Even with the Howell roll call, this is very frustrating, I can't find a trace of my William Howell and wife Nancy McGeary. I did find them in the census records with the surname spelled Howel. All the records I have say they both were born in Pa., but as Washington Co. has disputes over it's boundaries maybe it was W.VA. or Ohio. I do know my g-grandfather was born 1844 in what is now considered Washington Co., Pa., and raised his family there, as even my dad was born in Washington, Pa. This has really been a dead-end any help would be much appreciated. Paula Chodacki Almont, MI. buckskin@cardina.net
