Hi, All this wonderful research. How great to find it. I am Pat Preston. My mother was Maxine Esther Howard. Her father was Charles Wesley Howard. Her grandparents were John Wesley Howard and Mary M. Thornton Ceis. Mary's dad was Daniel Ceis 1823-1902. I have fond memories as a child of attending picnics (Howard family) in which Great Aunt Grace attended. I have information about the Charles Wesley Howard family. Thanks Pat Preston
