There sure seems to be a lot of Howells, but very few from Mississippi. I know my grandfather had at least two brothers, Sam and Wiley and he was born in Leake county Mississippi. He died of TB in 1932 or 33 probably in Bolivar County Mississippi. He was married to my grandmother, Ludie Kuykendall of Polk county Arkansas. They had six children. Elzie Jr, Viola, Ruby, Onie Mae, Louise, Clarence, Mildred. But still I can't find any information on him. Nothing on when he married. I did find them listed as Hall on the 1920 Census in Bolivar county. Keep hoping someone will find them somewhere. I have ordered the 1900 census search for Bolivar county and Polk county hoping to find something on grandmother or grandfather. If anyone has any thing on any Howells or Kuykendalls in Mississippi or Arkansas I would sure be intrested. Thanks Charlotte
