Thanks, Keith. I think my Mahala could easily have been of Hebrew origin and may be that rather than Arabic. Maybe from the Bible, but perhaps from a more direct route, through settlers of Jewish origin. Appalachia has a lot of Mahalas or Mahalahs in its past, Elkanahs too, for that matter. I believe Castlio or Castillo was sometimes Anglicized to Castile. I see a typo in my post: I meant my other correspondent believes her Mahalah was full-blooded Cherokee. Yes, the N/A groups obviously adopted names of other groups. I know this is off the HOWELL subject, but I came by an interesting piece of information the other day. My late husband's nephew has found that one of his lines from England was full-blooded Jewish. The Jewish couple came to America and their son, born in Virginia in 1775, converted to Christianity and became a minister. So one of my husband's gr-gr-grandfather's was Jewish. I find it interesting that we are all such mixtures.

Thanks, Lew. My Howells were TN, (and NC farther back.) I have heard through one source that Mahala was sometimes a surname, also that it may have been originally Arabic. (Ring a bell here, anybody?) Another correspondent has a Mahalah whom she believes was full-blooded. Cherokees (and other N/A groups) of course adopted given and surnames of English and other groups. It would be fascinating to me if my Mahala in my father's line connected with one in my mother's line, even if indirect. But not impossible, since my parents' lines do seem to intersect at other points.

Alice Beatrice Howell married James Boyd Thomas in Lauderdale County, Alabama, March 1, 1894. They are buried at the Florence City Cemetery. James Boyd Thomas , Dec. 6, 1870-- May 12, 1956 Alice Howell, Oct. 20,1868-- Nov. 13, 1908 I need information on either of these persons or their families. Obituary of Alice Beatrice Thomas states that she was the adopted daughter of David W. Howell. She is listed on the 1880 Census of Hardin County, Tennessee as the daughter of D.W. Howell (widowed) and she is listed as 13 years of age, born in Alabama. Thanks for any help. Steve Cooper STEVECOOPER75@COMCAST.NET

For those of you that are having trouble finding records, I've included my checklist that may hold some ideas that you haven't thought of before. Its from a group I go to at MSN.com called A Genealogy Experience. Hope this helps and good luck. Oh someone asked about why they couldn't find their person in Census lists? This are some possibilities that I came up with. 1. they were moving at the time or shortly before the census year in question 2. the census taker didn't find the family at home and asked a neighbor who hadn't known or lived in the area for very long. Information often was provided by others outside the home and whomever the census taker found to give him the information of who was living at the residence, sometimes the information was given by children living in the household or neighbors. This can account for some of the age differences in different census records. 3. the boundaries of the county changed and they were included in the change and are in another county. 4. Look for spelling mistakes, nicknames and abbreviations of the census taker, ie. using first name on one census and the middle name on the next, using only initials, Spelling variations of last name and abbreviations for long surnames (yep it happened - ex. Williams could be Wms) 5. Family could not be listed in the index, doesn't mean that they aren't in the census, perhaps the transcriber of index was wrong in his or her interpretation of the handwriting. Some estimate that indexes can be as high as 25 to 40 percent inaccurate due to nonlisting of individuals, misspelling, or incorrectly indexed individuals. In this case the only thing you can do is look for another index or go through the county family by family to see if you can find your ancestor. Look also for families that were listed in other censuses next to your ancestor, perhaps they traveled with them or it might show possible places to look if you have to go family by family. Also look at enumeration districts, sometimes this can be clues to where to look in other censuses. 6. The Census taker probably wrote down what he heard it is possible that he totally botched the spelling of the surname or the first or middle name of the individuals you are trying to find. Handwriting could have been atrocious as well. Go through the census looking for the individuals given name in the census, look for people who you believe are in the household for that year, perhaps you may find them listed that way.

Thanks for the encouragement. I won't give-up. It will just take digging deeper. There has to be a probate record or something somewhere that tells why the family was not together in 1850. I just need to figure out which county to start looking in, and that will probably be Pickens co. SC. or Buncombe co. NC. I'm just waiting for the new year to come around as all my wife's vacation days are pretty much used up. Then maybe I'll be able to make a trip and look around. Again, the sibling names found in granny Nancy Elvinia Howell Bailey's picture frame were: Joseph Abner Howell Dec. 28, 1828 Eliza Haselton " Sept. 26, 1830 Sarah Ann Elizabeth " Aug 7, 1833 Nancy Elvinia " Jan 3, 1836 Luara Jane " Jan 7, 1839 William Henry Harrison " June, 18, 1841 Maybe someone will recognize them this time around.

Looking for 1st wife of Larkin Jesse Howell and any information on Larkin before 1850. Larkin was b. in North Carolina, in the census of 1850 his birthplace is listed as Ashe Co., NC and was listed in 1850 census of Russell Co., VA. His family traveled to Kentucky about 1850 and lived in Kentucky and settled in either Pike or Floyd Co., KY. known information includes marriage to a Euphrasia or Vempasy Dye McFarland (? on McFarland) who went by many different names. Several children by this marriage, but I'm looking for information on the mother of Jesse Howell who m. 1. Elizabeth Hall and m. 2. Spicey Hall (Elizabeth and Spicey were cousins but I'm not sure how far apart, Elizabeth's brother stood as witness to the 2nd marriage). Other researchers say that Euphrasia wasn't Jesse Howell's mother and in fact Larkin was m. before. But I am unable to find a record or listing for his first wife if this is the case. I haven't been able to check state census or tax records for Larkin before 1850 due to distance from myself. I haven't been able to find anything before 1850 on him either. Any help will be appreciated. I also cannot find the marriage listing for Jesse Howell m. 1. to Elizabeth Hall even though I know it to be true. 1850 census states both Larkin and Jesse were born in Ashe Co., NC, and Jesse is listed at the end of the household and not in order by age as other children were. Other children listed as b. in Virginia, only Larkin and Jesse are listed as being born in Ashe Co., NC. The marriage between Jesse Howell and Elizabeth Hall had to occur sometime around 1851 in Kentucky, probably Floyd or Pike County as that is where they settled. I have found that there were at least 2 Jesse Howell's in those counties at the same time and this has hampered my search. One of those was the son of Thomas Howell and the other one that I know for sure is the one I am looking for. Another thing that has hampered me is that both of them married an Elizabeth and they both appear on the census in the same county. I believe Thomas' son, Jesse married Elizabeth Salsberry (note I can find that marriage record, but not mine). Any help will be appreciated. 1. Larkin Jesse Howell 2. Jesse Howell m. 2. Spicey Hall (have copy of marriage license) 3. Farmer M. Howell m. Belle M. Stratton (have copy of marriage license) 4. William Halsy Howell m. Nancy Louisa Akers (have copy of marriage license) 5.

Dorothy, Who were some of your folks coming to Texas? Some of my Howells left Union Parish Louisiana about that time and went to Texas. Like everyone else, I have Samuels, Johns, Levis, etc. Brothers named their sons exactly the same names and only birthdates or spouses have helped me to separate some of them.
