I am looking for information on my g-g-g-g-grandfather Sylvanus Howe of Patriot; b. October 10, 1804, d. July 24, 1892 on the Howe farm in Crawford County Illinois. Sylvanus was married to Sara Ann Scranton and had two sons Silas Q. and George Oscar. Other wives include Laura Scranton?, Mary D. Clancy, Mary Presser and Ann Payne. Sylvanus was the son of Silas Howe and Abigail Fisk. My line is through his son George Oscar who we know hardly anything about. I have a tiny bit of biographical information on Sylvanus and the businesses he owned in Patriot that is in the county history but nothing else is known. The family seems to have been active business leaders in the community. I am very interested in any information that might be available including old photographs of the family and family businesses in and around Patriot, IN. If anyone has such information or knows where I might find the info I would very much like to hear from you.
Thank you-
William Gordon Howe

I am looking for any information concerning the Owens Family in Patriot, Indiana, especially Fletcher G. Owens and his wife Angeline Lemmon Owens. They had three children Ormsby Owens, Zora Owens, and William Fletcher Owens. The father Fletcher G. Owens died in the Civil War at Atlanta in 1864. I believe the mother had a sister named Sally. Later in 1866, the widowed Angeline Owens married Bruce H. Hatton, a Civil War veteran, so I am also looking for information on the Hatton Family, wondering whether they possibly met in Patriot.

Am desperately seeking any info on a Nola (Cox) Hall; who may, or may not, have lived in Switzerland County after 1950.
