Searching for HOWELL, John W. born about 1810, maybe VA, married Mary HILL (widow of Thomas LILLARD) in Livingston Co., KY 1852. This family is found in the 1860 census Haradin Co., IL with children George W., John, James B., Mary J. Their son George W. was born in Lyon Co., KY. Believe James B. was born in Crittenden Co., KY about 1859. Mary J. born about 1849 may have been a child from Mary Hill and Thomas Lillard. George W. may have married a Carrie GILBERT and moved to Missouri. James B(luford) married a Mary Ellen (Mollie) Long in Crittenden Co. The rest of the family disappears after the 1860 census. Any information would be very much appreciated. Jean Smallwood E-Mail: jeansmal@ix.netcom.com Home Page: http://www.netcom.com/~jeansmal/genhome.html
