My great grandfather was Fristus Haywood Howell, wife Katie Elizabeth Watkins. Some children include Thadeus, William Haywood, Julie, and about 9 others. parents of Fristus are Jethro and Ida Howell. I found a Thad Howell in Wayne County 1920 Census whose occupation was Deputy Sheriff for the county, whose wife was Winnie, and whose one child was Eva. My Fristus was supposed to be Sheriff, but his name wasn't Thad. Any relation? J'Anette
