| Howe | Vern Howe | According to his Civil War Pension Deposition, Joshua HOWE married Mary E. TRANTHAM in "September 1890" (transcribed record on this site shows 24 AUG 1890). The same record shows that a Joshua HOWE married a "OMY McGLON" on 15 JUL 1876. My guess is that she's a relative of the McGLONE family. The pension record goes on to say that Joshua had "a little girl living in Michigan, born at Conway Ark June 28th 1888; its mother died at its birth" The implication is that the mother is probably buried in a Conway Cemetery. Any further information would be most appreciated. |
