I don't seem to this particular John Howard in my lineage. However my great great great grandfather was John Howard born in Oregon County, Vermont, United States of America on 13 March 1814. He was married to Mary Ann Ayers. Since the first name of John is very common in the Howard lineage, it is very hard to locate the correct one. Good luck in your search and if there is anything else that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact directly at pkbest@yahoo.ca
