DONATA'S DIRECT HOWE FAMILY ANCESTORS

HOWE FAMILY: (My direct lines)

They came from Clark Co. Ky, Greenup Co. Ky & Portsmouth Ohio to Muncie, Delaware County Indiana. Sometime after 1880 and before 1888. It is possible that they were in other counties in Ohio such as Dayton, Montgomery Co. Oh. It is possible they were in other neighboring counties and cities on both sides of the river near Scioto Co. Ohio and Greenup Co. Ky.
