Hi, Jackie, long time no hear. It was me who had the Howell/Lawrence connection. Marilyn [email protected] Happy Holidays

Last month I browsed the Howell Genforum for something on Howell/Eyre and found a message posted 02 may 1999 which said that Wm Howell .... m. Anne Eyre Hampton b 1527 of Manor of West, Marsh Bottom, Bucks, England - is anyone familiar with such a place? I cannot find it anywhere and have tried many sites/search engines, and never got a response from the person who posted this message as to where the information came from - I have been trying to research Eyre and have collected quite a bit of information about an Eyre family that could/should fit but cannot find any connection to an Anne Eyre - something is definitely wrong but I do not know what it is. Has anyone attempted to do Eyre research? All I have is the same information found in the Howell book and in The Genealogist, from those days when I had access to libraries.

Seeking any information on Temperance "Tempa" "Tempy" HOWELL who was born about 1811 in Kentucky. She maried James Othello WHITLOW on 12 Oct 1824 in Green County, Ky. She may have had a sister named Priscille HOWELL who married Jourden WHITLOW in 1822 and a Charles HOWELL was on the marriage bond. She lived at least past the 1880 census when she was listed as 72 years old. Thank you. . . . . . Jeff

Welcome to new cousins 2. Holiday CHAT: forum is open 3. A few Christmas traditions 4. Just for fun: guess the Christmas song 5. Christmas tree legends & traditions TO OUR NEWEST COUSINS ~~ On behalf of the entire 4H family, I'd like to extend a most hearty welcome to those cousins who came into the family fold this past week. We are very glad to have you with us and hope you'll stay and remain a part of our online family. As soon as you're comfortable with us and the list, please send in your Howell lines so we can all see how we're related to you. We do not have a fancy format for sending in records or queries to the list. Post as many as you wish! If the data has anything to do with Howell ancestors or any of the 9 variant spellings we research that might help someone, please feel free to post it. Every scrap of information is appreciated. You have joined not just a list, but a family of cousins who are four teams of researchers combined into one family, the 4H. Although we are one family, we have two homesites and if you haven't visited these sites yet, you are encouraged to do so ~ Home for the HOWELL-L, HOWELLS-SOUTHERN-L, and HOWLE-L is the Howell Research Room (otherwise known as the HRR) which opened May 28th. You'll find it located at <http://geocities.com/howell_research>. While not large in size yet, this site is to become a clearinghouse dedicated to global research of the Howell[s] surname and all her variant spellings. You're invited to submit material for display at the HRR. Simply let me know you want to house material there and what it is. We can display anything, provided it doesn't involve living persons. Contact me at <[email protected]>. Home for the HOWELL-SURNAME-L is the Edward Howell Family Association site at <http://www.ehfa.org>. This is a site dedicated to descendants of Edward Howell of Southampton, Long Island, New York. There you'll find an online transcription of "Descendants of Edward Howell (1584-1655) of Westbury Manor, Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, [England], and Southampton, Long Island, New York," Second Edition by Dr. David Faris. Web mistress for the EHFA site is Kristen Howell <[email protected]>. NEW COUSIN?... HOLIDAY CHAT: FORUM IS OPEN The holiday season is what most people call the "family time" of year. Just as we do every year, I've opened the list for any family discussion outside of our normal genealogy. Every year, between Thanksgiving and New Year's, the CHAT: forum opens for everyone to discuss holiday traditions and memories, pass greetings and recipes along, etc. The CHAT: forum is the safe harbor for off-topic discussion. If you have any holiday family traditions or memories you'd like to share, this is the way to do it: As long as CHAT: starts out your subject line, you are considered to be in the CHAT: forum and you can safely discuss non-genealogy subjects. HOWEVER, so everyone understands how this works, there are a few guidelines for the CHAT: forum: 1. You MUST start your subject line with CHAT: 2. Absolutely NO genealogy is to be put in CHAT: forum messages because not everyone in the family wants to read CHAT: messages. Those people know to simply delete messages with CHAT: in the subject line knowing they won't miss any genealogical data. CHAT: format messages are not an everyday occurrence. They normally happen here and there. The only, and longest, time the CHAT: forum is actively open is the holiday season ... now. After January 2nd, the CHAT: forum closes and resumes its normal inactivity with occasional messages only. Please remember everyone, to use the CHAT: forum for all your holiday greetings and traditions messages. And for your own protection, step into the CHAT: forum and start your subject line with CHAT: A FEW CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS There isn't a family alive that doesn't come with its own traditions ... little things handed down through the generations that build together to make a day special. Even a smell will stir the senses and bring back those days gone by. Perhaps it's a small trinket brought out only on certain occasions, or a specific dish prepared just for "that" day, "that time of year." The traditions below may not stir memories of your ancestors, but each will give you a corner on the life of the people who lived at the time these memorable pieces of nostalgia originated. Little Jack Horner, Sat in a corner Eating a Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb And pulled out a plum, And said, "What a good boy am I!" What in the word would this have to do with anything ~ well, other than the fact that Jack was eating Christmas pie? Jack Horner was chief steward to the abbot of Glastonbury in the early sixteenth century. The abbot, worried that Henry VIII was going to pull down the abbey, tried to bribe the king with the gift of some lands. The abbot ordered a great pie to be baked and in it he put the deeds to twelve of the manors of Glastonbury. Jack Horner was sent off to the king with the pie, but when the king received his gift there were only eleven deeds inside. Jack Horner had indeed pulled out a nice "plum." Remember the nursery rhyme...? Sing a song of six pence, A pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing. Wasn't that a tasty dish to set before the King? A favourite Twelfth Night joke was a surprise pie. A very large amount of pastry was prepared and baked as an empty pie case. Holes were cut in the bottom and live birds and frogs were put inside the pie. Then, as the old nursery rhyme says, "When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing." **Christmas Pudding This dish is a spin-off of one originally enjoyed in the Middle Ages by both rich and poor ~ a spicy porridge called frumenty. To make it yourself, boil wheat in water until it turns into a soft porridge or gruel, add milk, currants and other dried fruit, then add egg yolks and spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. Finally, cook the frumenty mixture into a kind of stiff pudding. In some Scandinavian countries porridge is still part of a traditional Christmas meal. **Plum Pudding According to a very old tradition, everyone in the family has to stir the Christmas pudding mixture. This brings good health and luck to each member of the family in the coming year. The day reserved for the stirring was "Stir-Up Sunday," the fifth Sunday before Christmas, the reason being that in the prayer book for this Sunday of the year, it says, "Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the will of thy faithful people." In the nineteenth century, instead of fresh plums it contained prunes which are dried plums. Gradually the prunes gave way to other dried fruit, especially currants, sultanas and raisins. **Mince Pies Reaching popularity in the Victorian age, the history of mince pie is a long one. In the twelfth century, knights returning from the Crusades in the Holy Land introduced to Europe many Middle Eastern ways of cooking, which mixed sweet tastes with savoury, and recipes of meat cooked with fruit and sweet spices were popular. In Elizabethan times, mince pies were still a mixture of meat and fruit and were called "shrid" pies because they contained shredded meat and suet. The meat and suet were mixed with dried fruit such as raisins and currants, and it was traditional to add three spices - cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg - which stood for the three gifts given to Jesus by the Wise Men. The mixture was baked in an oblong pastry case to represent Jesus' crib. A little pastry baby often decorated the lid. It was thought lucky to eat a mince pie on each of the twelve days of Christmas. Each pie would be eaten in a different house in order to bring good luck to the household and the eater for the next twelve months. JUST FOR FUN ...

