I think that there are just fewer people searching in that area at the moment. I know I find that I some of my other lists. I am looking in Tennessee and Kentucky, but have absolutely no idea how they got there. They just appeared and dead end. Good luck with you research.

Hi, I have noticed over time that this mailing list seems to deal primarily with Howells with origins from the Southern part of the US. I am descended from the Howell lineage with origins in the North, PA, New England, IL, OH areas. Is there a separate mailing list for reaching that portion of the Howell family members? If so what is that mailing list or how may I locate it. Thanks Carrie Bias Hoffert.

Looking for 1st wife of Larkin Jesse Howell and any information on Larkin. Larkin was b. in North Carolina and was listed in 1850 census of Russell Co., VA. His family traveled 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 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. 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. My father 6.

Connecting families of interest: Witherspoon, Howell, Wesson, Chedester/Chidester, Montague Hello: I am not related to the Witherspoon family but my wife had a cousin , Bennie Howell (female) that I have done some research on and I have found that she was raised by the James G. Witherspoon family. Of interest to those who research the Witherspoon family's of Texas, I have found that one child (Minnie) of J.G. and H.C. Witherspoon is buried here in Lauderdale County, Alabama with the family of James H. and Jane Witherspoon. There are 2 different Minnie Witherspoon graves at the Richardson Cemetery in Waterloo, Alabama. This is how they are listed in "Some Lauderdale County, Alabama CEMETERY RECORDS by Jill K. Garrett and Iris H. McClain. WITHERSPOON Minnie, dau. of J.G. and H.C., 16 May 1872---- 18 Nov. 1875. Marked "Minnie's grave". Minnie, dau. of Rev. J.H. and Jane, 14 Feb. 1853----18 Sept. 1970. All of this Witherspoon families graves at the Richardson Cemetery are said to have been removed from the Witherspoon Cemetery nearby and placed in the Richardson Cemetery when land was flooded by T.V.A. I think this was in the early 1930's. WHAT I NEED Can anyone give me any information on Bennie Howell ? Bennie was the daughter of Benjamin Howell and Sarah Witherspoon. I think Sarah was the sister of Harriet (H.C.) listed above. When Sarah died and a little later Benjamin died, Bennie seems have been sent to Texas to live with Harriet and James G. and family. Oh yes, Harriet was a Witherspoon before she married a Witherspoon cousin, James G. With help from several others, I have traced Bennie Howell to marriage to a Frank Chedester. They don't seem to have had any children. They ran some type of business in the Britton area of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Frank died in 1939 and Bennie died in 1955. I found their graves in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this past summer. They are buried in the Britton Cemetery, but not buried next to each other. One person sent me information that James G. Witherspoon died at the home of his niece Mrs. Frank Chedester. These fellow researchers have given me information that I never will be! able to repay. I would like information on these Witherspoon's and Bennie Howell Chedester and husband Frank. I am hopeing that maybe someone might have some photos or other things that they might share. It is my guess that Bennie never knew her HOWELL family as she was very small when she left Lauderdale County, Alabama and Hardin County, Tennessee. I believe that she was probably unknown to many of her cousins here. I plan to put my information on her in a family file at our library in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. Thanks for any help anyone can send me. Steve Cooper Cloverdale, Alabama STEVECOOPER75@COMCAST.NET

Any information would be greatly appreciated. The use of Howell as a middle name has been passed down through the generations without exception since at least 1842. There is good reason to believe that the name Howell was a maiden name to a Morris. Thank you in advance for any assistance on this matter.

They all 3 appear on the 1821 tax list and my ggggrandmother was born there in 1833 named Sarah E. Howell. I am hoping that these folks are her relatives, if anyone is related to this set please let me know. Thank you Robin Holt
There is a beautiful memorial for this great man on google.He is not related that I know but I found it very moving.Just go to Google and type in Edmonde Howell.If he is not your relative you might wish he was. Jeany
My earliest known ancestor is Edward HOWELL, master mariner merchant service, b. ca 1820 and d. before 1869. He was married to Hester MULHOLLAND, (1823 - d. 1871, Glasgow) daughter of Frederick MULHOLLAND, butler and Margaret McCULLOCH. I do not know where Edward HOWELL or Hester MULHOLLAND were born, married, nor where Edward died; I suspect Ireland. Though I do have a photo taken of Edward HOWELL and he appears in what looks like a Scottish mariner's hat. They had at least 2 children born in Ireland: 1. Alfred HOWELL (1843 - 1927) born in Belfast and died in Glasgow, married to Elizabeth McLay BROWN (1845 - 1907) They had the following children, all born in Scotland: i. Edward (1871-1925) ii. Clara Elizabeth (1872-) iii. Julia E. (ca1879-) iv. Sidney (Died as Infant) (1880-1881) v. Ralph Vincent (Twin) (1880-1951) vi. Lydia (1881-) vii. Emelie (ca1883-) viii. Ella B. (ca1884-) ix. Maud A. (ca1885-) x. Lily (ca1886-) 2. Henry James HOWELL (1849 - 1894) born in Ireland, died in Glasgow, married Rachel JOHNSTON (1852 - ) They had the following children, born in Scotland: i. Catherine Hester (ca1885-) ii. Bessie (ca1888-) Edward HOWELL and his marriage to Hester MULHOLLAND is my brick wall, maybe a lister can help! Any other HOWELL's out there that connect with mine? Thanks, Jackie, Vancouver Island
