in 1677, married Preserved Strong, of Northampton, son of her mother's second husband.
[ There are reports of Mary Hart's birth in 1640. This is consistent with the birth dates of her children, but I have no verification of this date.
After John Lee's death in Farmington in 1690, Mary Hart married Jedediah Strong of Northampton, Massachusetts on Jan 05, 1691/92. She died on Oct. 9, 1710, the day after a horse fell on her while crossing the falls at Hadley, Massachusetts. She probably died in Hadley or back in Northampton. There is a memorial for John Lee and Mary (Hart) Lee in the Old Farmington Cemetery. This was placed there by a descendant. I have no record of Mary having been transported back to Farmington for burial there.]
[Tabitha Lee and Preserved Strong are known to be ancestors of Lady Diana Spencer, through the following line:
Preserved Strong & Tabitha Lee, b. 1677, m. October 23, 1701
Joseph Strong & Elizabeth Strong (2nd Cousins)
Benjamin Strong & Lucy Bishop

In Reply to: Masterson Abernathy (early 1800's) by Terry Martin
While reading Elizabeth Denty Abernathy's The Abernathy Famil y (Pulaski, Tenn., 1929), p. 5, for another purpose, I happened upon the follow ing information: "Sterling's name occurs but once in the Virginia records. In 1 807, Burwell Abernathy, their guardian, settled with Sterling and Elisha Aberna thy. My father [James Edwards Abernathy] listed James, Sterling aand Elisha as three brothers from Virginia who came to Giles [County, Tennessee]]. In 1924, I received letters from Sterling's grand-daughter, Mrs. Shine of Hill County, Te xas. She wrote me: 'Awhile before my father died here in my home, about 30 year s ago, I asked him to write out for me a short history of his life. I will copy for you the principal facts recorded by him at that time.' From the data she s ent me I learned that Sterling married Mary McCormack of Frankfort, Ky. Their c hildren were Masterson, Coleman, McCormack, Sterling Harwell, Mary Louise, and Sarah Ann. Frederick's son Sterling died in West Tennessee near Middleburg, in 1843. Of Sterling's sons, Masterson and Coleman, we have no records. McCormack settled in Mexia, Tex." The preceding information involves the migration from V irginia to Tennessee of Frederick Abernathy and Frances Jennings Abernathy--she walked behind the truck cart and knitted socks on the way--and following is a paragraph from Sterling Harwell Abernathy's memoirs.
I am not certain whether you are conflating names or what, viz. "Masterson Coleman McCormack Abernathy," but I am fairly certain this family has something to do with your problem.
If you need a copy of the information, respond in the forum or to jabers/@/lorett otel.net.

You don 't indicate a location for Masterson Coleman McCormack Abernathy, but I suspect he's from the Giles County, TN area. In 1820 Masterson C. McCormack was listed as a resident of the county, and the Abernathy was a prominent early Giles Cou nty family as well. I don't know much about Master | Abernathy, James Burwell (I543656192)

Ref. "The Hord Family of Virginia" by Alfred Harris Hord
States: In the Register of Christ Church, Middlesex County,
Virginia, are the following entries:
"John son of John and Jane Hoard baptized 1st day
of August 1708."
States: John' Hord (John') was baptized in Christ Church, Middlesex County, August 1, 1708 (Register of Christ Church, Middlesex Co.) He was an Appraiser, Essex County, June 18, 1734 (Order Book). He was a resident of Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, in 1741:
November 3, 1741, "John Hord, Junior, of Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, conveys to Joseph Redd, of Drisdale Parish, King and Queen County, 123 acres of land in Spottsylvania County, between the branches of the Ny and Massaponax. Sarah, wife of John Hord, acknowledged her dower" (Spottsylvania Records).
The wife of John Hord was Sarah Redd, possibly a sister of Joseph Redd mentioned in this deed. Major John Redd whose "Reminiscences" have been published in the " Virginia Magazine " (Vol. VI, p. 337, and following pages) was a member of this family. Major Redd was a friend of Mordecai Hord (11) whom he mentions several times in his " Reminiscences." Major Redd married Mary, oldest daughter of " Col. George Waller, Gent." and niece of Mordecai Hord's wife.
John Hord (5) moved from Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, to Culpeper County, where he died.
John Hord's will, dated July 11, 1783, was proved in Culpeper County, July 21, 1738. He bequeaths half the negroes " left me by my brother Ambrose Hord to my son Ambrose Hord," and the " other half of the negroes left me by my brother Ambrose Hord to my daughter Fanny Watts," and to daughter Fanny Watts also " the remainder of my estate."
In Caroline County, Va. (July Court, Minute Book 1785-87, p. 83) "Bernard Watts, sole executor of the will of John Hord, late of Culpeper County, deceased, Fanny his wife, and Ambrose Hord, only son of said John Hord," bring suit against "John Hord (42), executor of Ambrose Hord" (9).

