]]> Comment on Thomas Howard and Skyuka by Drew http://thehowardhistorian.com/WordPress/?p=21#comment-34 Drew Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:56:22 +0000 http://thehowardhistorian.com/WordPress/?p=21#comment-34 Alexander & Joanna Tripples had three sons. Your Thomas is the son of Peter Howard. Thomas Howard, b. FEB 25, 1760. He married Mary (Polly) Gosnell, C 1785. John Milton is another son of Alexander. I am descended from him. This side seemed to go to SC, stay there for a few generations and then spend 200 years in DeKalb or Fulton Georgia. Some stories, as you said, don't list Thomas as friendly to the Cherokee. There is a statue of him in. Here is the text I found regarding this statue: A MONUMENT ERECTED TO HONOR THOMAS HOWARD ON BLUE RIDGE MTN IN 1909 STATED "ERECTED TO COMMEMORATE THE BATTLE OF ROUND MOUNTIAN IN WHICH CAPT HOWARD AND HIS BRAVE FOLLOWERS WITH THE FAITHFUL INIDAN GUIDE SKYUKA DEFEATED THE CHEROKEE NATION 1776" THIS MONUMENT WAS LATER MOVED TO HOWARD'S GAP ROAD AND RE-ERECTED 1967. It's odd how history repeats though. Somewhere in this tree of mine on the Howard side there is Cherokee. My grandpa swore he was Cherokee and defintely looked Native American and this is why my search continues. I believe there must've been an adoption somewhere I'm not seeing. You were questioning more regarding this Thomas' descendants. Here is the link I found from another searching Howard. http://www.hctgs.org/Families/howard_thomas.htm Alexander & Joanna Tripples had three sons. Your Thomas is the son of Peter Howard.

I can't overemphasize the importance of the paper trail, though. I have a 22/25 match with an individual with the same surname. FTDNA will have you believe that the Most Common Recent Ancestor (MCRA) is 15 generations or more, back. Our MCRA is about 7 back and we have hard evidence for proof. I'd like for anyone with a Howard-Lavender to feel free to contact me. My line joined the Howards in Tennessee and we can share information. I too am a member of the FTDNA Project.

However, my brother's dna did not match anyone with a Howard name except a known relative. The oldest known relative is a James Howard who supposedly came out of Georgia. Some say he fought in the Revolutionary War and some say he was not old enough, All I knwo is that it has been very frustrating to find information on this family. They settled in Kentucky and are buried there, but our brick walls continue. The Howard DNA project has is fascinating.
