Howard was my father-in-law and I have been researching his tree for the past several years. His father was Finley McKinley Tewksbury however I disagree with who you have down for his mother. In looking at census data and other documents I found that Ruth Beatrice Pettit Tewksbury is partially correct. She was a Pettit but her first name has ranged from Ollie to Ruth to Belle. I have not found her to have a middle name of Beatrice. If you have found something different please let me know.

I have Howard's ancestry back to his immigrant ancestor who arrived in America in 1640 if anyone is interested.
