A determination can not be made if Jeremiah Carter and Leonard Carter the two patriarchs of these families are related. They are both born in Kentucky and they are also neighbors. If any information is found to link these two families it will be posted here. The Carter burial have all be account for at present.
Plans have been made to try and find the earliest walking of the cemetery, to find if any individuals have faded from the currently known records.

John T Carter, Mary J Keeney Carter and Lushous Carter
John T Carter son of Leonard(Lenard) Carter born 1855 in Indiana and passed away 16 Sep 1887. He married Mary J Keeney the 22 Jul 1877. Mary J. Keeney is born in Indiana in 1857 and passes 18 Jul 1888. Leonard occupation in the 1880 Census is that of a farmer. This is the only Census that the young couple is counted in, as both of them pass by 1888. They also have lost a son in 1885, his name was Lushous Carter and he passed 14 Aug 1885. His tombstone identifies his parents, and the inscription is on the same obelisk as his parents.
The inscription gives no birth date or age of Lushous, but he is not listed in the 1880 Census. So it is surmised that he was born between 1880 and 1885.
The shared stone is a grey obelisk.

Jeremiah Carter
Jeremiah Carter was born the 23 Jul 1826 in Kentucky and passed away 13 Dec 1908 in Hendricks County Indiana. He is buried in Howards Cemetery. He is first counted as the head of household in the 1850 Census living in Brown Township, Hendricks, Indiana. He is married to a Catherine G b. 3 Sep 1828 in Kentucky, possible maiden name Storts. The 1900 Census indicates they were married in 1845. In the 1850 Census they have two children James William born 1848 and a girl Mary E born 1850. The Jeremiah Cater family has not yet been found in the 1860 Census. They are in the 1870 Census still in Brown Township in Hendricks County. Mary E is still living with her parents and so is a sister Martha born in 1852. In the 1880 Census only a son John C Carter born in 1859 is living with the parents. I do not know where he was in the 1870 Census. But he is identified as a son, along with John C., a servant Izabell Todd is listed. In the 1900 Census the household consist of Jeremiah, Catherine, John C., John's wife Minta C. Marvel and their four children Orville O age 18, Nellie age 15, Zeph age 9, and Russel age 6. Jeremiah's death is recorded in the Indiana Death as dying in Brown Township in Hendricks. Catherine G Storts? is living with her son John's family in the 1910 Census, she passes on 15 Jun 1918.

Samuel Howard and Elizabeth Henderson
Samuel Howard was born in Kentucky on 13 May 1818 and passed away on 8 May 1900. He was married to Elizabeth Henderson before 1851. He is living with his wife and two daughters Ellen born 1851 and Alice J born 1853 in Lewis Kentucky in 1860. At some time between 1853 and the 1860 Census the Samuel Howard family immigrates to Perry Township Boone County Indiana. In the 1870 Census he list his occupation as farmer, with his wife Elizabeth keeping house, both daughters are at home. His daughter Ellen marries Silas Funkhouser on 26 Feb 1871 and they start their own family in Perry Township Boone County and are listed in the 1880 Census. Alice J., the youngest daughter of Samuel's is living with her father in the 1880 Census. Samuel is listed as being a widower and his occupation is that of farmer. We can surmise that Elizabeth died between 1870 and 1880. Her burial is at this time unknown.(Notation we will look for her grave in Howards, during probing)The household also includes one boarder a Daniel Comisky, he lists his occupation as farmer. In 1882 Alice J. Howard marries Daniel Comisky. It is on their marriage index that we find the maiden name of Alice's mother.
A connection between John B Howard and Samuel of this sketch has not yet been established. The only linking information is that they are both born in Kentucky, move to the southern part of Boone County, and are both buried in Howards Cemetery. If a connection is uncovered it will be posted here on the Blog

Emma and her groom Truviller(T.E.) were married on the 25 Dec 1872, they were only married for three and a half months before she passed away. Emma was the daughter of Gideon Funkhouser born in Aug 1828 in Virginia who passed in 1913 and his wife Mary Ann Slagel(Slagle Name variant) born Oct 1835 in Virginia and passed in 1917. Emma parents were married in Boone County Indiana 8 Dec 1853. They are both buried in Howards Cemetery.

John B Howard
John B. Howard was born about 1810 in Kentucky. He first appears as living in Boone County in the 1840 Census. The Census records indicate that he has two male children between 5-9 living with him. He also has two female children under the age of five in the household. The 1840 Census also puts his age between 20-29 and a female in the same age range. There is a total of six free persons in the household.
In the 1850 Census we have a better view of the family. The household in 1850 consist of John B. Howard age 41 born in Kentucky, Lydia Howard age 39 born in Kentucky, Dudly Howard age 18 born in Kentucky, Ellen age 14 born in Indiana, Elizabeth age 12 born in Indiana, America Howard age 10 born in Indiana, Lovina(Luvina) age 8 born in Indiana, Caroline Howard age 6 born in Indiana, Terhiller(Truviller) Howard 4 born in Indiana, and Israel Howard 2 born in Indiana. (As state in the earlier post this may or may not be the Israel buried in Howards.) We shall see. We can surmise that the family moved to Boone County between 1832-1836 as Ellen is born in 1836 in Indiana and older brother Dudley is born in 1832 in Kentucky
The family is still living in Boone County in the 1860 Census, two additional daughters have been born Jemina who is 9 and Chloe who is 5. This is not the same Chloe that is born in 1877 and dies the same year, as the Chloe is living with her mother in the 1880 Census. The last Census that John B. Howard is counted in is the 1870 Census he is listed as being a Farmer. Lydia, T.E. Chloe and an Alonzo Hollingsworth make up the household.
In the 1880 Census the household is made up of Lydia Howard, Chloe Howard and James B. Doyal. This is the last Census that Lydia will be counted in as she passes in 1883. The Howard children marry into various Perry Township families, such as the Crane, Smith and Crabb to name a few.

Howards Cemetery Interned Genealogy
Have been researching the Genealogy of the interned in Howards Cemetery. The sign at Howards gives the established date as 1886, but the first burial is that of Israel D. Howard born in 1839 and he died on Aug 7, 1841. But this recorded date maybe wrong and with our excavation we will determine, the correct death date; as the Census records indicate that in 1850 Israel is two years of age and living with his parents. It could be a possibility that there could be two Israels, but no Israel is shown living with the family in the 1860 Census. The original Cemetery records either never existed or have been lost to time. Israel was the son of John B. Howard b. 9 Oct 1809 d. 31 Jul 1870 and his wife Lydia 23 Nov 1812 d. 6 Nov 1883, they are also buried in Howards. Israel's brothers Alonzo b.1829 d. 18 Sep 1848, and Dudley b. 1843 d. 8 Aug 1851. are both buried in Howards. There is also a Chloe, Emma and Samuel Howard that are buried in Howards, but have not been identified as being part of the John B. Howard family.
