Carmelita, Nancy and the HOWELL list recepiants. In my data there is a Joshua HOWELL born about 1814, perhaps in OH that married Matilda HAMILTON in 1834. Their children were: Abigail, Archibald and Thomas. By any chance is this the Joshua in your query? I would be delighted to correspond with anyone about this HOWELL line, or any of the associated lines, like MELTON and HARRINGTON.
