ISO Mabel M Howden. She married Wendall Howden in 1953 in Rochester, NY. Believe the last known residence of Wendall was in Allegany County, NY. (Fillmore)
Would like to know if Mabel is still residing in Fillmore or if she has moved elsewhere.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
God bless you and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Elizabeth--your posting caught my eye.
Although I do not have the specific whereabouts of Mabel M. Howden, I can tell you that we are Hume/Fillmore NY Howden descendants.
My mother-in-law was a Howden before marriage and still lives in Fillmore NY; and, I would be happy to ask her to make a local inquiry because she has contact with several Howdens in the area. I can do so when I call her later today.
At the same time, I am interested in more info on the Howdens in Rochester NY because Harvey and Mary W. Howden had John H. Howden (b. 1855/m. Ruth W. Scott/d. 1921--she was b. 1857/d.1944).
John shows in the 1880 Rochester, Monroe, NY census as age 24; occ: bookkeeper. Their son, Harvey W. b. 09 Apr 1879; d. Aug 1962 shows in the 1880 Rochester, Monroe, NY Census as 1 yr. of age w/father: John H. Howden. The SSDI lists SS#052-32-9364 that seems to match the rest of the data.
We have part of the NY line (that is: Noah and Harriet; a little on Harvey M. but still looking for additional info on the other children: William b. abt. 1827; Judson b. abt. 1829; and Louisa b. abt. 1830--these are the children of Henry C. and Sarah Barnard.
Henry C.'s parents had settled in Salem MA; went to CT; then Henry C. (the youngest) b. Peterborough NH.
Henry C. and Abigail (Munsell) Howden moved to Hume NY after m. in 1812. Supposedly, all the children listed above were born there.
William and Sarah (Barnard) Howden, the parents of Henry C. also had: William, John, Sally, Sharon, Thomas, and Betsy. (The last one married a brother of Abigail (Munsell) Howden--Gurdon Munsell and went to OH).
William Henry's father, John W. is mentioned in several history books of NH and VT.
Sorry to go on this far but wanted to post this info so others may contact us too. Thanks and hope to get back to you with news about Mabel M.!
If you would like to exchange more info contact me at: millsvc@aol.com.

Question: was your Sarah Barnard that married Henry from Allegany Cty? I'm searching for parents of Elizabeth Barnard b. 1809. She & husband Lyman Spooner were in Allegany Cty 1840 census. Thanks.

Margo,
William Henry (b. 1753) married Sara/Sarah Barnard (b. abt. 1755 "of Lyman MA") both buried Hinesburg VT he in 1829 and she in 1835. We believe that Sara/Sarah's Barnard family was from CT as her 7 brothers fought in the Rev. War.
Sara/Sarah had a twin sister, Elizabeth.

Henry C. Howden, their youngest child, (b. 1792 Peterborough NH) m. Abihail Munsell (b. 1795 Bristol, Addison, VT) settled in Allegany County NY after marriage in 1812 possible Salem MA as the older children born there. Abihail d. 1869 and Henry C. died 1885 both Fillmore, Allegany, NY.

I hope this clarifies it a bit--it was not very clear in the posting. Thank you for your inquiry.

I believe that Elizabeth Barnard w/o Lyman Spooner is a sister to Susannah & Lucy Barnard. Lucy was married to my husband's GGGrandfather. I have parents names from Lucy's obit & info re: sister's family.
