Biography

Earl Howard, son of Jesse Howard and Mary Heath died as an infant. Jesse and Mary Howard had three sons, Jesse, Earl, and Edwin, whom died as infants or very young, this information was known by Eliza Walker and passed on to her daughter Addie (Walker) Crocker and Addie recorded the births in her family genealogy. Unfortunately, this family record does not record the birth dates; the birth dates for Jesse, Earl and Edward Howard have been arbitrarily assigned in these Wikitree profiles in order to establish a record that these baby boys once passed our way.

Parents and Siblings

On 7 November 1752, Mary Heath married (first) Jesse Howard and they were married twelve years; Mary (Heath) Howard then married (second) Hiram Baker on 5 March 1871 at Clinton County, New York; this marriage union was childless. Jesse Howard and Mary Heath were the parents of seven children. There are two information sources which confirm this assertion regarding the number of their children. The first document is the handwritten genealogy of Addie (Walker) Crocker (below); page 92 of this document lists the names of six of the seven children (Emily is missing from this list) of her grandmother Mary (Heath) Howard Baker, but without birth dates nor birth order. The 1900 Grand Island census record affirms this assertion noting that in 1900 Mary Baker was the mother of seven children only two of whom were still living in 1900. A listing of her children in hypothetical birth order is then as follows:

• Children of Jesse Howard (1832-bef.1870) and Mary E. Heath (1831-1911):
  • Jesse Howard Jr.; date of birth unknown; possibly 1853, died in infancy.
  • Esther L. (Howard) Russell (1855-1898)
  • Eliza Ann (Howard) Delong (1857-1949)
  • Emily Howard (1859-after 1865); died before 1870. Mary's obituary notes that four of her children were alive at the time of their father's death in 1865; this document then bounds the range of dates for Emily's death to between 1865 and 1870.
  • Earl Howard; date of birth unknown; possibly 1861, died in infancy.
  • Ella Elizabeth (Howard) Dudley (1863-1928)
  • Edward Howard; date of birth unknown; possibly 1865, died in infancy.
