Welcome to the Howard Genealogy Blog!

I will start off this little venture with my own family. Maybe one of you might come across them in your own genealogy travels. 

Alfred Clifton Howard was born on March 10, 1866 in Mayfield, Graves County, Kentucky, and died March 12, 1933 in Hanson, Madison County, Florida. Not much is known about his parents or his childhood. I have a copy of his death certificate with information on his mother and father provided by his sons. His father is listed as John Howard, born in Virginia; his  mother's first name was not known, her last name was Baker, and she was born in Indiana. Family history, unverified of course, tells that A.C. Howard, as he was always known, fathered a child while living in Kentucky. Not sure if he was married to the mother, as I cannot find any marriage records for him in Kentucky. I was told she died during or not long after childbirth, and her family kept the child after asking A.C. to give the child to them, which he apparently did. A.C. Howard then moved to Georgia, where he married my great-grandmother Ella Ophelia Clay. Ophelia, as she was known, was born September 26, 1875 in Dawson, Terrell County, Georgia, and died February 28, 1940 in Orlando, Orange County, Florida. A.C. and Ophelia married July 6, 1897. A.C. and Ophelia had six sons and one daughter, Ruth, who died in early childhood.

Alfred Sydney Howard, my grandfather, known as Sid, was born June 3, 1898 in Alabama. He died February 21, 1973 in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. He married his second cousin, Mary Salome Clay, daughter of Robert H.L. Clay and Rachael Culbreth, on August 18, 1918. They had two children, Bob and Ed. Robert Alfred Howard was born April 16, 1920 in Cuthbert, Randolph County, Georgia. The Howard family, including A.C. and Ophelia and the other children, moved to Madison County, Florida around 1921. Sid and Mary's second child, Edwin Ray Howard, was born in Hanson, a small community in Madison County, Florida, on December 13, 1921. Mary Salome Clay Howard died in 1925 in Madison County, Florida and is buried in Pine Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Hanson. Sid married again, to my grandmother, Mabel Beatrice Hunter. Mabel was born December 25, 1903, and died May 17, 1990 in Madison County, Florida. Her parents were William Hunter, born in Volusia County, Florida on October 7, 1875, and Elizabeth Pearce (or Pierce), born in October 1876 in England.

My own father, James Brodie Howard, or Jim as he was called, was born March 21, 1927, in Aiken, South Carolina. He grew up in the communities of Hanson and Cherry Lake in Madison, County, Florida with three brothers and three sisters. He attended the Cherry Lake school when he was young and later graduated from Madison High School. Microfilmed school records verified that children helping out with work was very important as there were blocks of time when he missed school to help out on the family farm. Jim met and married my mother, Mary Catherine Holton, of the city of Madison, in Madison County, Florida. Mary Catherine, or Sister as she was usually called by friends and family, was the daughter of Henry Turner Holton and Mary Louise Phillips. Mary Catherine was born May 24, 1933 in Madison, Florida. She also attended and graduated from Madison High School and later attended Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. Jim and Mary Catherine married November 28, 1952 in the First Baptist Church in Madison, Florida. They had three daughters and two sons, their first daughter having died at birth.

And then there's me. Melanie Louise Howard, daughter of Jim and Mary Catherine, married Calvin Ashley Seago, two children, Jordan Ashley Seago and Catherine Elizabeth Seago.
