I am looking for Robert HOWELL b. March 7, 1788 who married Dorothy V. BRIGGS on July 6, 1813 in Powhatan County, VA and moved to McMinn Co., TN aft 1816. Robert died at Spring Place, Murray Co., GA January 30, 1834. He was in Spring Place after 1828 for a spell to build on the Joseph Vann and David McNair homes. His son Robert Nathaniel Henry HOWELL married Elizabeth NICHOLSON and they moved to TX by mid 1850's. They were in Smith County, TX until late 1870's when they moved to Comanche County where he stayed until his death in 1896. I am stuck in TN, cannot make the connection to Robert HOWELL in VA or to his parents. We have located Dorothy's ancestry on her mothers side quite a ways back but are stuck on Robert Henry HOWELL. So any help would be appreciated. Their families seemed to be around Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Amelia Counties in VA.
