Misc. Notes
John Howell came from Maryland and settled in Hardin County, in what is now the Otter Creek Precinct. Here he lived the life of a pioneer farmer, raising a large and respected family, among whom was John Howell, the father of James Howell.
John Howell farmed on a small scale all his life, being in moderate circumstances, and the largest tract he ever owned was 100 acres; at his death he owned nothing. He was married twice; first to Miss Mary Hall, by whom he had six children; Philip, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary and Margaret. The second time he married Miss Rachael Brown, daughter of James and Mary (Matchett) Brown - the former of whom came from Ireland, the latter from Wales - and from this union, which occurred in 1820, sprang James, Meredith, Nancy (Jackson), and Amanda.
