Daughter of John Jefferson Howard and Elizabeth Carty Jenkins. Louraney Howard born 1860 died before 1900. Louraney, age 10, is in John Jefferson Howard’s 1870 household, but that census does not give relationships. However, the 'funeral card' for Israel Howard who died 1934 lists her among his siblings. Beyond that, nothing definite is known about her
However, there is a high probability that she is the Louraney/ Lurena Howard who married Abijah Napier. Abijah, born 1858, was the son of Hugh Napier and Kizzie Sizemore. He is found in the 1880.census married to Renna, age 19, with 2 children: Lucy, age 2 and Kizzie, less than a year. His wife is known to be a Howard from the marriage record of their son, Abraham L, who married Myrtle Wooten 8-10-1910 Leslie; parents given as A.B. Napier and Lurena Howard. There is no document to confirm she is this Lurena Howard, but proximity and her age suggests she is. There is no other good candidate.
