Note for: Benjamin Franklin Howell, ABT 1827 - ABT 1856 Index

Individual Note:
(From Eric Andersen)[Kelly History.FTW]

Benjamin Franklin Howell, son of Newton and Rachel (Zumwalt Long) Howell, married Margaret Kelly, daughter of Thomas H. and Nancy (Zumwalt) Kelly, December 9, 1847, in Warren County, Missouri.

Benjamin's ancestry is described in the book "History of St. Charles County, Missouri (1765 - 1885)," first published in 1885 and reprinted in 1969 (page 286):

"Francis Howell, the youngest of the three sons, married Miss Suan Stone, a daughter of Benjamin Stone, of South Carolina, and came to the vicinity of St. Louis in 1797. In 1800 he came to St. Charles county and settled on what was afterwards known as Howell's Prairie, in Callaway township. He built the second mill in the county, known as the 'Band Mill'. This was the first mill erected north of the Missouri river, except a small one at St. Charles. Years afterwards he replaced his old mill with a new one, which was called the 'Cog-Wheel Mill.' The difference in the names of the mills arose from the fact that the first was run by a band and the second by a cog-wheel. His place was a noted resort in those early times. Musters and drills were frequently held there, and Indian agents, in conducting Indians to and from St. Louis, often stopped there for supplies. He died in 1834 in the seventy-third year of his age, and his wife died eight years afterwards.

"They had 10 children: John, Thomas, Sarah, Newton, Francis, Jr., Benjamin, Susan L., Lewis, James S. and Nancy. John was married three times and died in his eighty-seventh year, leaving nine children. He was a Ranger in Capt. Callaway's company. Thomas married Susanna Callaway, a sister to Capt. Callaway, in whose company he also served as a Ranger. Fourteen children were the fruits of their union. Mr. H. died in his eighty-fifth year. Newton married the widow of Raphael Long. They had 10 children, and he died in his seventy-fourth year. Francis married Mrs. Polly Ramsey, a widow, a daughter of James and Martha Meek. He die din his eighty-second year. He served two years as a Ranger, partly in Capt. Callaway's company an partly with Capt. Nathan Boone. He was also a colonel of militia for about five years. Benjamin married Mahala Castlio and they had 12 children. He was captain of a company of Rangers for two years, an died in his sixty-third year. Susan married Larkin S. Callaway, a son of Flanders Callaway, and died at the age of thirty-three, having been the mother of seven children. James S. married Isabelle Morris, and died in his thirty-third year. Nancy was married twice, first to Capt. James Callaway an after he was killed by the Indians to John H. Castlio. Lewis received a classical education and became one of the successful and prominent educators of this part of the country. He married Miss Serena Lamme, of this county, a great-granddaughter of Daniel Boone, and three of their six children are living."

MURDER OF WILLIAM KENT BY WALLER GRAVES

"William Kent, who lived in what is now the western part of Warren county, was killed by Waller Graves, a citizen of this county. The killing was brought about in this wise: - A Doctor Madison boarded with a Mr. Nettles, who lived at the Beatty place, north west of loutre Lick. The Doctor was a Mysterious sort of person, who wore good clothes, seemed to have plenty of money, but had no practice, and often made
mysterious and sudden departures from the arrivals into the neighborhood. At last, on one occasion, when the Doctor had been absent some days, Mr. Nettles horse was missing. In looking about Doctor Madison’s dagger was found in the spring house. It was at once concluded that he had stolen the horse and left the country. The alarm was given, and a party was soon made up in pursuit. Waller Graves was one of the pursuers. At Newton Howell’s, now in Warren but then in Montgomery, William Kent was encountered. He expressed doubts that Dr. Madison was a horse thief, saying “he is too nice a man. Graves at once said “you are one of his friends”. A quarrel resulted, and Graves suddenly drew up his rifle and shot Kent dead. The act was done in extreme passion, and it has been asserted that Graves was undoubtedly insane. William Kent, was a son of Isaac Kent, who came to Missouri in 1819. He, William, had married Mary A. Zumwalt, a daughter of either Adam or John, the noted pioneers of St Charles county. Waller Graves was arrested without..." (rest of text missing)

KILLED BY WALLER GRAVES AT THE HOME OF NEWTON HOWELL AND RACHEL ZUMWALT

"Trial began 12 Jan 1828 in Callaway County Mo. on a change of venue from Montgomery County Mo. Waller Graves was sentenced to be confined to the common jail of Montgomery County Mo. until 3 Oct. 1831, plus he was fined $3,000 court costs which had to be paid before release." Book A, circuit court record, Callaway County, Missouri.

Should the date, 12 Jan. 1828 (above) read - 12 Jan.1831, The dates from the news articles are confusing. Death occured on or about 2 October, 1830. Trail began 12 Jan, 1828, and Waller Graves was to be incarcerated untill 3 October, 1831. You will have to judge for yourself which date is incorrect.

Newton Howell appears on the 1850 Federal Census in District 99, Warrent County, Missouri, as the head of the household. That census shows 61 year-old Newton was born in South Carolina.

He also appears on the 1860 Federal Census in Warrenton, Warren County, Missouri. That census shows Newton was 70 years old and born in South Carolina.
