Oct. 6, 1858-that is the date on her d eath certificate, however, the date in her daughters bible is 1862)Her death certificate clai ms her father is James M. Rape and she was born in Sangamon Co. She married John Thomas Howl ett in Sangamon Co. and they had 4 children, Luther, Roy(my grandfather), Ocia, and Alma. A t some point they settled in Peoria, IL where I am from. John Thomas' father was James P. Ho wlett(per his death certificate).His obituary claims that John Thomas had a sister, named Eli za who married a Pettibone and at the time of his death (1940) was living in New City, IL. I believe that in your family tree you have my Mary Docia and my John Thomas and that it a ppears that they may have been first cousins. I have some more to add to your list, and would like to know more of the Howlett/Rape c onnection and my great-grandfather John Howlett was survived by his sister, Eliza Pettibone(a t least that was mentioned in his obituary in 1940) still trying to tie to the Pettibone connection....Any help you can give would be appreciate d...Are we cousins??
