Brenda, You might be interested in going to this site and find a Carmichael/Howell lead. http://www.wdbd.net/~tnknox/tnbaptists/index.html It seems that John Howell Carmichael was a babtist minister and there is quite a write up for him. His mother was Prudence Howell Carmichael I hope this helps if you do not already have it. Jean M.
