Other Information:

Maurice and Matilda once owned a house on the Underground Railroad. I am unsure if this was in Ohio or Indiana. This mentioned in an article by Maud Howard Gaines in the History of Grant Co Indiana by White (I believe)

Maurice served in the War of 1812 from New York. I think that perhaps he received a land grant for serving.
The Howard’s moved to Indiana between 1836 and 1840.
