Surnames: Howell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wUB.2ACE/778 Message Board Post: I was told about Frances Howell, a researcher of Howell's in this county and Johnston County, and was told to look for her here. I am researching Fristus Howell, his siblings Mary, London King, Appie, Nell, Elizabeth (Bet), Tilithia, Luetta (Lou), Genetta and Preston. His parents are Jethro and Laurenda Batten Howell. Jethro's siblings are Tilethy (m Barden Pearce), Apsiela Howell (m. Moses Hill), Kissire. Jethro's parents were Charles and Sophia. I don't have proof of Charles, but think I do of Sophia, in the Census records. I've found an entry in familysearch.com listing Charles' father as Henry Howell. I would appreciate any help here, I'm finding better success in the hen's-teeth-pulling arena than I am here! Thank you
