Source Notes
- 1840 census PA, Cumberland Co. Dickinson Twp: Abram How age 40-50; 1F age 30-40; 1F&1M age 10-15; 2M age <5. The male age 40-50 is correct for what we know of our Abram Howe, and the female child age 10-15 is correct for dau. Catherine. The other ages do not match what we know of Barbara, George & Samuel. Does not appear to be the correct family. No known relationship
- 1850 census PA, Cumberland Co., Dickinson Twp.: Abram Howe age 48, Elizabeth age 39, and 5 children including a Catherine E. age 3. This is not the same person as Abram Howe above, nor could he be his father; no apparent relationship.
- 1850 census, Clarion Co., Porter Twp. for Abram How: Contributor Fran Bean noted the repetition of "Abram" & "Barbara" in names of grandchildren (children of Anna Catherine Howe & Henry Kline); and the agreement of Anna Catherine's calculated birth year from census age, with her gravestone date & age. In this census daughter Catherine's age is 20 years. Per her gravestone, her age at death in 1890 was 60 yrs.
- Per Robert Beals,1995 (Emlenton, PA, great-grandson of Catherine Howe), Catherine had a brother named George Howe who owned a coffee company. Her husband, Henry Kline, had a brother who worked there for George for a time. (The 1995 phone book listed a George J. Howe Coffee Co., 629 W. Main St., Grove City, Mercer Co. PA. Whether the "J" name intial was original or added with current owner is unknown.
- The History of Clarion Co., 1887, p. xxv, biography of George Howe b. 1823, lists his parents as Abraham & Barbara Howe. Daughter Catherine Howe & husband Henry Kline named one of their sons John Abram Kline, and one of their daughters Barbara; this name repetition supports the belief that the Abraham Howe in this biography is the father of Catherine Howe. If so, the family originated, or was in Huntington County PA for a time.

Howe Families in 1850 Census, Western PA
From the PA Census Index
Name | Born | County | Twp | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Simion Howe | ~1784 | Clarion | Perry | wife Elizabeth (age 70) |
Andrew Howe | ~1797 | Mercer | Worth | wife Mary (age 50) |
Joseph Howe | ~1799 | Mercer | Coldspring | wife Susan (age 49) |
George G. Howe | ~1806 | Clarion | Elk | wife Barbara (age 41) |
John H. Howe | ~1807 | Venango | Franklin | living with Seaton family |
Jared Howe | 1813 | Clarion | Perry | wife Mary A. (age 25) |
George Howe | ~1823 | Clarion | Farmington | wife Jannett (age 24) |
H. F. Howe | ~1823 | Venango | Franklin | wife Sophia (age 22) |
Sarah Howe | unknown | Venango | Franklin | living with Cook family |
- There are also a number of How and Howe families in Butler County
- The 1887 History of Clarion Co. indicates that Catherine Howe was born in Huntington Co., PA. The 1820 census for Pennsylvania lists three How(e) families in Huntington Co, headed by Martha Howe, Jacob How, and John How. Only the John How household has a male in the 18-26 range, but the 18-26 yr old is apparently John, the head of household, and thus could not be the father of our Abram Howe.
- There is a William Howe in Sugar Creek Twp, Venango Co, PA in 1820, who has a son in 10-15 yr. range. This is a little young for Abram Howe (who should be ~23 in 1820) but possibly within the error margin for census. We obviously need some additional data. EBW

- will of Abram Howe; names of other children.
- will of Simeon Howe & others, to find parent of Abram Howe.
