Mathew HOWELL, born 1798 (?) in Upper Canada, and died in state of Iowa, US, at age 78. He was a Minister of the Methodist faith and moved to Meigs Co, OH about 1820 or perhaps before. In Ontario he lived in Murry and had land there. I believe he had a wife and family there, but have not been able to find them as yet. He is the father of Crowell, born in Meigs Co, OH in 1834.

BRENT, WHITE

Seeking information on the family and ancestors of Elizabeth Ann BRENT, Born Isle of Wight, England, in early l840s, who married Hiram WHITE (1864) Percy Township in a Wesleyan Methodist ceremony. They were next in Iowa in l871. Marriage record for Hiram lists Bayham as his residence (probably Elgin County), and Nathan WHITE as his father. Land records in Elgin County reveal that a Nathan WHITE purchased land in l840, so there is good chance they were father and son. I have also discovered a Nathan WHITE is listed as member of the Northumberland Militia 1828-29. Hiram died in Iowa in 1899 at age 60. but the death certificate and other documents reveal nothing.

I would like to find out more about Elizabeths life in Canada and fill in a lot of blanks about origins(particularly Nathans) , possible relatives, other surnames, places of residence, etc. If you know anything of this family, please contact: John WHITE at johnw@rasmussen.edu
