Dear
Linda,
Here is
the family you requested. I can’t find any reference to a wife named Millie. I
have also included the cemetery listings for this family, in case it might be of
help to you. I couldn’t locate anyone by the Howes spelling in the 1870 census.
House may be a possibility.
In the
book History of Schuyler and Brown Counties,
Illinois, there is a small section of Philip Howes, apparently the
younger brother of Oliver. It gives their origins and the timetable of their
migration west. I have listed what I felt was the important information for you
at the end of this report.

taken
from History of Schuyler & Brown
Counties, IL, p. 259 (Philip A.
Howes)
Philip
A. Howes was born in Ashfield, Franklin county, Massachusetts, June
11th, 1804. He was one of nine children born to Joseph and Lois
(Shurtleff) Howes. Joseph Howes was the son of Thomas Howes. When Philip was
very young they moved to Charlemont, and in 1812-14 (Blackhawk War) to
Blackstone, MA. They returned briefly to Charlemont, and then, in 1820 moved to
Lewis, Virginia, (now Upshur
County, West Virginia). In the fall of 1830, Philip and Oliver and others
(Davis, Bush & Ward families) arrived in Brown County, IL, where they bought
land and established farms in Lee township.