Ref. "The Hord Family of Virginia" by Alfred Harris Hord
States: MILLER FAMILY. Jane Miller, wife of Thomas Hord, was the daughter of Simon Miller, whose will was proved in Richmond County, May 4, 1724 (leaving children Simon, Ellinor and Jane) and who was son of Captain Simon Miller, whose will was proved in old Rappahannock County, May 2, 1684. Captain Simon Miller was a noted shipbuilder in old Rappahannock County and there is a mention of him in Bruce's " Economic History of Virginia," Vol. II, p. 439. Captain Simon Miller patented 817 acres of land in old Rappahannock County, Nov. 5, 1673, due him for the transportation of seventeen persons into the Colony. He was born in 1642, as his will, dated February 16, 1679, states that he was thirty-seven years old or thereabout at that date. He married Margaret Prosser, widow of John Prosser, of Golden Valley. He mentions in his will wife Margaret and children, Simon, father of Jane (Miller) Hord, William, John, Margaret, Isabella who married William' Triplett (Francis^); Susannah (who married Brice, of Essex County) whose will was proved in Essex County, January 9, 1724. The original will of Captain Simon Miller is in the Essex County Court House. The wax seal attached to it bears an impression which may be a crest. The wax seems to have been softened by heat and the original impression is now quite indistinct. With the assistance of a magnifying glass the head of an animal, apparently, may be seen. There are other impressions in the wax, but they are not well defined. The crest of several families of Miller in England is a wolf's head, sometimes holding in the paw, a spindle or staff. The seal attached to Simon Miller's will may have been made by a crudely cut die.
The will of Thomas Hord is dated January 28, 1766, and was proved in King George County, September 4, 1766. He bequeaths his plantation in King George County to his wife; mentions granddaughter Betty Hord, grandson John Hord, sons James Hord, Rhodin Hord, Thomas Hord, Jesse Hord, giving to the last a young mare and saddle; daughters Aggy Hord, Molly Hord, Betty Withers, Suckey Shelton; distributes among his children negroes, namely, Sippio, Parrish, Hampton and Britton.

Ref. "The Hord Family of Virginia" by Alfred Harris Hord
States: Thomas ' Hord (John ') was born in England Sep- tember 7, 1701. April 15, 1740, "Thomas Hord made oath that he came into this colony to dwell in the year 1737 and that this is the first time of proving his importation either by himself or his parents" (Order Book 1740-1, p. 1, Essex County Virginia). This oath means that in law he became a resident of Virginia in 1737, although he had been a resident of Essex County, Virginia, as early as February 23, 1720, at which time "Thomas Hord, aged twenty-one or thereabout," made a deposition concerning the will of Nicholas Brame, deceased (see original paper signed by him in the Essex County records).
Thomas Hord is described as "gentleman" in the
court records:
November 15, 1736 "Thomas Hord, of the Parish of
St. Ann's, of the County of Essex, and Colony of Virginia,
Gentleman" conveys land to William Dobson (Essex
County records).
November 20, 1741 "Thomas Hord, Gent." appears
in a list of voters for Burgesses in Essex County (Deed
Book, 1738-42, p. 310, Essex County). In this poll list
there were twelve persons styled " gentleman.'''' *
* For the meaning of the word " gentleman " in the 17th Century, see " Social Life of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century," by Philip Alexander Bruce, page 117.
June 30, 1756 " William Robertson of the County of
King George conveys 200 acres of land to Thomas Hord
of King George County, Gentleman " (King George
County Records).
At this date Thomas Hord was a resident of King George County, living on an estate bequeathed to him by the will of his father. He moved to King George County after November 20, 1741 (when his name appears on a list of Voters in Essex County), and before December 2, 1743 (when he is mentioned as Appraiser in King George County).
October 19, 1725, Thomas Hord was Sub-Sheriff"^ of Essex County (Order Book, 1723-25, p. 338). He was twenty-four years old when he held this office.
August 16, 1726, Thomas Hord was Surveyor of Highways (Order Book, 1725-29, p. 39).
Thomas Hord was Foreman of the Jury many times in Essex County (Order Book, 1727-33, pp. 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, etc.).
Thomas Hord was an Attorney in Essex County:
March 17, 1724, " Thomas Hawkins by Thomas Hord his Attorney, appeared and confessed judgment to James Vawter in debt for 772 lbs. of tobacco. It is therefore ordered that the sd. deft, pay ye sd. pltf. with one Attorney's

