<P>In Relation to the Howells, I have been doing some research on mine since this thread, another name associated with the Howell's here in Oregon is "Hayden", I am find also most of my Howell's lived in Benton County and Lincoln County.</P>
<P>Some of my Howell names are</P>
<P>Austin, Susan (Wife of Austin) Walter, Bertha, Stephin (Stephen), Electra Belknap Howell, William, Nancy Ann, Silas, (Wife, Jerusha) Ida May, Mary A., and a Virgil.</P>
<P>I have yet to look at the Howell's in my Wife's family.</P>

But maybe I spelled Mary Jones' grandmother's name wrong in my previous email. The Find A Grave memorial shows her name as: Rosalia Morss Buoy (1840 - 1900) - it has two s's rather than 2 r's. But then names often get misspelled in various places, & sometimes even get changed deliberately. That surely keeps us guessing, & we need to be open minded when searching for our folks. ~Gerrie In a message dated 6/11/2009 10:27:26 A.M.

The Howell thread involves the surname Marrs and the maiden name of Mary Jones' grandmother was Morrs? Probably just a coincidence, but given the spelling eccentricities (note my list of Llewellyn anagrams last night that may have all been one family) it is always possible there is a connection.
