Life

William Henry Howard Jr. was born on 28 February 1806 in Edgefield District, South Carolina, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and records no parents for him.1 On 22 February 1831 William H. Howard married Martha S. Webb, a daughter of Charles C. Webb and Mary S. Burleson, in Jasper County, Georgia, as the Georgia county marriage index records it.2 The tree names five children: George Jefferson (1831–1898), Thomas (born 1833), Elizabeth (born 1835), William Harrison (1838–1879) and Charles Harrison (1840–1906).3 The census of 1860 lists William H. Howard in the 1st Ward of the City of Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, with Martha in his household; he appears again in the census of 1870, as Wm. H. Howard, and in that of 1880 at Augusta.4 Martha died on 17 November 1885.5 He died on 17 April 1891 and was buried at Augusta, the tree says.6 An obituary of "Mr Wm H Howard" was published on 18 April 1891, the day after his death, as indexed in the GenealogyBank collection of historical newspaper obituaries; the index names a "Miss Webb" in it.7 Inference The obituary has not been read; it probably names his wife by her maiden name and may give his occupation and his parents, which the tree does not record.7 The Find a Grave index lists him as William Henry Howard, Jr.8