No fair peeking! :) CHRISTMAS TREE LEGENDS AND TRADITIONS The Egyptians were part of a long line of cultures that treasured and worshipped evergreens. When the winter solstice arrive, they brought green date palm leaves into their homes to symbolize life's triumph over death. The Romans celebrated the winter solstice with a fest called Saturnalia in honor of Saturnus, the god of agriculture. They decorated their houses with greens and lights and exchanged gifts. They gave coins for prosperity, pastries for happiness, and lamps to light one's journey through life. Centuries ago in Great Britain, woods priests called Druids used evergreens during mysterious winter solstice rituals. The Druids used holly and mistletoe as symbols of eternal life, and place evergreen branches over doors to keep away evil spirits. The Celts for example decorated trees with apples and nuts during the winter solstice (around December 21), encouraging the sun to return to bring spring. Late in the Middle Ages, Germans and Scandinavians placed evergreen trees inside their homes or just outside their doors to show their hope in the forthcoming spring. Our modern Christmas tree evolved from these early traditions. Legend has it that Martin Luther began the tradition of decorating trees to celebrate Christmas. One crisp Christmas Eve, about the year 1500, he was walking through snow-covered woods and was struck by the beauty of a group of small evergreens. Their branches, dusted with snow, shimmered in the moonlight. When he got home, he set up a little fir tree indoors so he could share this story with his children. He decorated it with candles, which he lighted in honor of Christ's birth. Until about 1700, the use of Christmas trees appears to have been confined to the Rhine River District. From 1700 on, when lights were accepted as part of the decorations, the Christmas tree was well on its way to becoming a tradition in Germany. Then the tradition crossed the Atlantic with the Hessian soldiers. According to legend, the Hessian mercenaries were so reminded of home by a candlelit evergreen tree that they abandoned their guardposts to eat, drink and be merry. Washington attacked that night and defeated them. Learning about the traditions handed down through the generations enables us to appreciate just what prompts us to annually restore those trappings of a joyous and decorative holiday season. It's family ... and that's what we're all about. I so enjoyed spending this time with you today. Thank you for sharing it with me. I wish each of you a week filled with health, productivity, fun, and above all, filled with love and inner peace. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/. Colleen ('``.__.'`) `..____.' CHRISTMAS SONG ANSWERS: 1.

