In Reply to: Lewis Green & Esther Kilgore by: Laurie Levy

I too am researching the Howard/Arnett lineage. I have Esther Kilgore married James Gareen Jr. Thier daughter was Elizabeth Green b. 1780, d, 1855 in Breathett, Ky, who married James Howard. He was son of Elizebeth Howard b.1784 Va d.bef. 1860 and Stephen Arnett b. 1782 Russell Va. d. bef.1850 Floyd Co,Ky. Thier son Reuben Arnett b.1808-1818 married Sally Mann 1827 Ky. Thier son Jackson Arnett b. 1836 d. 1872 KY, He married Lurana(Louranny) Howard b.1840 d. 1918 Thier son was Harris Arnett b. 1862 d. 1912 who married LouQueen(Luquena) Shepherd,daughter of Brice(Flitterfoot)Shepherd (civil war vet.) Thier daigjter was Barbara Ann Arnett b.1896 d. 1945 W,Portsmouth, Oh. She is my mother-in-law. She married Grover Cleveland Howard b.1888 d.1964 in Ohio. I know this is long and I hope it helps someone. Barb showard8@bellsouth.net

This woman needs some help - to begin with, Esther Kilgore married Lewis Green NOT James Gareen, Jr. She is also confusing This Elizabeth Howard who married Stephen Arnett with someone else. Since James Howard could not possibly be the son of the above couple. LCL - Mar 27, 2003
Birth: According to her death certificate, Elizabeth was born 1768 - in Harlan Co, KY. This can't be correct.
Death: In reference to Elizabeth Green - a death listing for an Elizabeth Green can be found at KHS on microfilm of Vital Statistics 1852-1861 Breathitt Co, KY. Her death is July 1855 at age of 87, married (means James still living), born Harlan, KY, parents Lewis and Elizabeth Green. Resided and died at Quicksand, Breathitt Co. Means her birth was about 1768. Was Lewis Sr. also in Rev. War? How does David know the pension record dates are wrong for Thomas and James? Have heard this before - but no proof. Their parents are traditionally listed as Thomas and Lettie. Does ANYONE have death record for James Howard, husband of Elizabeth? He and wife are in 1850 census with Greenville Howard but not in 1860.

Marriage: It is assumed that Elizabeth married Joseph STAPLETON before she married James HOWARD. James was living at the time of Elizabeth's death - she was listed as "married."
