In his Application for Membership in the Alabama Society of the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, Howard Ellington, great grandson of Joseph and Sophia Smith Howard recorded that Joseph Howard served as a private in Colonel Brandon's South Carolina militia. His great, great grandfather was too lame for military service, but suffered deprivation at the hands of his Tory neighbors: they burned his house and threatened his life.

The DAR designated Joseph Howard DAR Ancestor Number A021171 and Nehemiah Howard DAR Ancestor Number A058089. More than fifty ladies proved they were lineal descendants of Nehemiah Howard and joined the DAR. Reference the DAR GRS (dar.org).

In 1994, the Stephen Heard Chapter, NSDAR, adopted a project in which they erected a memorial "In Honor Of Revolutionary War Soldiers whose graves and/or estates are in Elbert County, Georgia" in the Revolutionary War Soldiers Memorial . This was a memorial, not a cenotaph.

Per the Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Nehemiah Howard was buried in the family cemetery on his property. May this memorial serve as an expression of the gratitude we owe him for risking his life and braving the unknown to help build a new country: our America.
