THANKS so much for sending along this information! I believe John S. married four times...the last was Jane Ann McKinley, with whom he was buried.
The wives were as follows:
23 FEB 1847 he married Jane Ann McKinley in Sullivan Co...they had 8 children
3 OCT 1838 he married Lucy Ann Gardner in either Russellville IL, according to the family Bible, or Sullivan Co, as you stated...they had 3 children
9 SEPT 1829 he married Sarah H. Norton in Lawrenceville IL...they had 5 children
5 JULY 1827 he married Jane Ann Carruthers in Knox Co. Indiana OR in Kentucky, according to the LDS site...1 child
My biggest challenge (the old brick wall) right now is finding his father William (and mother, perhaps named Rachel?) Since John S was born in Wilson Co. TN, I've scoured recrods there to no avail for any Howards who fit the age profiles. John S. says in various census forms that his father was born in North Carolina. There, the surname Howard is like Smith, so there's a long road to hoe. SIGH
Again THANKS so much!
