The 1880 census for Jasper County looks like Daniel's wife is listed as "Am". There was a Daniel Howell who had a wife named Amanda. In 1889 he filed for a Civil War Pension. He died about 1900-1901 and his wife, Amanda J., filed for a widow's pension in Feb. 1901. This Daniel was in Co. G. 14 Ohio Infantry. Must be wrong one. You can go to the Civil War Pension Index in AncestryLibrary.com and see the application or I can scan and send an image. I could not find any reference to any Howells going to Texas. The librarian in the genealogy room could not figure out that reference about them going to Texas, either. There were other Howells living in Jasper County. A John Howell committed suicide by hanging in about 1889. He was about the same age as Daniel. I think I told you about that one back when I took that picture of Elizabeth's stone. He lived not far from Hackney Cem. John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
