Hi and thanks for a job well done. Harrison Howard apparently left his wife and small children at some point before 1870. I can find no trace of him after the birth of JoAnn. I need his parents names and any info after he left his Graves Co., KY family. I have posted several messages here asking if anyone had any connections to a Calvin Howard, married to a Maggie Brock.
Cause of death is believed to be ruptured appendix.
The following is from the Harlan County Court House. Every time Hord is used, it has been underlined. My thoughts are, they were not sure of the spelling. If any one has other thoughts about the reason Hord would be underlined, please let me know. Samuel Hord Sr.
