Most of the information on this page came from personal ledgers and two books owned by Robbie Kilgo Howard, my husband's grandmother.
The first book is: Descendants of Thomas Howard, 1965, compiled by Nell Hodges Howard
The second book is: The Moragne Family in America, 1971, by Nell H. Howard and Bessie W. Quinn, Published by Banner Press, Birmingham Alabama
Excerpt from Descendants of Thomas Howard:
"The history of the name Howard goes back to early English records when it appeared in the 10th century as Hereward. Later it became Hayward and Haward and eventually Howard. Its members served under many kings in many capacities. Some were honored and rewarded; some were persecuted for religious and political beliefs. As among most English families, younger sons and branches of the family migrated to other countries, seeking greater opportunities. Thus, it was that many Howards joined various migrations to America.
The history of this branch of the Howard family begins in this country with Thomas Howard, said to have been of Scotch descent, whose family migrated to Ireland and thence to Pennsylvania when Thomas was 14 years old." |
