"Howards of Lynden"

To all descendants of Barnabas Howard (1791-1835) and his wife Margaret Victoria Moore Howard (1793-1878):

Through many internet and email connections over the past few years, several branches of the families descended from Barnabas Howard (1791-1835), a founding member of Lynden, Ontario, have discovered their common interest in knowing more about our remarkable ancestor, his origins and his descendants.

We now have plans to meet for a get together at Lynden United Church on Friday, August 20, 2010. This gathering, across the street from the historic cemetery which Barnabas Howard initiated the year prior to his death, will give us a chance to meet each other, share some photos, history and recollections.

We hope this reunion will be of interest to all with a family connection, and to all in the community with an interest in the history of the early settlers of Lynden.

Please let us know if you would like to have more information about this event.

Best regards to all--PLEASE EMAIL CLAIRE IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND

Claire McMordie (Calgary, Alberta) and David Howard (Ancaster,Ontario)
