Howell, Robert Franklin

Howell Family of Winn Parish, LA
Submitted by: Grady L. McFarland, 379 Packton-Alex Rd, Winnfield, La

Grandson of Voila Eudoria Howell Melton
From: Personal database records, records of Mrs. Iva Lea Howell Elliot, Robert W Howell, cemetery censuses and interviews with Voila Howell Melton and her sisters (now deceased).

Following is a listing of descendants/kin of Robert Franklin Howell and Sarilda Frances Hooper family that emigrated to Winn Parish from Hardeman County, Tenn. in 1907. All of their children were born in Tenn. except for twins (DeSoto & DeLeon) born after arrival .

They initially lived in Sec5-T9N-R2W (Grant)next to BE Melton place. Then they moved to Moore area in 16-10-2 and ran a boarding house. Robert F. bought property from CA and Alice Long White in Jan 1910 in 36-10-3 (Winn) by the present Packton-Alex Rd and built a house where younger children were raised. Dogpen/log house was used until the 1950's.

Records of the writer go back to 1683 and early settlement in North Carolina. Following listing notes the family that moved from North Carolina to Tenn and finally to Louisiana. It does not note the earlier Brents, Hoopers and Howells prior to La. migration. Seven generations are noted - complete list would be eleven generations. List was stopped at seven for control. All children of gens. 5 & 6 are not listed.

Beginning: Etheldred (1668 - Wales); Henry Sr (1693 - Va & NC): had two families and 10 children (names not listed here).
