Family Person

The Vollie and Ethel Howell family history site (https://vollieandethelhowell.godaddysites.com/howell-ancestors) states that THIS John Howell (b.22 Nov 1624, d.3 Nov 1696, Southampton NY - matches this record's dates exactly) married Susannah Mitchell in 1647, and that it was actually his SON, John Howell II (b.1648 d.1692), who married Elizabeth Shelby. If that source is accurate, Elizabeth Shelby (currently linked as this John Howell's wife) may actually belong one generation later, as the wife of a John Howell II who would need to be added as a child of this couple. This is a single non-professional compiled source, not confirmed elsewhere, so I have NOT changed any relationships - flagging for review before any restructuring.

WikiTree (Howell-155) and Geni both document this person as Major John Howell, b. bapt. 22 Nov 1624, d. 3 Nov 1696, Southampton, Suffolk County, NY, buried Old South End Burying Ground. Parents Edward Howell & Frances Paxton and spouse Susannah Mitchell exactly match this tree. Sourced to published genealogy: Ross & Faris, Descendants of Edward Howell (1584-1655), Gateway Press 1985.
