Howell witnessed the hoh_1850 of Henry Howell and US Census 1850 on 7 November 1850 at 3rd Police District, 3rd Police District, Pike County, Mississippi, United States; Henry Howell was enumerated as a head of household on the 1850 US Federal Census for Pike County, Mississippi on 7 Nov 1850 by Sampson L. Lamkin, Assistant Marshal. The Howell household was the 428th dwelling and 429th family enumerated. His age was given as 26, which would make his year of birth 1823 or 1824. His occupation was given as "Farmer" and his place of birth as "Georgia". He was not enumerated as owning any real estate as of 1850. According to the census, he could not read and write.

The Henry Howell household was the next household surveyed after the John Reid household, which included two family members named "Howell" and the wife of John Reid, whose maiden is known to have been "Howell". In all likelihood, the members of this household are related to those Howells. All of the Howells, except Matilda Reid, were born in Georgia. Matilda Reid, the youngest Howell of these four, was born in Mississippi. This would indicate that Rebecca Howell and her husband migrated to Mississippi sometime between 1823 and 1826 (granting they all are from the same family).² Cynthia A.
