BENJAMIN HOWARD was an early adventurer to this country.  He made a
settlement at Boonsborough in 1775.  He was a firm and decided whig in the
revolution; and was a volunteer at the battle of Guilford.  While in the
act of taking a wounded man from the field, he was attacked by Tarleton's
light horse, and received five wounds, three of which were pronounced
mortal by the surgeon who dressed them.  He was a native of Virginia, and
completed his education with the celebrated Dr. Samuel Daviess, afterwards
president of Princeton college.  He was a devoted christian, having lived
a exemplary member of the Presbyterian church for upwards of eighty years.
His only son, Governor Benjamin Howard, of Missouri, died at St. Louis in
1814.  Mr. Howard out-lived all his family, except his second daughter,
and died at the advanced age of 103, at the residence of Maj. Woolley (who
mararied a grand-daughter) in Lexington.
