C., and died October 15, 1876, near Camden; son of Brutus Howard, a native of Maryland, who moved to South Carolina, and thence to Monroe County, in 1818. He was descended from the distinguished Howard family of England, a branch of which settled in Maryland, in 1700. He received his elementary education in the public schools of Monroe County, and at the age of nineteen entered a preparatory school in New Jersey. He graduated from Princeton university in 1839, read law in Clai- borne, Monroe County, and was admitted to the bar. He was elected to the legislature from Monroe County as a Whig and served
