In a message dated 98-04-21 12:03:18 EDT, you write: << Ezekiel and Rachael (???) HOWELL both born in Trenton, Mercer, NJ in 1820 married and moved on the KY and then up to Macon county, IL. They may have lived in PA for a very short time also. Most of their children were born in KY and a couple in IL. The childrens names were Henry William, Ezekiel O, Hannah M, Hettie A E, George W, Elizabeth, and Emma. I would like to hear from anyone researching any Howell family that would have moved from Trenton, NJ to KY. >> Do you know who Ezekial Howell's parents were? I am descended from Daniel Howell Sr (1689-1732) and his wife Mary. They came to what is now Ewing (near Trenton) NJ from Southampton, Long Island. I have a direct blood line to there son Daniel Howell Jr (1715-1763) and his wife Abigail Clark. Gerald Varner Bordentown,New Jersey Rootsman57@aol.com
