Misc. Notes

Believed to be a son of Charles Howard according to "The Genealogy of the Howards of Daviess County, Kentucky and their Ancestors" by Anna Hamilton. According to the Anna Hamilton book he settled on Rolling Forks in Nelson County, Kentucky in 1787 near the Larue and Marion County line. He was a founder of Howards Town with his son Joseph.92
No headstone.
Howardstown located about 18 miles from Bardstown on Highway 84, received its name from the Howards. Mr. Chester Howard who resides on Highway 31E, stated that "William Howard, the first settler came from England and settled in this area the same year Abraham Lincoln`s father, Thomas Lincoln, came to the Knob Creek Farm. Abraham was two years old when he moved from his birthplace, Hodgenville; from there he went to Indiana.
William Howard had a water mill at Howardstown, called Howard`s Mill, located on the Rolling Fork river, near the town. From tradition, seven Howard brothers came to America from Chesterfield, England because of religious persecution. They are believed to be Charles, Pat, John, James, Basil, William and Edward.
Basil came from Maryland and settled at Pottinger`s Creek, at Holy Cross, Marion County in 1786. John and James settled on Hardin Creek, St. Marys, Marion County. Pat settled at St. Charles and later moved to Daviess County. Charles and William came from Maryland in 1786 and settled near Cartwright Creek, Wahington Co. which might have been part of Marion Co. at that time. Later in 1833, William went to live with his son, Joseph in what is now called Howardstown, Nelson Co. He was in his 90s when he died and was laid to rest at New Haven in the old St. Catherine`s cemetery. No stone marks the spot. The Howards of Howardstown, New Haven and of this section are descendants of William.
In 1787, Edward lead a party of catholics from the Ohio river to Nelson Co, Ky, by blazing the trees along the course. This route was later used by others coming to Ky. and Father Maurice Whelen, the first priest sent to Ky, was with Edward`s party. This settlement was about three miles south of Bardstown in a nick of the county called Poplar Neck. Edward`s home was one of several used as a church station before St. Joseph`s cathedral was built.
In 1882, County Atlas shows that a grist mill was operated by George Elliott, James and John Howard. Mr. and Mrs Chester Howard, who reside on Highway 31E across the highway from Lincoln Knob farm told me the following: "F.M. Head operates the general store in Howardstown and that the store was built in the 1800s. In 1900, it was moved from the location on the river to the present site. When it was on the river, they operated it in connection to the store, a water and grist mill.
