sylvia howard taft

I am the great great grandson of Dr, Cheney Howe, born and raised in Townsend, Vermont in 1810 and graduated from Yale in 1833. There was a family tradition that the Howes and Alphonso Taft were related. The aunt of Cheney Howe named Sally did marry into a Howard family in Jamaica, Vermont and she and her husband did have a child named Sophia as opposed to Sylvia. My question concerns the names of Sylvia.s parents. I believe Sophias father was named Amos. Also, since Cheney Howe and Alphonso Taft were bought up in the same town in Vermont, I am wondering if there is anything in the records of Alphonso regarding Cheney. Dr. Howe died young in Townsend in 1850 and is buried there. Any information would be helpful.Benjamin G. Straus, 2205 Hyde Lane, Bowie, Maryland 20716-1148, tel.301-464-0972,benjaminstraus@aol.com
