Howard’s Civil War Registration record lists his birth date
as Dec 19, 1846 and his parents as Thomas Youngblood and Hannah Masten as shown
below:
In going back to the 1850 Montgomery census I found no
Howard Youngblood. However, I seemed to
have a match on a 3 year old listed as Howard E. MACKILHONE with mother Hannah in the household of her parents John and Eve Youngblood (no
marital status was included in that census – might she have been a widow?).
In 1860 Hannah was the wife of Jonathan Masten, with Howard
age 14 then listed as Masten plus 2
of Hannah’s brothers. In 1870, Hannah is the head of household (again, no marital status collected) and
her son Howard is now married with 2 children of his own, and he is listed as YOUNGBLOOD ! In 1880 he is listed as Howard E. Youngblood
and still has his mother living with them.
