Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the descendants of Edward Howell (1584-1655), who was the son of Henry and Margaret Hawten Howell. Their ancestors were English, and probably Welsh. Edward was born in Buckingham shire, England. His first wife was Frances Paxton, who died in England in 1630. Edward's second wife, Eleanor, immigrated with him to Boston, Massachusetts in 1639. They settled first in Lynn, Massachusetts. In 1640, Edward led a group who founded Southampton, on Long Island, New York. Some descendants migrated to Ewing Township, New Jersey ca. 1700; some moved to Westhampton Beach, Suffolk County, New York in 1727; and others to moved to Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Later descendants also lived in England, and in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., and elsewhere.
