Notes

Updated October 1, 2005. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) 1850 United States Census Wisconsin, Iowa Co., the Town of Highland: District No. 6; September 3, 1850.

John B. Howard is the son of William and Nancy Howard. He is 16 years old and born in Indiana.

(2) Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin. Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1901. Pages 432-433.

- Served in the Union army during the Civil War in a regiment of Kansas cavalry and was killed at Coffeyville, Miss.

(3) National Park Service Civil War Soldiers and Sailor System Search by Soldier Name (database).

This database contains three "John Howard" entries for "Kansas" and "Cavalry." Of those, only the 7th Regiment, Kansas Cavalry served at Coffeeville (December 5, 1862). Whether this is indeed the correct John Howard would require further research; the name is rather common.
