JABEZ & HARRIET HANING
Jabez
Haning (1827-1883) came to Grayson County with his family in 1846.
In the 1850s Jabez Haning obtained a grant of 320 acres of land
from the Peters Colony. His land was located about 9 miles south
of the town of Sherman.
Harriet
Campbell (1834-1880) and Jabez Haning were married in 1854 and
established a farm. In 1873 the Houston & Texas Centrail
railway established a line south of Sherman. The route went
through the Haning property, and they donated land for a town site in
1876. The town was named Howe, probably in honor of a railroad
official. |
