Source Notes
- Source 1, 1830 U.S.Federal Census, Slippery Rock Twp., Mercer Co. PA: the family of a George How age 30-40, 1F age 30-40; 4 children: 1M & 1F aged under 5; 2M aged 5-10. This George How is of the same generation, possibly a brother of Abram Howe. Abram had a son named George who eventually resided in Mercer Co. PA. In 1930 Abram Howe was aged about 33 yrs; this George How was aged 30-40 yrs, with 4 children under 10 years. Slippery Rock Twp. of 1830 Mercer Co. and Shenango Twp. of 1830 Beaver Co. today share a common township line in Lawrence County, created in 1850 from the border area of Beaver and Mercer counties. The two Howe's could have lived not far apart. A search of property maps or records is needed.
- 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: note the use 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 her 1850 census age of 20 yrs, with her death date (1890) & age (60 yrs).
- Per Robert Beals, of Emlenton, PA & great-grandson of Catherine Howe(interviewed in 1995 by EWW ), Catherine had a brother named George Howe who owned a coffee company. Catherine's 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 intial, "J" , was original or added with a later 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 Research, No Known Relationships
- SeeGeorge G. Howe of Ashland Twp., Clarion Co.
- Venango County Records , Vol. I,1984, Venango Co. Genealogical Club, Oil City. pg. 18. Miller Farm Cemetery, Oil Creek Twp., Venango Co. "the Miller Farm Cemetery is located within the present Oil Creek State Park & includes a number of pre-oil burials...the cemetery has been badly vandalized & many stones listed below destroyed. This copy made in 1958:
Emily, dau. of Samuel & Sarah Howe, died July 5, 1843, (age illegible).
Rachel, dau. of Samuel & Sarah Howe, died June 10, 1848, aged 9 yr. 4 mo., 7 da.
(Note: Samuel & Sarah Howe are also buried here in unmarked graves. Samuel Howe was murdered on his farm near Pioneer in 1879.)"
Also: Venango County Genealogy Club , Fall 1989, p.5: " Aug. 12, 1878 - Mrs. Sarah Sproul Howe, wife of Samuel Howe, died on Friday night last (Aug. 9). The family are among the oldest residents of the county. Interred at Miller Farm."
Any relationship of this Samuel Howe to our Abram & Barbara Howe family above or to the George G. & Barbara E. Armstrong family is unknown; the presence of a Samuel Howe in each family was noted.
- For photos & transcription of Miller Farm cemetery, see PA GenWeb Project, http://venango.pa-roots.com/cemetery4.html
- 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
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.
