Millie Alexander here - thanks again to Dana - I am at a block wall on my HOWELL family, so any bit of information would help please: John HOWELL, b. 27, April 1860 near Usk, Monmouthshire, England and came to U.S. with parents ? & Mary Jane Howell and possibly 6-7 other children. They landed in New York from Liverpool around September, 1860 and traveled by covered wagon to Nebraska. In 1881 he described that he was 21 years old and had a brother, Matthew Howell who was a State Senator in Nebraska. He married Esther Montgomery from Warwick England around 1891 and their first child, Bertha Jane was born 1892 at McCool Junction, York Co. Nebraska. They then moved to Oxford, NE Harlan Co. later on and more children were born there. I need to know more about his family, as I do not have names except for Matthew and there was a sister named Ann. If anyone has a connection about this family in Nebraska, please contact me. Millie - ishkani@ibm.net
