Will, I have a lot of children and grandchildren for John and Nancy.If these are of interest to you I will be glad to share.I have posted them on the Howell website and also many White Co.census.I don't think I posted the one from Tx.where my husband's grandfather(grandson of James) went to live with his uncle.I will look that up and let you know which one went to Tx..I do have obit for James son William who went to Allen Co.Ky..There is also another Howell family in Allen Co.that my husband's maternal uncle married into.I haven't been able to place them with the family of John and Nancy but I thought it was a real coincidence that they ended up in the same place.Let me know if I might have something you are interested in.

I'd love to have whatever info you'd like to send me :-). My line comes from Sarah Jane Howell, born 1815, who died November 1877, and buried Rice Cemetery. She married about 1831 or 1832 to John A. Rice, son of William B. and Eleanor Rice, in White County. This is a couple I'd sincerely love to find a County marriage record on. Apparently White County did lose some records, as I've found several families married there for whom marriage records are not extant. All I had was the old family Bible record of my great-grandfather, William A. Rice, grandson of John and Sarah. All he gave was "John A. Rice married Sary Jane Howell...He died young. Sary then married John Jaco.." The Howell family history says basically the same thing about Sarah, that she married a Rice and after his death, married a Jaco. In 1850, I find Marion Rice, William A. Rice's father, living in the household of John and Saraoh Jaco. The 1900 census of Putnam County, TN states that Marion Rice was born in January 1833. He had a brother, John "Granton" Rice, born in 1834. Both Marion and John are buried at Sandy Hickey Cemetery, Putnam County, 8th District. Marion married first Susannah Lee in 1853, and they had: Nellie Rice (Nellie is a nickname for "Eleanor" so she was undoubtedly named after Marion's grandmother) born 1854. I've found no info on her. John H. Rice - born 1855 died 1927 in Red Boiling Springs, Macon County, TN. All the Rices up there are descended from this man through his son, Rufus Edward Rice, born 1880. His first wife was Nancy Canady, by whom he had his children. His second wife was Sophia Lee Slate, a first cousin of James B. Grisham, great-great grandfather of William Jefferson "Slick Willie" (Blythe) Clinton. (I about FREAKED when I found out that Hillary Rodham "Wicked Witch of the North" Clinton is descended from a Howell family. THANK GOD she's not related to any of US! Her line came from England late. Bad enough to be kin to Slick Willie through the Grishams! :-D Anyway.......... Sarah C. Rice - born 1856. Married Jesse Thomas. She died 1937 up in Rhea County, TN. Belzara Rice - born 1858. Haven't found a thing on her, but the family talked about "Aunt Belle". I assume she lived to adulthood and married, but for the life of me I've not found a THING on her after 1860. Lucinda E. Rice - born May 15, 1861. Married John Denton Brown 1880 Putnam County, TN. She died 1934 in McMinnville, Warren County, TN and has a lot of descendants over there. Marion's second wife was Mary Ann Myers, whom he married in 1870, and I haven't found them on any census for that year, so obviously on their honeymoon and not recorded. Don't know where their kids were either. Can't find them. I seriously doubt they would have tagged along! Anyway....They had one living son: William A. Rice born April 1, 1871. Died March 5, 1909, from accidental gunshot while hunting in Putnam County. He married Leitha Catherine Judd about 1894. They were my grandfather William Logan Rice's parents. Sarah Howell had several children by John Jaco. They were: Isaac Jaco, Avery Jaco (female) Eli Alexander Jaco - born 1839. died after 1910 probably in White county. An "E.Jaco" is buried next to Sarah Jaco at Rice cemetery. This is possibly his grave. William Jaco and a Harriett Byrd was in their household in 1860. In 1840, a female 0-5 was enumerated in John Jaco's household, but I don't know if she was a Rice or a Howell. I've not found anything further about this Harriett Byrd. That's about the scope of the info I have right now on my Howell descent. Someone just told he there was a reference in White county wills to an Etheldred...That I need to investigate. Perhaps our Howells are descended from that person??? I have no info whatsoever on Etheldred Howell! ----- Original Message ----- From: "john t roark" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 12:33 PM Subject: [HOWELL] John Howell&Nancy Brewer > Will, > I have a lot of children and grandchildren for John and Nancy.If these are > of interest to you I will be glad to share.I have posted them on the Howell > website and also many White Co.census.I don't think I posted the one from > Tx.where my husband's grandfather(grandson of James) went to live with his > uncle.I will look that up and let you know which one went to Tx..I do have > obit for James son William who went to Allen Co.Ky..There is also another > Howell family in Allen Co.that my husband's maternal uncle married into.I > haven't been able to place them with the family of John and Nancy but I > thought it was a real coincidence that they ended up in the same place.Let > me know if I might have something you are interested in. > Jeany in Indiana > > > ==== HOWELL Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from the HOWELL discussion list, send a message to [email protected] (mail mode) or [email protected] (digest) with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. >
