Bebe- I am familiar with your William Stroud; I believe you are referring to Fannie Stroud who married Edward Howell who died ca 1796 in Sumner County, Tennessee. I have quite a few references to this Edward Howell in Orange such as 1788 Orange County, North Carolina, taxpayers list in St. Thomas District. He is also listed as in an Orange County land deed Oct 11, 1787: Edwd Howel enters 300 acres in Orange on waters of Morgins Cr; border Henry Morris. Another land deed Jan 24. 1791 Benj Howell enters 100 acres in Orange on waters of Morgans Cr; border his own land and Stephen Lloyd. And Benjamin is with Edward on the 1788 Orange County, North Carolina, taxpayers list in St. Thomas District. I am guessing they are brothers. I have been researching the Terrells as well. In the book Terrell Genealogy, author Emma Dicken cites the 1811 Orange County will of Andrew Brooks which mentions his sister Sally, the wife of Joseph Terrell but she doesn't know where this Joseph Terrell fits into the other Terrells of that area. Lots of clues and lots more work to do.... Pam
