Notes for Ada Down HOWE:

Family stories have it that Ada's family is descended from General William Howe, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in America, 1775-1778. He was born in England on August 10, 1729. His grandmother had been the mistress of King George I, which made him and his two brothers King George III's illegitimate uncles.
