Hello: Sorry about taking so long to get back to you. Really I don't know much about the Ottaway family. I am trying to get information on the Howell family. This Lee Howell was a brother to my wife's great grandfather David William Wilson Howell. Your letter is very interesting and I see how you might think that there might be a connection. Sorry, that I don't know anything that might help you.
