I have two HOWELL women who married into my CARPENTER family in Lawrence and Copiah Co., MS in the early 1800s. They are: Catherine HOWELL (b. 1810, TN) m. 20 Nov 1827, Lawrence or Copiah Co., MS Martin CARPENTER (b. 1798, GA), s/o Temple CARPENTER and Hannah NEWTON Mary Ann Elizabeth HOWELL (b. 1800-1810) m. 6 Dec 1835, Copiah Co., MS Solomon CARPENTER (b. ~1794, GA), s/o Temple CARPENTER and Hannah NEWTON These two HOWELL women may be sisters, but do not know for sure. This CARPENTER line had been settled in Cumberland and Anson (Moore and Montgomery) Co., NC by the 1760s, moved to Franklin Co., GA in the 1790s, and on to Lawrence/Copiah Co., MS in the 1810s. It is possible CARPENTER and HOWELL go all the way back to NC together or even earlier, although it appears that atleast Catherine's line went through TN. Appreciate anything anybody can tell me about this (or these) HOWELL line(s). Have plenty of data on CARPENTER and related families if it is of any use.
