Notes
a. Note:   From Howerton Heritage Newsletter Spring 1997, By Bryan R. Howerton Nathan Howerton was found to have been born in 1793 in Montgomery County, Virginia; the son of William Howerton and Nancy. When he was a small child, his family moved to the Russell/Lee County area of Virginia, eventually settling in Russell County, Virginia. While there he married Nancy Vance Fuget (born 14 Mar 1791 in Virginia). While residing in Lee County; Nathan, his father, and brothers joined in an effort to form a new county whose seat would be more accessible to those located in their general area. Their efforts resulted in the formation of Scott County, Virginia. Around 1815 he and all his brothers, except William Jr., moved to Floyd County, Kentucky near where their father had relocated. After residing in Kentucky for a period of about 13 years, Nathan again got itchy feet and left Kentucky with his family in tow. They arrived in the Edgar/Clark County area of Illinois around 1828, residing first in Edgar County. Around 1836 he made his final move to Clark County, Illinois. In their 1907 "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Clark County," Bateman and Selby misidentify Nathan as "Newton" Howerton, but state: "The settlement of Orange Township began with the arrival of Newton Howerton and Moses Engle about 1836. While accurately naming Nathan, Perrin's 1883 "History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois," states: "The settlement of Orange Township by white men dates from the year 1836 when the first entries of land were made though it cannot be stated with correctness who was the earliest settler. In the above year Nathan Howerton and Moses Engle made entries in Section 12; Elijah Peacock in Section 25; and John F Dodd in Section 3; all of whom moved onto their respective lands the same year, and began improving. Nathan died on 30 September 1838 in Clark County, Illinois where he was buried in Medsker Cemetery. He and Nancy were parents of a large family, which included -- born in Russell County, Virginia: John, 1813 and Minerva, 6 June 1814 -- born in Floyd/Morgan County, Kentucky: Sophronia, 31 July 1816, Francis F, ca 1817, James, 10 November 1819; Lee 1824, Andrew Jackson, 10 March 1825, Alexander Camel, 1826; Mary, 1827 -- born in Edgar/Clark County, Illinois: Granville, 10 Jan 1829; Ruth, 1831; Braxton W. 1833; Louisa, 12 April 1834; William (twin), 8 July 1836; Nathan (twin), 8 July 1836; and Louise, 30 June 1838; Nancy never remarried, but remained in Clark County and raised the children, four of whom served in the Civil War (during which Braxton died). Five of Nancy's grandsons also served in the Civil War, according to family legend she died 11 March 1868 and was buried in Medsker Cemetery. Source: Bryan R.
