I am looking for Robert Henry HOWELL b. March 7, 1788 who married Dorothy V. BRIGGS on July 6, 1813 in Powhatan County, VA and moved to Spring Place GA in 1814, then on to McMinn Co., TN by 1820's. Robert Henry died in McMinn County, TN January 30, 1834. His son Robert Nathaniel Henry Howell married Elizabeth NICHOLSON and they moved to TX by mid 1850's. They were in Smith County, TX until late 1870's when they moved to Comanche County where he stayed until his death in 1896. I am stuck in TN, cannot make the connection to Robert Henry Howell in VA or to his parents. We have located Dorothy's ancestry all the way back and allied families but are stuck on Robert Henry Howell. So any help would be appreciated. Their families seemed to be around Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Amelia Counties in VA. My web page: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/t/r/a/Darlene--Tracy/ODT0001-0001.html dtracy1124@aol.com
