I am truly sorry. That previous email was not ready to be sent! You know that goes. I was holding it back to check on a date. But now I will continue anyway. Read what I had sent and then I will continue... > Hi. I am a descendant of Reason Howell, born in Shelby County, Ohio in > 1817. While we have family members looking for him, we know little about > him except that he married Mary Helmick in Shelby County in 1846. We have > the marriage certificate of 1846. However, we also have the listing of We have a listing of the children and Anna Marier Howell is listed as 1840. So I was going to double check her birthdate. The other children are William Howell in 1846, Mary Howell about 1856, George Washington Howell about 1959... My question is whether any of this rings a bell with any or you? Thanks. Jan Hoeppner
