David Howton, son of Jonathan Howton and Ann Trover, was born about 1789 in Pennsylvania.[1] Some say his birth date was 26 February.

He married Elizabeth Castleberry on 16 March 1812 in Caldwell County, Kentucky.[2] They had twelve known children:

  1. Ann Howton, married Elisha Herrin [1]
  2. Elizabeth Howton [1][3]
  3. Tabitha Howton [1][3], never married
  4. Rebecca Howton, died 4 January 1840

  10. James Howton [1][3], married Frances Jane Wade
  11. Abraham Howton
  12. Sarah "Sallie" Howton [1], married Thomas Fitzsimmons

In 1850, David Howton, age 61, lived in Hopkins County with wife Elizabeth and four of their children: Elizabeth, Tabitha, James and Sally. His son, David Howton Jr was enumerated as head of the neighboring household #463. His daughter, Ann was enumerated in household #464 with her husband Elisha Herrin.[1]

He died in 1852 in Hopkins County, Kentucky and was buried in Lick Creek Cemetery, Dawson Springs, Hopkins County, Kentucky.[4]

In the 1860 U.S. Census, his wife appears without him, validating that his death occurred between 1850 and 1860.[3]
