Read More	Henry Howard was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina, April 15, 1787, his parents being William and Sally (Childress) Howard, natives of North Carolina. He was the eldest of a family of twelve children, seven boys and five girls. He married Charlotte Ballard, daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth Ballard, 19 Nov 1813, in Lincoln County, North Carolina. In 1818, the family migrated on pack horses to Rutherford County, Tennessee. They resided in Tennessee until 1833, when they removed to Illinois, coming in a large ox cart and carry-all, drawn by oxen. A son remembers a shower of falling stars, and says he and his parents had crossed the Ohio river the afternoon before that memorable night in October, of 1833, and were encamped on the Illinois side of the river. Shortly after sundown the stars began to fall, only a few now and then in the distance. About nine or ten o'clock in the evening they began to fall closer to them, and by midnight, and from that time on until dawn they fell thick and fast, many apparently striking the ground near them. They lighted the sky almost as bright as day. His mother was badly frightened, but he and his father thought it was a grand sight. They settled in Greene county, on the east bank of Wolf Run Creek. White Hall had but one or two stores them and it was not hardly deserving the name of a village. The game was plentiful and fishing was fine. Henry Howard purchased 40 acres of land near Wolf Run for $1.25 per acre. There were only two stores in White Hall when they came here. He lived in this neighborhood, about 12 years. He then moved to Scott county where he lived four years, then removed to Mason county, where he remained 12 years and then moved to Harrison County, Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his days, his death occurring in 1872. There were 13 children in the family - Coleman, Nancy, William, John, Avery, Allen, Sarah, Mary, Francis, Franklin, Thomas, and two who died in infancy.
