Ann Howelll Downer and her husband Joseph are living in Gulledge Township. In 1850, it was referred to as "Smith's", but likely the same place. Although they had no children, they took in a number of boarders, so that the laughter of children filled their home.

Youngest Howell sister, Christina and her husband David have also moved from Stanly to Anson County, are living in Cedar Hill near the Shankles.

Brother Thomas Jordan Howell, who married Regina Moore in Montgomery County on 1856, has moved to Carroll County, Mississippi. He lives next to P. Simpson, and a Physcian, Dr. Charles McCaskill, who are also from North Carolina. As son Joseph is listed as having been born in Anson County, North Carolina, and only a year old and a 5 month old McCaskill child is the only one of his siblings listed as being born in Mississippi, I'd say their arrival had been within 9 months to a year.

Dowd Howell, the youngest of the brood, was found living in Wadesboro with a Milliner named Elizabeth Hemby. Elizabeth was his mother-in-law and 17 year old Eugenia was his wife.

From The Wadesboro Argus:

January 26, 1860 issue

235. Married on the 16th Dec., by James A. LILES, Esq., Mr. D.W. HOWELL to Miss Eugenia HEMBY, all of this place.

He was listed as a Carriage Maker. Having a profession in a growing marketplace may have been why A. D. Howell remained in Anson County and did not follow his parents and siblings when they migrated away.

Then came war. Anson, close to South Carolina, was known as the land of plantations, much more so than Stanly or Montgomery Counties. There were the Ingrams, the Flakes, the Littles, the Wades, the Walls, the Crumps, the Culpeppers, the Colsons, the Lees, the Boggans, the Lilly's, the Caudles and Kikers, just to name a few.

Rank In:	Private

Dowd Howell served as a Private in the 43rd North Carolina Infantry. He was stationed at Camp Holmes and recruited by a Capt. B. F. Moore. In July of 1862, he was promoted to Sgt. but on Nov. 17, of the same year, he was reduced to ranks under order of Col. Kenon. By June of 1863, he was sent to Camp Guiness by the surgeon of the unit for medical treatment. By Christmas he was working on a gunboat at Kinston. Shortly after that assignment, he is listed as a Prisoner of War. The 27 year old is listed on a Roll of Honor later on. A roll of prisoners of war informs that he was captured on September 19, 1864 at Winchester, Va and held at Fort McHenry, Maryland, until the end of the war.

He took an oath of allegiance in February of 1865 and returned home.

There are no records of the other "Brother-in-laws" fighting in the War. There was a David Ross in Illinois, but the family had not removed yet in that direction.

1870

This was the decade of changes for the family. I have their time of migration as around 1866. The year after the Civil War ended.

Thomas Jordan Howell and family remained in Mississippi. Oldest daughter Ann Howell Hough and youngest son Dowd Howell, remained in Anson County, but the three other sisters, Missouri, Christina and Elmira, along with their elderly parents, James and Sarah, and even older grandmother, Judith, relocated to Hancock County, Illinois.

Hancock County is located on the banks of the Mississippi River. Located above the states of Missouri and Mississippi, we on the East Coast normally do not think of Illinois when it comes to the river.

William, Elmira, and their large family are living in the community of Harmony in the 1870 cenus, and with them are not only septinarians, James and Sarah Howell, but 98 year old Judy. One would have thought with as rough as travel was in those days, wagon or train at best, and the distance involved, that they would have stayed in North Carolina with Ann, who had no children, or with Dowd, who only had one, and not yet.

The townships of Hancock County

were layed out rather squarely. While his parents settled in Harmony township, John Armstrong Hough purchased land in St. Mary's.

In the book, "The History of Hancock County, Illinois" an account of a tornado or windstorm that occured in the 1870's includes this portion of the account, "Further on Mr. John Elder's barn recieved a gentle hint that it was not in the right place. and moving it a few feet and turning it around, the tornado moved on to the Huff farm.

Here was an excellent two- story frame house and a good barn. Mr. Huff was absent. Mrs Huff, her three children and two nieces were in or about the house. Mrs. Huff said her son first observed the coming storm and its threatening character, and advised his mother and the children to get into the cellar, which all did at once except Mrs. Huff who proceeded quickly to fasten the doors and windows. This done, she ran partly up a stairway on the west side of the house where there was a window. She saw the tornado strike the stable which was two or three rods distant, and lift it whirling in the air. She then ran into the cellar and in an instant, the kitchen and whole upper part of the house was blown away. The family escaped without injury. The wreck at this place was complete." "Another paragraph is given and then another member of the Hough/Huff family comes into play. "John Huff's house and barn on the township line, were next attacked and blown to pieces. Mr. Huff escaped with a painful hurt. .....nothing was hardly left but kindling wood, and that scattered up and down the road and through adjacent fields." July 4, 1873

Christena and David Ross and their girls were also living in Saint Mary's township. David's profession was given as a Shoemaker.

1880

Elmira Whitfield Howell Hough becomes the first of the siblings to pass away and does not make the 1880 census. Her N. C. relatives must have lost track of the Illinois family, as the 1906 ad mentions her as if she were still alive. She died March 25, 1875 and was buried at Holland Cemetery in Hancock County, Illinois. Her husband, William out-lived her by a long time, however.

In 1877, William married Harriett Lewton Workman, daughter of Isaac Lewton from Washington, Carroll County, Ohio (Seems like almost every state, except N. C. has a Carroll County), widow of Samuel H. Workman, whose family had migrated to Illinois about the same time as the Howell group. William's youngest son Preston, was still in the home and one of the older sons, Joseph Moody Howell, had been recently widowed and moved back home with young Frederick.

The younger two daughters had married, while Sarah James Ross remained in the paternal home. It is speculated that the "J" in Christina's middle initial might have also stood for James, but that I have not found. Could it have been for her father, James Howell? Sister Elmira bore the middle name of Whitfield, as revealed in records of son John Armstrong Hough. He even gave the moniker to one of his children. Could this perhaps have been Judith's maiden name, or was grandson Hezekiah Kendall Hough the bearer of her heritage?

None of the elder Howells, James, Sarah or Judith, made it to 1880, presumably being buried in Hancock County, Illinois.

William N. Hough would pass away in 1908, and be buried in Calloway, Custer County, Nebraska.
This is the county his youngest son, Preston W. Hough would settle in.

Preston Hough would leave enough mark in the community to be mentioned in a book on the History of Custer County, Nebraska:

The History of Custer County, Nebraska: Preston W. Hough

In this book it says that Preston was born on June 13, 1865, near Williamsburg, North Carolina ?. (Williamsburg is in Rockingham County, North Carolina. Was this incorrect or was the family in transit northwest at this time?). "a son of William and Elmira W. (Howell) Hough, natives of that state and on the maternal side, he is a grandson of James and Juda (Moore) Howell. " This part was incorrect. Sarah was indeed a Moore, but Judith (or Juda) was the mother of James, and his Great-Grandmother, not his grandmother. The book also mentions that his family were farmers and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which the Howells that I believe they were connected to closely were also.

Preston was not the only member of his family to end up in a history book. His brother William Thomas Hough, one of the twins, did also, having remained in Illinois.
