I've also printed off your note on your BURDIG HOWELL & will keep. I thought when I learned the name of my g-gf, CASWELL HOWELL, that I was "home free" on finding all sorts of info on him - NOT! Less than common given names do not seem to help sometimes with HOWELLs..... In checking HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF GEORGIA by Rev. George White, M.A.: pg 292 CAMPBELL COUNTY "Among the instances of longevity are the following: -...JOSEPH HOWELL, 99; ....." There are other HOWELLs/HOWELs in this book, but see no THOMAS HOWELL; no BURDIG HOWELL. As for Gwinnett County info - laid out by the Lottery Act of 1818; part taken from Jackson, 1818; part set off to De Kalb 1822; part of the ceded territory added, 1822. [here in GA, our county is written as Dekalb - not as above.] There are also names given as examples of longevity here, but no HOWELLs. >From GREENE COUNTY, GEORGIA - LAND RECORDS, DEEDS 1785-1810 abstracted by Freda R. Turner. page 484: Deed Book BB " page 725: Greene County, State of Georgia. I, PATSY HOWELL, widow of Greene County, give to THOMAS HOWELL for good will toward my son, a certain negro man named Sam, and one horse and saddle, to be given to him when he arrives at lawful age. Valued at $100. Recorded 28 May 1808." This doesn't sound like it could be your guy's wife, but thought you might like to see this......also there are 3 more of those to each of 3 more children - I'm just posting the names the other children: WILLIAM HOWELL; GENNEY HOWELL; POLLEY HOWELL, not quoting each item. If you need to see any one of those, will be glad to post as given.... pg 179 [from above book on Greene Co, GA] page 261: GREENE COUNTY, STATE OF GEORGIA. EPHRAIM PRICE, Tax Collector of Greene County, sold to JOSEPH HOWEL of Hancock County as highest bidder at public sale, $7.50 for 300 acres of land in Greene County, part of a 700-acre tract granted to WAGNON. Given to Tax Receiver by WILLIAM BYLEY for SAMUEL WILLIAMSON. Wit: WILLIAM WRIGHT. Recorded 5 October 1796. Maybe if these don't help you, they might be of help to some others......
