The Howells of Westbury, Marsh Gibbon, county Bucks, descended from Howel, Prince of Caerleon-upon-Uske, Monmouthshire, whose arms they bore, gules three towers, triple-towered, ar. William Howell, of Wedon, Marsh Gib- bon, Buckinghamshire, England, made his will November 30, 1557, and named as devisees his wife, Anne (Hampton), and ten children; the poor of Wingrave, Hardwick, Wedon, Aylesbury, Whitechurch and Marsh Gibbon. He gave a legacy to the Parish Church of Wingrave and to the ornaments and bells of the same church. He also directed that his body should be buried in the chancel before the high altar. A bill of complaint by John Howell, of Wedon, 1573, sets forth "that his father, also of Wedon, deceased, purchased the manor of West- bury in Marsh Gibbon, in the same County," and that the same is now in the custody of his brother.

Henry Howell, Gent. was buried ye 7th day of July, 1625, and at his death his son, Edward Howell, became possessed of the manor of Westbury, which on June 8, 1639, he then "of Grewelltorpe, in the County of York" conveyed to Rich- ard Francis, of Marsh Gibbon, for the consideration of sixteen hundred pounds.

About this time (1639) Edward Howell emigrated with his family to America, going first to Boston and then to Lyme, Connecticut, where he held five hundred acres by grant. He was representative at Hartford, Connecticut, 1647-48-50-53-

A new settlement in Long Island was projected in 1640 of which he was one of the founders, the compact of terms as well as the laws adopted by the first set- tlers were in his handwriting. He had three thousand acres of land in the centre of South Hampton which he named after his grandmother, Anne Hampton.

He was a member of the Governor's Council of Connecticut from 1647 until 1653. His gravestone still stands with the family coat-of-arms, a shield with three towers, a crest, a ducal crown. Motto Tenax proposite (Tenacity of pur- pose).

His son, Major John Howell, prominent in the civil as well as in the military affairs of Long Island, was baptized at Marsh Gibbon, county Bucks, November

In June, 1901, Mary Elena (Burroughs) Perot, daughter of H. Nelson Bur- roughs, visited the Wingrave Parish Church, seven and one-half miles from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, and verified the statements concerning William and Edward Howell. It is an old church dating back before eleven hun- dred. There are some fine Norman arches still perfect. The church has been restored. The Howell vault is in the chancel just in front of the altar. From the tower Marsh Gibbon can be seen.

HORATIO NELSON BURROUGHS, son of John and Mary ( Howell) Burroughs, was born near Washington Crossing, on the New Jersey shore of the Delaware, June 28, 1812. He came to Philadelphia while quite young. After his retirement from mercantile business Mr. Burroughs became interested in the development of the coal lands of Pennsylvania. For many years he was president of the Common- wealth National Bank ; also director of the Girard Life & Trust Company, Butler Coal Company, Kittaning Coal Company, Seventh National Bank, and a member of other institutions. He died in Philadelphia, August 23, 1895.

WILLIAM MITCHELL, ancestor of Samuel Augustus Mitchell, was born in Lon- don, England, August 3, 1748. While a youth he came to New York, from which place he went to Danbury, Connecticut, removing later to Thompson, which was then a large town, embracing within its limits the present town of Putnam, where he resided until after his marriage and the birth of his first child in 1772. Whether he learned his trade as a manufacturer of cloth in Danbury or Thompson is un- known. About this time he visited England, doubtless in part to see his family connections, but chiefly to perfect his knowledge of the art of coloring or dyeing cloths. Upon his return from England he was accompanied by a brother, Thomas. The troubles between the colonies and the mother country growing more and more threatening, Thomas returned, but William, true to his adopted country, remained and entered the military service in the defense of its liberty. In 1773 he removed with his family to Bristol. Connecticut, where he engaged in the manufacture of cloth, an article of prime necessity at this time in the history of the country. He took an active part in the general business of the parish of New Cambridge, as Bristol was then called, and also in the town after its incorporation in 1785, and was respected by the community until his death, March 12. 1806, being not quite fifty-eight years old.

He be- came a distinguished writer on geographical subjects, and removing to Philadel- phia about 1821, prepared and published text books and maps for the use of schools that were in general use for many years in all the leading schools and were considered superior to all others at that date. In 1846, he published his "General View of the World"; in 1851 his universal atlas in seventy-six sheets, forming a series of one hundred and thirty maps, plans and sections; in 1852 he issued an edition of pocket maps, fifty-five in number, publishing in all twenty-four works, which reached in one year a sale of 40,000 copies.

The paternal ancestors of Rhoda Ann (Fuller ) Mitchell, mother of both wives of Horatio Nelson Burroughs, came from England to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the "Mayflower," and endured the rigors of the winter of 1620 with the Pilgrim fathers on the bleak shore of New England. Among the passengers who survived the voyage were two brothers, Edward and Samuel Fuller, from the former of whom Mrs. Rhoda Ann Mitchell was descended.

Samuel Fuller was accompanied by a servant who died on the passage, but his wife, Bridget Fuller, remained in England and came over in the ship, "Ann," in 1623. He was a physician of high standing, finely educated, a devoted Christian, and was one of the first deacons of Plymouth Church and greatly loved and re- spected by the other colonists. He died in Plymouth in 1633, and his widow, Bridget, and son, Samuel, in 1664. conveyed to the trustees of the "First Church of Plymouth," a lot for a parsonage. The son Samuel married Ann, daughter of his cousin, Mathew Fuller, son of Edward, of whom hereafter.
