[or-roots] Illinois marriage

[Kith-n-Kin]

Glen

 

As you may recall, I’m working on the histories of the families of T06SR01W – which partly includes Howell Prairie. In the next Twp west, T06S02W,  W Howell, is listed in 1878. The next twp south, 06S, shows DLCs that were Howells.  

 

The DLCs indicated in T06SR02W,  Sections 34, 35 are  Wesley Howell (Notification # 298 Claim #46), and Thomas C Howell (Notification # 291, claim #58). In the next Twp below, T07SR02W, section 3, was John Howell (claim # 47).   Do you happen to know who these Howell’s married? Particularly from Abiqua [which my Portland relatives tell me is pronounced A ́(as in “at”) bi (as in “but”) qua (as in quality). Accent on the “A” – I have had to be coached on many words up there. My southwest partiality toward Latin accents and vowels gets me every time, except for Willamette), Woodburn, or Silver Creek?

This is Glen again, checked my database, Both my wife and I have Howell's in our families, her's I do not have anything on except names and have not done any research on them, mine except for 4 were all born in Oregon the other four were born in Iowa and Illinois and likewise I have not done a lot of research on them, I do know a lot of the people in my wife's family did come from Virginia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Etc. and many currently live in Kansas, my wife also has relatives that lived in Howell Prairie and one still does, at least we believe she is still alive it has been a couple of years since we heard from or talked to her.

Dale; I always forget that most email gets scrunched; the Johnson is the
county of marriage, so now it is smorgasboard time depeding on whether the
1843 date matches or the the "about 1837"

what that says is Howell, James T.  married  Sarah S Rentrfo on 10 January
1843 in Johnson Co. Illinois. I didn't find Sarah Shadwell in the index with
a Howell, but talk about name coincidnces, this may not be your line, but I
bet it is connected to the earlier marriage  i posted;

RENTFROW, EARL     Married  SHADWELL, EFFIE     1909-Nov-11    Book 3   page
85            EFFINGHAM Co., IL

Huh, is she named for the county, or for an ancestor the county was named
for??

I will have to look that up at home.  I am confused by the Howell, James
T Johnson though.  What does that mean?  I know that my James middle
name was Ellison because I have seen it on several documents including
land records that I got from the BLM site.
