Excerpt from Howard Family History (provided by S. Howard)
John Howard and family lived in the Shawneetown area in Missouri. The marriage date of 1825 is an approximate date determined by appearance on US Census. It is possible they were married later in life since the first child was born when he was about 38 years old. John's father, Henry, died ca 1824 (will dated May 1824). The old homeplace near Jackson on Byrd's Creek was left to the oldest son, Zed. (The old "homeplace" is owned, 1992, by a descendant of Zed's, Howard Propst.) John would have been 36 years old. It appears that he lived at home and helped with the farm up until that time. Since John's descendants were not familiar with the descendants of Zed's, there may have been hard feelings after Henry's death. John left the Jackson area and movedto the Appleton/Shawneetown area, marrying Marty Hough. (Family tradition says she was part Indian. Marty was the daughter of Robert Hough.) John and Marty (Hough) had their first child when John was 38. John died January 25, 1862 and is buried in A
