Biography

Samuel Lewis Howton was born 12 Jan 1846 in Jonesboro, Jefferson County, Alabama [1][2][3]as shown on the Alabama 1907 census of Confederate Veterans. However, the birth date inscribed on his tombstone is 12 Jan 1848.[4] He was the son of Jim Howton and Peggy Gilmore. [2][5]

He married Rhoda Thompson on 25 Jun 1867 at the residence of Curtis Howton in Jefferson County, Alabama [6] and the couple had the following known children:
