page 104 Howell Hill, Lincoln County. David Howell and Reese Howell arrived in this vicinity in the early part of the 1800s, coming from the Bowling Green, Kentucky, area. They had received government land grants to property here, but Reese eventually moved on, to Howell's Cove, in Alabama, while David remained here, residing at the bottom of the hill. Many Howells eventually populated this area. Marion Howell was a grandson of David, while Charles Reese Howell Sr. was a great-grandson. A son of David had the given name Charlie (probably Charles). On the rolls of the county's 1850 census were Moses, Charles S., James, Elizabeth, Jefferson and William Howell. C. R. Howell Jr. still resided in the hamlet in the late 1980s. |
