For HOWELL-L web page, see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html Kevin Quick operates a web site with wonderful photos of the churchs and villages of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. A week or two ago I suggested to him that the descendants of Edward Howell would enjoy seeing Westbury Manor, the ancestral home. My records show that Howells lived there from 1536 to 1638. Here's Kevin's response: >I'm sorry for the delay in replying, but I knew that I would be in the >vacinity of Marsh Gibbon and hoped to take a photo of Westbury Manor, >before emailing you. I can now tell you that I have taken two photos of >the manor, and that these have been scanned and placed on the web. >Links to the photos can be found at the following URL: > >http://met.open.ac.uk/group/kaq/village.htm > >The photos are listed under Marsh Gibbon. > >I have also found in a book I have at home a description of Westbury >Manor which may be of interest to you. The book (in fact 2 volumes) are >entitled "The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (England) - >Buckinghamshire", published in 1913. In the volume on the northern half >of Buckinghamshire there is a brief description of Westbury manor, as >it stood at the time of publication. It reads as follows: > >"... Westbury Manor, house and moat, 1/4 mile S.W. of the church. The >house is of two storeys and an attic, and of stone partly covered with >roughcast; the roofs are tiled. It was built in the 17th century on an >L-shaped plan, but has been recently almost completely altered. On the >S. side there are old wood lintels over some of the windows. Interior:- >The staircase is of 17th century, with turned balustersand a moulded >rail. > >The only remains of the Moat are two ponds and slight indications of a >ditch in the field S. of the house." > >Best wishes > >Kevin > >k.a.quick@open.ac.uk > Bill Wilson Mill Valley, California wdwilson@netwizards.net

For HOWELL-L web page, see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html As a new subscriber, I thought the best way to introduce myself was to list my HOWELL line. Taking off from a point familiar to most researchers who have Long Island (New York) Howells: 1 Josiah Howell b. 1675 d. 11-Apr-1752 m. Mary Johnes b. 1681 d. 20-May-1766 2 Josiah Howell b. 12-May-1709 d. 1-Nov-1775 m. Unknown Mitchell 3 John Howell m. Elizabeth Brewster b. 1745 d. 27-Feb-1831 "of Canoe Place, 1785, and later of Ketchabonac" 4 John Mitchell Howell b. 27-Sep-1772 d. 30-Jul-1863 m. Mary Halsey b. 1778 d. 19-Dec-1802 m. Clarissa Fanning 5 John Howell b. 1801 d. after 1880 m. 18-Dec-1824 Eliza Miller 6 George Miller Howell b. 19-Jul-1839 d. 1923 m. 17-May-1869 Mary Harriette Goldsmith b. 1848 d. 4-Mar-1883 m. 11-Aug-1887 Sarah Lavinia (Sallie) Jewett b. 23-Feb-1846 m. Ellen Griffin George Miller Howell lived his life on the family farm in Southold, Long Island, which which was owned by our family until the 1950's. George is in the Ross/Faris "Descendants of Edward Howell", p. 318, but I don't believe his children have ever been recorded in print. George's children: 2 Eliza Miller Howell b. ?-Mar-1870 m. 1902 Charles E. Sharp 2 Helen Phillips Howell b. 26-Nov-1871 d. 4-Aug-1968 (my grandmother) m. 8-Jun-1899 Herbert Vincent Neal b. 3-Apr-1869 d. 21-Feb-1940 2 Lillian Moore Howell b. 14-Aug-1873 d. 4-Sep-1971 Never married 2 Mary Harriet Howell b. 1876 m. 1900 Joseph Albert Wells b. 21-Feb-1883 2 John Van Mater Howell b. 17-Oct-1878 d. 27-Nov-1956 Never married 2 Roy Goldsmith Howell b. ?-Jan-1880 m. 1907 Margaret Douohoe m. Gertrude Le Comte Stohr 2 Eleanor Howell b. 1881 m. 29-Mar-1911 Ferdinand Kranenburg Of course, I have information going back many generations not shown, and several going forward. I also have compiled (from published sources, mainly) information on the MILLER, GOLDSMITH, BREWSTER, and HALSEY lines. I'd be interested in hearing from any cousins out there with whom I might compare notes. Bill Wilson Mill Valley, California wdwilson@netwizards.net

For HOWELL-L web page, see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html Would anyone happen to know the parents of John J. & Jesse J. HOWELL? According to census records these 2 men (brothers) were from TN. They are my greatgrandfather (John) and great uncle (Jesse). They were born in 1860 (Jesse) and 1865 (John). I found them in Marion Co, IL in the late 1880's-early 1890's and they are both married. There is a big chunk missing there that I'd like to find out information for. If anyone can help, please email me! I do have more information on John J. and Jesse J. if need be. Jenny Rice jenny97@gte.net P.S. Was there a nickname for someone named Jasper? Thanks!
