Unfortunately, none of this sounds familiar to me. My Howells came down from South Carolina into Georgia, and ultimately to Pasco and Hernando Counties in Florida. I have pictures of the old homesites they married into and settled in Florida, and my aunts and cousins still raise oranges and orchids on the old land. But I don't have any info on collateral lines moving into Tennesee...sorry! But thanks, anyway. Judith
