Benjamin F. Howey

M, b. 17 March 1878
Last Edited13 Jul 2003
ChartsDescendants of Robert Howey
Birth*17 March 1878Benjamin F. Howey was born on 17 March 1878; Benjamin F. is missing from the 1880 census. This tends to corroborate that there was no son Benjamin F. He appears to be a Bible transcription error for the elder Benjamin F. born 17 Mar 1828, not 1878.1 
He was the son of James Stratton Howey and Henrietta Caldwell Ogden.

NoteNotes made by RTH 23 Feb 2008. Research on Benjamin Franklin Howey seems to be the key to determining the origins of Robert Howey, Quaker, of Southampton, Burlington Co., New Jersey, his great-grandfather. Benjamin was born in Pleasant Meadows, on the land originally purchased by Robert in 1773. Having lived and worked in Belvidere, Warren County, location of land purchased by a Robert Howey in 1750. Thirdly, Benjamin's widow, Martha Evans died in their home in Vincentown, Burlington Co. Is it mere coincidence that B. F. Howey has direct ties to all three locations in which his great-grandfather Robert had ties?

Wife Martha was from Delaware Water Gap which may explain the connection to that area.