As I work on updating/correcting my Peirson line I am reading a page that I printed out from the Howell book on the internet and am wondering where the basis is for the marriage date of 1675 for Susannah Howell and Lt. Col. Henry Pierson ? Have Town Records, church records or something else been found to back this up - if they were married in 1675 why does the first child not show up until 1681 - in those days that would be most unusual unless the first few d. young. ????? What have I missed in my previous research on them? Olive Hoffman Sun City, CA

Dear Audrey, My great-uncle Raymond Ware Howell married Marion Pauline Bown in Rochester, NY approx 1920. The spelling is different but there have been lots of spelling differences in my family.

Hello Micki, My name is Jeff Howell, a descendent of Mathew Howell. Mathew showed up in the Wheeling West Virginia (then Virginia) area in the late 1700's. Later Mathew moved to Belmont Co. Ohio were in 1813 he served in the War of 1812. I have been unable to determine His Ancestry or where he came from. In reading the notes You added to the original information by Ann Thomas, You say two of Benjamine Sr. sons left for Indiana territory prior to 1799. If You (or anyone reading this post) has names for the two sons, I would much appricate having that information. Other Howells in the Wheeling area in the same time frame was Aaron, Willam, Thomas and David. Jeff

GWJCAL -- whoever you are, I love you!!! The marriage notice concerning Thomas Howell and Elizabeth Cherry is "mine!!!!" This may or may not have been in the Christmas gift catagory -- but to me it is a real treasure.... thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I will also try tracking through Pitt Co. and New Bern for some other information that I have wished I could find ... who was Whitney Howell's father? I think he may have been Thomas Whitlock ... think he was the son of James, grandson of Jethro of Martin Co. NC... but have never found any real ties other than proximity of where they lived. Thomas Howell was the son of Whitney Howell, brother to Levi Howell (who married Doratha Bryant Watson) and sister to Elizabeth Dorothy Howell (who married Ruben Staton Manning). I knew that Thomas and Elizabeth were married, but had never located any proof of their marriage record. They moved to Hardeman Co. TN in 1840 ... Thomas died in November of 1844 just before my great grandfather -- Thomas Polk Howell, was born in January. A couple of years later, Elizabeth married Thomas C. Harrell ... a neighbor from both Martin Co., NC and in the Hickory Valley area of Hardeman, TN. Harrell raised the 6 Howell children as well as the several children that he and Elizabeth had together. The family moved to Drew Co., AR in 1860. Elizabeth's mother was Jennett Cherry who married her cousin, Roderick Cherry. Elizabeth's birthday was 11 Oct. 1815; died 13 June 1870, she and Harrell are buried in Selma, AR, Drew Co. I believe Thomas to be buried in Hickory Valley, though there is no proof. Thank you again, Happy Holidays Margaret

Hello List, My greatgrandfather, James HOWELL, married my greatgrandmother,Susan ALLEN, on 25th Feb 1877 at St. Andrew's Parish Church, Manchester.His father was named as James HOWELL, cabinetmaker. The 1881 and 1891 censuses give his place of birth as Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire. I have been unable to find out when he came to Manchester, his correct birth c. 1856-8, or anything more about his father. Can anybody help? Best wishes, Linda

Hi everyone, Well, this is a different kind of warning. Normally, I'd warn you of a virus that you need to be wary of. I am this time too, but this time the virus isn't really a virus; it's a hoax. A message has begun to circulate through Rootsweb's lists warning everyone that if you have the sulfnbk.exe file in your computer (you're instructed to do a 'find'), you're supposed to delete it, then empty your trash bin. Doing so will remove the "infection." The file isn't an infection, nor is it caused from/the result of any virus. It's a necessary file in your computer that allows you to use more than 8 characters to name a file. Please read this from <http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html>: "This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files. "The virus/worm [email protected] can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located in the C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder, or arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the file is infected. "If you have deleted the Sulfnbk.exe file from the C:\Windows\Command folder and want to know how to restore the file, see the How to restore the Sulfnbk.exe file section at the end of this document." With all the true viruses going around, people are jumping quickly on this one and removing the file. While removing it won't cause your computer to crash, it will cause YOU another headache when you can't figure out why you can't name files like you normally would. It is necessary that we all begin to check for ourselves the antivirus sites to see if a virus is real or a hoax. Following are just some of the ones that I know of: Symantec: <http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html> McAfee: <http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp?> vMyths.com: <http://www.Vmyths.com/> Hoaxbusters: <http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/> And to find even more hoax-warning sites, try here: <http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/aboutvirushoaxes/index.htm>. If you have already received the sulfnbk.exe warning and followed through by deleting the file, Symantec and McAfee have the steps you need to restore it. For Symantec's instructions, simply click on the hyperlink I gave you earlier and scroll to the bottom of the page. McAfee's instructions are here: <http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99084&>. Should you receive the hoax message, please don't propagate this by passing it on. Just delete it and perhaps help your friends/relatives by passing this message along to them. I wish you all a FANTASTICALLY FUN Friday! :) Colleen

Looking for any information on Robert A. Howell, believed to be born 1761. Married Rachel Wilkinson. Think he was born in PA, moved to NC, then Clinton Co., OH and then IN. He had a son Thomas who I am also looking for any information.
