I am still trying to find out what happened to my GGGF, Pleasant Howell. Various sources state he died fighting for the Confederacy... I have not proven this. Pleasant was born abt 1828 in Tn. In 1845, he married Sarah/Sally Barns in Roane County. They are listed on the 1850 & 1860 Roane Census. By 1870, Sarah & children are in Polk County, Tn...without Pleasant. I have a copy of a record on a P W Howell, who fought for the Confederacy, but cannot prove anything from these documents. It appears this person was a Private in Company B, 5th Calvary... According to an online source, this Unit was the "First (ROGER'S) East TN Calvary Regiment, Company H, then became Company B, 5th (MCKENZIES) Regiment. It is said they saw a lot of action in Kentucky & Georgia.. Can anyone help with this?? Thank you for any help or advice you can provide. BTW, I have not found a pension application.. Connie

Gerald - I came across the following from the book "Descendants of Edward Howell. .." by Emma Howell Ross, 1st Edition 1968: Charity Guild [Abigail (5), Daniel (4, 3), Richard (2), Edward (1)] b Sept. 24, 1781; m (1) William Green, b 1771; d July 31, 1813, killed by being dragged, by a horse, around a field, s of Rev.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of one Harry Owen Howell b. 10/21/1902 place unknown, d. March 1974 in Rockwood, Wayne, MI ; married Ruth MacKay b.1/27/1904 in Warren, Trumbull Co, OH they had the following children: Betty b. unknown Robert Harry Howell b. 12/1924 Shirely Howell b. 12/11/1925 Dorothy Kathleen Howell b. 8/23/1931 I have not been able to trace past Harry Owen Howell....he was "orphaned" along with his siblings and all were raised in various Catholic orphanges in and around Detroit approx. 1910..... Somewhere, someone is missing children Harry Owen along with his siblings from their family tree.....anyone???? Thanks! Happy Hunting! Kristina

As others have pointed out so rightly, the descendants of Edward Howell, the Southampton settler, do not equal all the Howells in this country. It just seems like it! The reason the issue comes up at all is that the Long Island Howells were incredibly prolific. Edward had ten offspring, and counting only the males who lived to maturity (and thus passed on the Howell name) we have John (11 children), Edward (11), Richard (7), Arthur (11), and Edmund (3). Carry that out a few generations, remember that Southampton was the first New York settlement by the English, and there's no wonder that there are so many ancestors all around the country. There was population pressure to push them off of what must have been a difficult life on the Island, and lots of "open spaces" to lure them. As for the New Jersey Howells, I know that there were several Howell settlers who went directly from England to New Jersey. And there were some that settled in the Cape May area after things got "too crowded" on LI around 1680. I'm afraid I'm not much help on the specifics, since my line didn't get itchy feet until 1900 or so, and stayed in Southold until then. Bill Wilson Mill Valley, California wdwilson@netwizards.net

Peter Hallock, father of John, may have >also married a woman named Howell. > >Deek identity and ascending info on these Howell wives who married >Hallocks. Location is Long Island, NY and they may have been Quakers. I'm presuming that you meant your second sentence to read "Peter Hallock, father of William, ..." because this situation is complicated enough without giving John Hallock two fathers! And let me start by saying that, as far as I know, the question you ask is far from settled. You may want to pose the question at LI-Roots, where there are some real experts on the early settling of Long Island. Early written sources (including Howell's History of Southampton, Thompson's History of Long Island, and several ancestries), relying largely on oral tradition, say that Peter Hallock, a disciple of Rev. John Youngs (Puritan, not Quaker) arrived in Southold in 1640, bought property in Oyster Ponds (Orient), went back to England and collected his second wife and her son. She was the widow Margaret Howell, and her son Richard Howell, apparently were unrelated to any of the other Long Island Howells, who were from Buckinghamshire and settled in Southampton. William Hallock is supposedly the son of Peter and his first wife. In 1991, Richard Baldwin had a piece in the Suffolk Co. Hist. Soc. Register which questioned the existence of Peter Hallock, or at least his presence on Long Island. He indicated that the only thing documented is that William Hallock, born ca. 1615, probably in England, held land in Southold, and died in 1684. He may be the Hallock who was in Southold in 1640. Regarding John Hallock, the Wickham-Billard ancestry by Josephine Frost (1935) says that William's will (New York Pub. Wills, vol. 1 pp 128-9) mentioned all the living offspring (and called John "an obstinate apostate" depriving him of the bulk of the estate). One of the complications of studying this Howell line (he says, trying to bring the message back to the list's purpose), and other early Long Island lines, is that many of the reference works were compiled over a hundred years ago. The History of Southampton has major errors in it, but its still one of the basic resources for Howell and the other lines in Suffolk co. As Baldwin said in his article "How hard...to deny (or change) an historical event or date once in print!". Bill Wilson Mill Valley, California wdwilson@netwizards.net
