Descendants of Charles Howell
of Cayuga County, New York

These are three generations of descendants of Charles Stanley Howell, a brick wall in my research. The LDS website says his father's name was John, but a trip to my local LDS library failed to flush out further details. Based on the geography of migration patterns, I suspect he may have come from the Long Island (Suffolk) Howells or perhaps New Jersey. Charles' son Edward worked for the State of New York procuring mules for the Erie Canal (mules towed the canal boats and barges) and took frequent trips to Virginia (where he met his wife). I'm not aware of any connection to Virginia Howells.
