Memoirs of Morton Boyte Howell
R. B. C. Howell's Genealogical Note
January 23, 1909

Many years ago, my father [Robert Boyte Crawford
Howell, hereafter R. B. C. Howell] wrote on the blank
leaves in a copy of Henry's Commentary1
, the following:
October 2, 1834
My great grandfather, Ethelred Howell of the
house of Tudor in Wales emigrated to Jamestown,
Virginia, where my grandfather, Henry Howell, was
born, in 1693. He [Henry] raised a family of four
sons, near South Quay, on Blackwater River, in
Nansemond County, Virginia.2
