Children were Thomas, Mahlon, Samuel, Jane Responding to Will Douglas Smith's 27 April 1998 message "HOWELL, Timothy: Loudoun County, VA"--we encountered Timothy Howell in our research for the book "The Howells of New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio and Points West" by Richard Wallace, Robert W. Cameron, Carmen Finley, 1994, Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, Md. On page 34 we say (in reference to Abner Howell): "It is interesting to speculate that Timothy Howell was the father of one of the Abners we found in Loudoun County. However Timothy's 1794 will does not list Abner as an heir. The will refers to sons Samuel, Mahlon, and Thomas. Incidentally this will has a Quaker style date (5th day of the second month 1794). Timothy and his wife Rebecca have been found in the Quaker records........." We do not identify the parents of Timothy, and since we could not determine whether Timothy was related to our Hugh Howell and Abner Howell we have not done an exhaustive study on him and his branch.
