The above information is only three generations, and the farther back we go in time, the more difficult it is to “prove” the family relationships. So much of the evidence that I have for this tree comes from the journals of Isham Howze in which I found snippets of information that I was able to string together about them. My hope is that if I am wrong, I will be corrected, and if there are others who are related to these people, that my research will help them fill out more of their tree and find more of their ancestors!
