Research notes
- Manitowaning - sale of lands in Assiginack township to Joseph Howe junior and John Rutledge - digital images on LAC website
- Joseph died in Australia. (The date is given in "The family of John Howe ..." as 24 August 1888 in Cookstown. That date matches the Australia Death Index which names his mother as Harriet Austin. Is this really the right death registration? Or did the person registering his death not know?) [2]
