William Howard
1825 - 1885
William Howard was born about 1825 somewhere in Georgia and died about 1885 somewhere in Alabama. Dates for birth and death are estimated. He lived to be about 60 years old.

Possible brother of Simeon Howard. Notice in the 1850 census he is living near Simeon.

William married Sarah Russell in 1845. Sarah was the daughter of Elizabeth and _______ Russell.

We believe there is connection to these other marriages, possibly brothers and sisters to Sarah or William.
