Betsy Wikes, or Wilkes, Howe was born on 26 January 1838 in England,
probably Northamptonshire. Her parents
were William Howe and Elizabeth (possibly Kilsby). Betsy married William A. Blincow in October
1860, in England.
Betsy and William had eight children, five born in England.

Sometime after William died, Betsy moved in with her daughter Nellie and
her family. Betsy died in 1915 at the
home of J.A. and Nellie Horning and is buried in Beulah Cemetery, in Thomas County,
Kansas.