Ref. "The Hord Family of Virginia" by Alfred Harris Hord
States: William 'Hord (John ') was many years a resident of King George County, in which his father bequeathed him an estate of 250 acres of land. This land he sold to his brother James Hord in 1760.
August 1, 1760, " William Hord and Lucy his wife, of the County of King George, convey to James Hord of the County of King George 250 acres of land given to William Hord by his father John Hord of Essex County."
After the sale of this estate William Hord moved to
Caroline County. The following record indicates that he
was living in Caroline County in 1765:
November 13, 1765, " The Court proceeded to lay the County levy:
"To William Hord as p. (per) account 115 lbs. of tobacco" (Caroline County Minute Book, 1765-67, p. 418).
January 12, 1775, William Hord was appointed Constable of Caroline County (Minute Book).
There are records of the following law suits in Caroline County:
June 15, 1765, William Hord against James Jameson (Minute Book 1765-67, pp. 80, 186, 343).
July 8, 1773, John Gray Sz Co. against William Hord, Senior (Minute Book, 1771-76, p. 316).
July 8, 1773, John Gaunt against William Hord, Senior (Minute Book, 1771-76, p. 316).
The following notices of William Hord are also found in Caroline County:
March 10, 1768, William Hord and William Dudley were appraisers of estate of John Pemberton (Minute Book 1767-70, p. 82).
March 9, 1769, William Hord, Thomas Lowry, John Broaddus, " Viewers of the Road'' (Minute Book, 1767- 70, p. 292).
November 10, 1774, William Hord, Christopher Blackburn, Thomas Lowry, " Viewers of the Road.''
May 8, 1776, " Ordered that Samuel Major, Charles Beasley and their gangs assist William Hord in making a bridge over Tuckahoe Swamp." (Minute Book, 1765-67, p. 293).
July 11, 1771, "Order James Taylor, Gent, Treasurer, pay William Hord 1000 pounds of tobacco for building a bridge over Marococick near the Glebe."
William Hord was alive October 13, 1774, as there is a record of that date that " William Hord, Senior," and Christopher Blackburn were appointed appraisers of the estate of John Sneed (Minute Book, Caroline County). Robert Hord (who was grandson of William Hord) states that the latter lived on a plantation " in Caroline County about fifteen miles southeast of the Court House, the said land being now (1838) occupied by John Anderson." | Hord, William Sr (I272008482895)

States: John Redd Hord 4 (Ambrose 3 , John 2 , John 1 ) was
born in Virginia in 1798. He married, first, Sally Cave,
and, secondly, Seaneth A. Tennis. It is said that he and
his brothers established the first wharf-boat on the Ohio
River. The following is an obituary notice of him taken
from a religious newspaper :
" We chronicle the death of another of the ' old guard'
of Minerva Street Church. Brother Hord was born in
Virginia in 1798, and removed to Kentucky at an early
age, where he was married to Miss S. A. Tennis, his
present widow. To them were born ten children. In
1843 he was converted to the Christian religion in Xew
Orleans. His health failing him, he came to this State in
1860 and connected himself with our church in this city,
and his holy life has exercised a wide influence for good.
He patiently endured physical suffering for many years;
his face was always glowing with a smile, indicating the
joy that filled his heart. He died February 16, 1871, at the
residence of Mr. Webb, his son-in-law, near Oakland. His
name will never lose its fragrance among us who are left
behind."
The father of Miss S. A. Tennis, wife of John Redd
Hord, was Captain John Tennis, an officer of the war of
1812. Captain Tennis's first wife was Margaret Ritten-
house, and his second was her cousin, Elizabeth Hayden.
He was the son of Samuel Tennis and Eleanor Sacheverell,
the latter belonging to the very old family of that name.
Captain Tennis was also related to Daniel Boone, the famous Kentucky pioneer. The following obituary notice
is a good sketch of Captain Tennis's life :
" Another pioneer has fallen, a veteran of the war of
1812-15, a sober industrious citizen, a useful member of
society, an honest man. Captain John Tennis, eldest son
of Samuel and Eleanora Tennis, was born in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania, October 1, 1783. His father moved to Mason
County, Kentucky, in 1789, where he remained until his
death. John was married at the age of twenty-one to
Elizabeth Hayden; came to Covington, March 26, 1818;
removed to Dry Creek in 1819. His wife died March 28,
1830. He soon became a member of the Dry Creek Bap-
tist Church and tilled many of the most important offices.
He was a deacon up to the day of his death. He was ini-
tiated into the Masonic institution, in Covington Lodge,
in 1819.
" His hand was guided by justice and his heart was
expanded by benevolence.
"Thus ' ho lived respected and died regretted,' February
18, 1867, at his late residence, on the Lexington pike, five
miles from Covington, in the eighty -fourth year of his
age." | Hord, John Redd (I272008483161)

Mary M. Parker, of Mason County. He died near Owens-
boro, Kentucky, December 27, 1891. He was a man of
exceptional integrity, honor, and purity of life. The writer
of an obituary notice of him pays this tribute to his worth :
" In an acquaintance of more than thirty years, I have
never found a purer, nobler, or more unselfish man. The
world was made better by his having lived, and the impress
of his virtues, his pure spirit and teachings, will be seen
and felt long after he has gone. The world will miss him,
and many an eye will moisten, and many an iron heart
soften as they think of and talk over the even-tempered,
stainless career of their patient, honest, noble friend."
United States Senator McCreary, of Kentucky, said of him,
'< that although a poor man, there was no man in the com-
munity who was more highly respected or beloved than he."
When the senator died he left him a life pension. | Hord, Marcus D (I272008483449)
