Notes - Keziah Crume was born 17 February 1795 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, the youngest daughter of Philip and Anna (Barrett) Crume. Her father died when she was but six years old, and her mother remarried in 1804 to Jacob Marks. On 25 of August 1817 she married James S. Howey in either Hardin or Nelson county, Kentucky. James S. Howey was born 11 July 1790 in the part of Virginia that subsequently became West Virginia. He was the youngest of eight children of Joseph and Lydia (Montague) Howey who were natives of Pennsylvania, from the Bucks county area. He was the grandson of John and Nancy (Houston) Howey, and of James and Margaret Montague. Joseph had moved to Virginia from Pennsylvania in the mid-1780's, residing there till 1796 when he settled near Hodgenville, then Hardin county, Kentucky. Before his marriage, James Howey enlisted 15 November 1814 as Sergeant in Captain William Walker's Company, 13 (Gray's) Regiment, Kentucky Militia. On the muster roll for 15 November to 31 December 1814 he was stationed at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At this time, according to his son, Van Buren Howey, he was detached as an orderly on the staff of Major General Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans (January 1815) which occurred two weeks after a treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent (24 December 1814). His detachment to Jackson's staff probably coincided with his promotion to the rank of Ensign on 5 January 1815. In this capacity he saw British General Packenham fall from his saddle when a rifleman, at the suggestion of Jackson, took careful aim at him and fired. He was mustered out of service 15 May 1815 in Kentucky, at which he received $l04.54 for six months service. After he was mustered out of service he resided in Hardin county, Kentucky and probably bought at least part of the 160 acres which he owned at the time of his death. When his brother, Aaron Howey of Washington county, Kentucky, died in 1814, his three children Lydia, Jane, and James S. Howey chose their uncle James Howey for their guardian and they came to Hardin county, Kentucky to reside with him. This accounts for the two James S. Howeys, uncle and nephew, being designated as Sr. and Jr. respectively. As earlier noted, he married Keziah Crume, and they resided all their married life on their farm in Hardin county, near the Vine Grove area. James Howey apparently died intestate on 9 May 1860. According to Marion C. Howey, a descendant of Squire Crume Howey, there was some disagreement on the estate of Squire C. Howey and that at that ime James Howey's marker may have been destroyed, for it is thought he might have been buried on his own property, it is possible that he may have been buried in Mr. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery, the cemetery where the families of Squire Howey and his nephew, James S. Howey are buried. At his death James Howey held two 80 acre land warrants, #22,735 and #55,873. The indebtedness of the estate was $151.69 and the heirs decided to sell the land in order to settle the estate. Of the heirs, Keziah, the widow; James W. Howey; Lafayette Howey; Van Buren Howey; Permelia York; William Butler and his daughter Angeline, all resided at West Point, Indiana. Squire C. Howey resided in Hardin county; John and Cinderella Newman resided at Falls of the Rough in Breckenridge county, Kentucky; Melvina and Jacob Razor (Reesor) resided in Garnettsville, Meade couty, Kentucky. The suit also names Jane (the daughter of Angeline (Howey) Butler) and her husband, James Berry, as address unknown. For some reason unknown, John Spencer Howey does not seem to be listed as a party to the suit, possibly because he was in the army at the time. Of all the heirs only Melvina and Jacob Reesor would not grant their power of attorney to James S. Howey, and were in disagreement on the choice of their cousin as the administrator to their father's estate. Subsequently the suit was brought in 1863 and settled in September, 1864 with a court order to the effect that James S. Howey was legally the administrator of James S. Howey's estate. The suit to obtain the court order cost the estate $40. After the death of her husband, Keziah Howey moved to West Point, Tippicanoe county, Indiana in order to be near her half-brother, Thomas Marks, and her children who were living there. Of them, James W. Howey was the first to move there as early as 1852. He was later followed by his siblings, Permelia, Van Buren, and Lafayette in 1858. John Spencer Howey, the youngest child, probably accompanied his mother to Indiana after the death of his father. Keziah Howey died near West Point, Indiana on 19 December 1866 and was buried in the Marks family cemeter which her half-brother, Thomas Marks founded on his property. As of the 1940's some markers existed there with only the name "Howey" legible. It is possible that one of these may have been her marker.
