Can someone give me a list of Monasteries that were situated in Kentucky, at least between the years 1846 thru 1900, please?
I am looking for info concerning one William Henry Matthew Howard, born in KY in 1846-47, sent away to monastery to be educated as a priest. Ran away and joined the CSA under General Nathan Forrestt's command as a drummer boy, or so I have heard. Became a schoolteacher in Saline Co.AR after the war, and eventually migrated to Southern OK or I.T. in late
1890s and ended up in Hennipen, Garvin, OK as a constable before WW I. Also, died sometime in this period of blood poisoning and heart problems. Married with six children. His father was born in Ireland and his Mother was born in France. His family disowned him after he ran away from the Monastery. An old Negro man, who used to be a slave in William's family, ran into William in Little Rock after the war, and told him that his father lived to be 105 years of age, and that one of William's sister's became a Catholic nun.
