My dear Nephew:
Yours of March 2nd is to hand, and I am glad to hear from you once more,and later in this letter I will give you the information as far as I amable. I got the following from my grandfather, Joseph Howell, during hislife time.
During the persecution of the Protestants by the Catholics in Wales, theHowells, being Baptists and therefore Protestants, they with many otherswere forced from their homes, and were compelled to hide in caves andsecret places for safety from their enemies. John Howell, the father ofmy grandfather, Joseph Howell, immigrated to America and settled inVirginia, where he died.
Of the sons of John Howell, one moved to South Carolina, two toTennessee, two to Kentuckey, one (Henry) remained in Virginia, andJoseph, my grandfather, moved to Cabarrus County, North Carolina,previous to the Revolutionary War. He brought his mother with him and shelived to be about a hundred years old. I saw her buried from th HainesMeeting House in Cabarrus when a boy.
Joseph Howell, my grandfather, married Margaret Eleanor Garmon, a Germanwoman. John Howell, the eldest son of Joseph married Escena Osborn ofIrish descent who died in Haywood County, North Carolina, age 89. Thenext son, Joseph Jr., married Silva Robbins. He died in Cabarrus, age 123years. The next was a girl, Elizabeth. Her first husband was Eli Green,and her second husband was Jacob Smith. She died in Jackson County,Alabama, age 95. Henry Howell, my father married Mary Miller of Germandescent. Father died in Haywood County, North Carolina, age 91. The nextson, Eli Howell married Nancy Love of Irish descent. He died in RandolphCounty, Alabama, over 90 years of age. Next a daughter, Margaret, marriedEdmond Smith. She died in Gordon County, Georgia, age 95. The next son,Wm. Howell, married Elizabeth Sides. He died age 35 to 40. The next son,Isaac Howell, married Margaret Tucker of German descent. He died in CobbCounty, GA., age 76. The next son Evan Howell, was married five times:First Mary Elliott. She died. Then Jane Brooks. She died. Then HarrietOwens. He died in Gwinnett County, GA., age 89. The next son MichaelHowell, married Mary Freeman. He died in Montgomery County, Arkansas, age75. Eleanor Howell married John Kiser. She died in Campbell County, GA,age 70. I was born February 19,1803

Hoping to hear from you soon.
