The family moved to Illinois in the 1850s and then to the NW Madison County areain 1862. Two of the children are buried in Penn Center, Penn Township, Madison Co. Iowa. James R.

Jason Howell on 24 March 1869 in Dallas County. The Howells lived in Northern Missouri for many years and returned to Iowa in 1906 lived in Valley Junction until 1919 then moved back to the Panora area.
