Hi, Cousins Alice & Jerry! I too am descended from Edward Howell thru his daughter, Dorothy, who married Richard Woodhull. If I count it correctly, Dorothy was my 7th g-grandmother. I have not seen the Howell book which you referred to but am "very" interested!! Does it contain any information on the female lines like Dorothy's. My descent from Dorothy is to the Woodhulls; then the Jayne family to the Hawkins, Gerard's and finally Wicks and Greene, which was my maternal grandmother's maiden name. I'm flabbergasted to 'meet' someone at long last. I'd love to compare notes with both of you in greater detail. Hope to hear from you soon! mary johnson, dallas, tx. ==== HOWELL Mailing List ==== A message from the listowner: For more info on the HOWELL list please see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html Note: that is HOWELL _L just like in the list name.
