John Howard fought in the Civil War. He and his wife, Mary Ann Ayers-Howard also were plantation owners in Missouri. It was one of their sons, Fernando James Howard who along with his wife and sibblings, became homesteaders in Northern Saskatchewan in 1905. I am a Howard Descendant on my mothers side of the family.

My Great Great Great Grandmother Mary Ann Ayers-Howard

Mary Ann Ayers was married to John Howard, who was born in 1913. They became plantation owners in Mississippi. There is a book published titled "Thomas Howard of Colonial America", this is about his father and their descendants. I am one of those descendants, but the last two people mentioned in this book are my great great grandparents Fernando James Howard and his wife, Alice Catherine Pomeroy-Howard. They became pioneers and homesteaders in Northern Saskatchewan in a district called "North Bend" in 1905. For more information, you can email me at [contact link]

Fernando & Catherine Howard sitting with daughter Alice and neighbor

Fernando and Catherine were homesteaders in Saskatchewan. This they did in 1905 and moved from Kansas, USA. He was born in Broome County, New York and she was born in Geauga County, Iowa. So how these two pioneers met will never be known. They came to Canada with their five sibblings, the Campbell Family which one of them had already married before they left the States. When they left to travel north, they left behind many a good friends and family to be adventurous. They all have since passed on but their descendants have scattered are all across Canada and the United States.

They became the patriach and matriach of a very large family that live now throughout Canada from coast to coast.

Joseph came from Cirencester, England as one of the first employees of the Hudson's Bay Company to what was called "Ruperts Land". He became known in history and there is a mountain, a pass and a river named in his honour by David Thompson, who was a Canadian Fur Trader also.
