Surnames: Howell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wUB.2ACE/756 Message Board Post: I was told that my ggrandfather Fristus Howell (wife Katie Elizabeth Watkins) was a sheriff in North Carolina. I found a Howell in the 1920 Wayne county NC Census who was a deputy sheriff for the county, but his name is not Fristus. How do I find records for this sheriff ancestor? J'Anette V. Scott
