In Testimon whereof I have

[Transcribed from copy of original will obtained from William
Asadovian, of the Queenborough Public Library, Long Island Division]
As legend has it, Richard was the son of John Howell. The family
immigrated to Connecticut in 1640 with that of Peter Hallock. There
were three sons. Soon after they arrived, John died and his widow
with her children returned to England. When John came, he is said to
have brought an old family bible and coat of arms. In this bible & it
told of our Welsh ancestry. This bible was passed down through the
family for many years. It is last known to have been in the hands of
James Howell (1890), son of Phineas, daughter's daughter. When she
was dying, she asked her husband to give it to her sister - after that
it is all a mystery. Supposedly, James Howell born 1790 was the last
entry in the bible. As to whether this story is true - no one knows
but it has come down with family tradition & most likely has some
truth to it.
The coat of arms that John possessed was the same as that of
Edward Howell of Southampton but no proof has ever been found linking
these two families. Edward was born about 1600 and could possibly be a
brother to John. Further investigation is needed to prove any of
this.
Richard came or returned to America with his mother and her new
husband, Mr. Hallock. It is said that he had promised his new wife
that if she came that her son would share in his lands with his sons.
His land lays on the border of what is now Riverhead and Aquebogue
towns. This land is adjacent to that of Peter Hallock. Tradition has
stated that the Widow Howell married Peter Hallock & that her
daughter, Margaret married Peter Hallock's son William and Richard
married Peter's daughter Elizabeth. This is questionable. It is also
believed the Widow was the Margaret who married William Hallock &
Peter who was probably the father of William never came to this
country. This conclusion would be consistant with a some documents
found in the old trunk that had belonged to Richard Howell.
Notes of Interest:
-1675, Father-in-law William Hallock deeded land to him; west side of
Howell farm was dividing line between Southold & Riverhead making it a
part of Southold; Riverhead Town [1792] originally Aquebogue;
Jamesport Church originally Aquebogue Meeting House [1731];
-12 November 1678 earliest document found of Richard Howell is receipt
to John Salmon for shingling my house;
-10 February 1684 - William Hallock names daughter Elizabeth in his
will. [Unfortunately William does not name the husbands of his
daughters]
-11/23/1684 - Statement of John Roe & his wife about expressed wishes
of John Harrud concerning disposition of his property to his wife &
children. [Note: This seems to indicate John Harrud died before
11/23/1684]
-9/26/1685 - Receipt to Elizabeth Howell 14/11s/9d "of her former
husband's estate." This item is from Elizabeth Howell. Second receipt
is to Richard Howell for goods to the value of 3s/3d "of his wife's
estate". Receipt is signed by Benjamin Moore & also lists other
payments made by Richard Howell to others.
-1686 - Richard Howell listed as head of family consisting of 6 white
males & 3 white females.
- 1692 - Richard made an account of what tobacco had been sold at home
& at the town - among the entries was "Mother Hallock five pounds" for
2s.6d.
It is possible that Richard's mother was Margaret Howell & was
the step son of William Hallock. If this is true, it seems improbable
that he would have married Elizabeth, d/o William & Margaret. If
original tradition holds true, Margaret would have been his sister &
he may have married her daughter. Nothing conclusive can be made.
Richard was on the tax rolls of Southold Township in 1675 for 77
pounds & in 1683 for 98 pounds. He resided next to the Hallock land.
