Joe, I is right here! The names "Elijah" and "Andrew" are interesting. I'm wondering if perhaps our Howells in Grayson County, Virginia are from Loudon County, Va and related to Hugh Howell's family? Hugh Howell died with a will in 1777, and names sons Benjamin, Abner, John, and other names quite familiar to us in SouthWest Virginia! Old Elijah Howell was down in South Carolina, forget at the moment what county he was in, but his father John Howell was born in Virginia. I'm wondering if perhaps his father was John Howell, son of Hugh? And if the Benjamin Howell who died in Montgomery County, VA in 1799 isn't really Benjamin Howell son of Hugh? Didn't Benjamin have brothers named David and Abner? These are also names listed as sons of Hugh Howell. Hopefully, someone on this list list is familiar with the Hugh Howell line in Loudon County, Virginia. I'm also interested in seeing if the Hash and Osborne families were also in Loudon before showing up in SW Virginia. George Howell is an interesting fellow. He shows up with land on Turkey Fork of Elk Creek in the early 1780's with a widow Sarah Howell who I'm convinced is either a sister-in-law or mother of George, James and William Howell. It seems our Grayson bunch are all descended from one of those three. Now, Hugh's son OLD Abner, went up into Pennsylvania, and was born about 1744, so he's old enough to have been a father or uncle to these older Howells. Also, the Abner down in Botetourt (and Montgomery?) was married to a Hannah JAMES. I'm wondering if her James family was from Pitt County, N.C.? This James family is connected to my LaFevers in Tennessee, and some of the LaFevers are intermarried with descendants of John and Nancy Brewer Howell of White County, TN. Lets see what we can come up with on old Hugh Howell's bunch! I betcha there's a connection. I wasn't aware previously of his Loudon County, VA will of 1777.

I'm quoting from the book "The Howells of New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio and Points West" by Richard E. Wallace, Robert W. Cameron and Carmen J. Finley, published in1994 by Heritage Books, Bowie, MD. "The children of Hugh and Margaret (Hixon) Howell have been identified from his 1777 will. Their names will be restated, along with their actual or approximate dates of birth an d their birth places. i. William Howell, born about 1745, in New Jersey. ii. Andrew Howell, born about 1753, in New Jersey. iii. John Howell, born about 1753, in New Jersey. iv. Abner Howell, born before 1755, in New Jersey. v. Benjamin Howell, born about 1755, in New Jersey. vi. Daniel Howell, born about 1757, in New Jersey. vii. Reuben Howell, born 26 Frbruary 1762, near Trenton, New Jersey. viii. Rachel Howell, born before March 1777, in New Jersey or Virginia. ix. Ann Howell, born before March 1777, in New Jersey of Virginia. " This book follows the family to about 1850, with much documentation and proofs of the statements made in it. If oyu can find a copy, it will be very useful. I believe it is out of print now. The three authors are really careful to prove eveything they write.
