There are several "L. Howards" listed in MS CS service. Do you know his middle initial? Do you know what county or community he was living in in 1860? Did he go by "Lenard" sometimes? When was he born? Do you have specific clues about his having been a Confederate soldier? Any additional info will help us narrow down the list of candidates!
