I have some miscellaneous David Howell info as my 6th ggrandmother was born to David and Sussannah Hylton Howell. She was Nancy Howell Rigney who was married in 1810 in Montgomery to Isham (not David as shown below) Rigney and lived most of her life in Floyd and Carroll Co.'s . Over the years, as the boundaries changed , so did her address, - not I think from moving so much as from the boundaries themselves moving. None of the info concerning anyone but Nancy Howell Rigney ( my direct ancestor) is confirmed - and is an accumulation of info retrieved from books, Ancestry.com and the internet. A good example of how things can get confused is the last (3) notation below in which someone has posted that my Nancy was born in 1800 - which is completely inaccurate as I have her father's sworn statement that she was wed in Montgomery in 1808 and her first child (children and their birth years also sworn to) was born 1809. I have other sworn statements as to her husband's name being Isham/Isom - as he was killed in the War of 1812 and Nancy collected a pension for herself and her three legitimate small children, Jinsy (Female) David (Male) and Alexander (Male). Nancy would later have two more children Elijah (male and my 5th ggrandfather) and Henley C Rigney. Although these children bore the Rigney name - it was not possible that Nancy's husband Isham/Isom sired them. Perhaps a brother? Perhaps they were simply given the name to curtail embarassment? Hope these points help someone. Dusty Smith 1.) Grayson County was established from Wythe County, VA, in 1792. Wythe was established from Montgomery County in 1789/90.
