My Howland puzzles that tangentially touch on yours are from the same line but are separated by three generations. I have a Howland line in Missouri, (Levi Howland, b. in Danby, Tompkins County, NY who marries Maria L. Ramsdell of Virginia in Lincoln county, Missouri 26 Dec 1860, They have six children, but I only know 2 of their names, a Flora b. 1862 and James b. 1865. During the Civil War they were sympathic to the southern cause, and I have not been able to find a trace. Levi had several brothers who went west as well about 1855. I have traced those lines to the present and have not been able to cross reference the names that you have given me.
My line than goes to Denver shares a ggrandfather in common, one Charles Howland in Dutchess county the generation after the American Revolution. I follow that line down through son Jonathan though son Charles J. Howland who married Emiline Culver 10 Jun 1840 and died in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1874. Two of their children ended up in Denver. Elizabeth A. Howland who married George W. Berrian in 1866 and died in Denver before 1885; and John C. Howland who was living in Denver in 1885 and had six children. I haven't been any to find anything further on him.
(This information is contained in Franklyn Howland's book "The Howlands in America and Canada" published in 1885.)
