KY Explorer: The folllowing article is from the KY EXPLORER (genealogy magazine) written by Mrs. Naomi Howard Spillman, 12446 Grindley Dr. Sterling Heights, MI 48312. "Samuel Howard, Sr., was born in 1762 in Buckingham Co.VA. He was enlisted in 1778 in Capt. Mayo Carrington's company. He marched from Woodson's Ferry on the James River in Buckingham Co., Virginia where he joined the army under General George Washington in 1778. He was at Yorktown standing just a few feet away when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. Washington took Cornwallis' sword, looked at it closely and gave it back to Cornwallis saying "It's a very fine blade." (This tidbit of history has been passed down through the Howard family.) Samuel moved to KY in 1796, four years after KY was changed from a county of VA into the state of KY. He was the first white settler to come to Harlan Co., KY where he was active in many community affairs. He applied for his Revolutionary pension in Harlan Co., KY in 1834 at the age of 72. He died 12-5-1840 and was buried at the Highbanks Cemetery on the Hensley farm near Cumberland, KY. (It is interesting to note here that Samuel Howard killed John Hensley was tried and set free!) Due to the building of Highway #119 in the 1970's, Samuel, Chloe, (his wife) and their infant child were moved to the Wix Howard cemetery at Loyall, KY where they are presently interred. Samuel and Chloe leave a long line of descendents all over the US and Canada. The Harlan Co. Ky Court House has a plaque placed on the square in front of it by the Mountain Trail Chapter of the DAR which says: "To the memory of the Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution."
