Howard (Abner) Tombstone
2016<\/p><\/div>\n


\nOnly one grave, clearly marked with head and foot fieldstones, was found. No other clear depressions were noted. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abner Howard (b 8-13-1813 \u2013 unproven date), husband of Elizabeth Price Howard (married Nov 24, 1839 \u2013 Washington County) \u2013 His death date is unknown, but after the 1870 census. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Price Howard may be buried here, but there is no proof. She was born about the same year as Abner, based upon census records, and probably died between 1860 & 1870. When Mary Catherine Howard sold the property in 1917, she only reserved her father\u2019s grave, however.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Daughter, Mary Catherine Howard died in 1919 and is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Johnson City. No evidence of any other graves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
