Dear Bob, I noted in your letter a reference to your book, "The Howells of New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio and Points West." Could you give the group a little information about the book, namely a little biographical information on some of the individuals. This would help us know if your Howells tie into ours. For instance, I am descended from a Benjamin HOWELL who was born in PN abt 1733, married Maria Elizabeth BEEST, and moved to VA, passing away abt 1799. This HOWELL line apparently came from VA. I would guess that others are interested as well. Brooks M. Wilson
