His grandfather is Mark (or Marcus C) your dates have helped a great deal and I thank you for the response. We also knew of the Cherokee connection but did not know where it began. Feel free to respond to me direct. I have been involved in genealogy for 20 years but am just getting started on my husbands line. Once again, thanks for your time. Do you know the area of North Carolina the Howells came from? Pat McCormick Davis [email protected]
