Hello all HOWELL reseachers. I am new to this list and need some help. I am researching the following family of HOWELLs. I believe that Stephen was from North Carolina, but I have seen other information that he was from South Carolina. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been stuck with Stephen for a few years, and would love to get beyond him and on to the next puzzle. 1 Stephen HOWELL b. 1794 m. Winney HOWELL b. 1805 2 John M.
