For HOWELL-L web page, see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html As a new subscriber, I thought the best way to introduce myself was to list my HOWELL line. Taking off from a point familiar to most researchers who have Long Island (New York) Howells: 1 Josiah Howell b. 1675 d. 11-Apr-1752 m. Mary Johnes b. 1681 d. 20-May-1766 2 Josiah Howell b. 12-May-1709 d. 1-Nov-1775 m. Unknown Mitchell 3 John Howell m. Elizabeth Brewster b. 1745 d. 27-Feb-1831 "of Canoe Place, 1785, and later of Ketchabonac" 4 John Mitchell Howell b. 27-Sep-1772 d. 30-Jul-1863 m. Mary Halsey b. 1778 d. 19-Dec-1802 m. Clarissa Fanning 5 John Howell b. 1801 d. after 1880 m. 18-Dec-1824 Eliza Miller 6 George Miller Howell b. 19-Jul-1839 d. 1923 m. 17-May-1869 Mary Harriette Goldsmith b. 1848 d. 4-Mar-1883 m. 11-Aug-1887 Sarah Lavinia (Sallie) Jewett b. 23-Feb-1846 m. Ellen Griffin George Miller Howell lived his life on the family farm in Southold, Long Island, which which was owned by our family until the 1950's. George is in the Ross/Faris "Descendants of Edward Howell", p. 318, but I don't believe his children have ever been recorded in print. George's children: 2 Eliza Miller Howell b. ?-Mar-1870 m. 1902 Charles E. Sharp 2 Helen Phillips Howell b. 26-Nov-1871 d. 4-Aug-1968 (my grandmother) m. 8-Jun-1899 Herbert Vincent Neal b. 3-Apr-1869 d. 21-Feb-1940 2 Lillian Moore Howell b. 14-Aug-1873 d. 4-Sep-1971 Never married 2 Mary Harriet Howell b. 1876 m. 1900 Joseph Albert Wells b. 21-Feb-1883 2 John Van Mater Howell b. 17-Oct-1878 d. 27-Nov-1956 Never married 2 Roy Goldsmith Howell b. ?-Jan-1880 m. 1907 Margaret Douohoe m. Gertrude Le Comte Stohr 2 Eleanor Howell b. 1881 m. 29-Mar-1911 Ferdinand Kranenburg Of course, I have information going back many generations not shown, and several going forward. I also have compiled (from published sources, mainly) information on the MILLER, GOLDSMITH, BREWSTER, and HALSEY lines. I'd be interested in hearing from any cousins out there with whom I might compare notes. Bill Wilson Mill Valley, California wdwilson@netwizards.net
