Howdy Peggy, Well, the reason I'm writing again about this FRED L. JACKSON is, while researching him last night I noticed the surname of HOWELL connected to this family. Lavina Jane Howell who married David Lott Sellers. I got curious and this morning starting looking for her. My ex-father-in-law is a Howell. Even though I said "ex", we've stayed close. He is now deceased, however, Mom Howell is still living at the age of 93. We chat about every 2 weeks via telephone. She's a wonderful person. Now, about this HOWELL line. Wilbur Lloyd Howell is the name of my father-in-law. He died in 1977. His line goes back to Jesse Rue Howell, born 1793. Well, it seems, so does Lavina's line. (Small world, ain't it?!) LAVINA'S parents are: John George Howell born 1817 in Barnwell SC and died 1885 in Dade City, Pasco Mary Catherine Zeigler born 1815 in Barnwell SC and died 1885 in same. JOHN'S parents are: Jesse Rue Howell Jr born 1793 in Barnwell SC and died 1860 in Echols Co GA Mary Lightsey born 1798 in SC and died 1831 in SC Jesse Rue Howell Jr married #2, Mary Carolina Copeland.
