(This is my husband's line.) Have you subbed to the Jackson Co, AL list?.......if not, you need to ASAP as they're about to go under the end of May.............there has been a bit of activity on HOWELL's from this Co, so you might find something over there on yours. We also have twins in our family, but in the next generations. Following my post for our HOWELL's, is the info on the Jackson Co list. Information on our HOWELL family line starts with : ................Alfred HOWELL m "Dicy"__?___no other info except they had 5 children: Crawford HOWELL b 1835 NC, m Sarah __?__in 1857. Miles HOWELL b 1842 TN *Sarah Jane HOWELL b 12 Feb 1845 AL Martha HOWELL b 1847 AL Ralph HOWELL b 1849 AL *Sarah Jane HOWELL b 12 Feb 1845 AL m 1 Apr 1862, Jackson Co, AL to Wm Asbury THORNTON b 28 Jul 1835 in Stevenson, Jackson Co, AL they had 5 children: *George Washington THORNTON-----My husband's G-G'Fa Mary A. THORNTON Sarah Jane THORNTON James C. THORNTON Walter William THORNTON It's obvious our Alfred was "a travelin' man" since our 5 children by him were born in 3 different states.......so it doesn't appear to be too far-fetched to speculate he continued traveling........ extended family names: CARLTON, GOODMAN, HENRY, HOLLOWAY, HOWELL, LEWALLEN, MUSE, NEFF, RODEBAUGH, ROSS, SIMON(s), STEWART, THORNTON ---------------------------------------------- Jackson Co.
