Doug Ayer had Howard as buried in Upper Greenhill Loyalist Cemetery but it is not in Find-a-Grave. I expect the stone went missing in the meantime. Death date comes from Doug's files.

Notes

Howard Hicks lived in Butternut Ridge which is in Westmorland County. It is immediately adjacent to Havelock which is in Kings County. The Census district is Salisbury so you often see any of the three names referring to the same location.
