• Notes

  Donnelly Notes: "In accepting [the present] John Howell, of Middle Island in the Town of Brookhaven, as a son of John Howell, of West Mattituck in the Town of Southold, we follow Charles E. Craven, who was probably following Richard M. Bayles, who stated that '..we are fairly supported in the supposition that the John Howell whom tradition says was born about 1718 was the son of John, who was the son of the first Richard and that he was the first Howell of Brookhaven who settled here about 1739, he then being about 21 years old.' On the other hand, this leaves unaccounted for the John Howell, weaver of Southold, who died on 19 Mch 1741, and whose will of 11 Nov Nov 1740, by which he left the use of his dwelling house and furnishings to his wife, Alethea, was proved on 26 Mch 1740/1. She died on 7 May 1751. By her will of 13 Nov 1746, proved on 7 June 1751, she left her estate to her near kinsman, John Benjamin, of Southold, and named her kinsman, James Reeve, executor. This would seem to indicate that John and Alathea Howell had no children; however, since the name of Althea was frequently used among the descendants of John Howell, of Middle Island, it would seem that there must have been some relationship. Further, since Richard Howell left his lands in Brookhaven to his sons, Jonathan and Richard, and Richard had but one son, Richard, it would seem possible that [the present] John Howell, of Middle Island, might have been a son of Jonathan Howel, who apparently removed to Southampton, and regarding whom no further information has been found."
