Howel, Prince of Caerleon-upon-Uske, Monmouthshire, whose arms they bore,
gules three towers, triple-towered, ar. WiUiain 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 Mar.sh Gibbon, county Bucks, November

born 1705, died 1775; married Mary Baker; their son, John, born 1727, died
1779; married Naomi Hart and were the parents of Mary Howell, who married
John Burroughs.

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.

December 12, 1821, died February 19, 1853, second daughter and third child of
Samuel Augustus Mitchell, the eminent geographer, by his wife, Rhoda Ann
Fuller; (second), July 20, 1854, Caroline Mitchell, elder sister of his first wife, born
in Bristol, Connecticut, September 4, 1817. died in Philadelphia, July 27, 1892.

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. LIpon 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.

came a distinguished writer on geographical subjects, and removing to Philadel-
phia about 182 1, 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. He died in Philadelphia, De-

The paternal ancestors of Rhoda Ann ( Puller) 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.

Edward Fuller, the other pioneer of the family, brother of Samuel, came over
with his wife. Ann, and son, Samuel. Edward and Ann Fuller did not, however,
survive the rigors of their first New England winter, both dying early in 1621 ;
their son, Samuel, then about ten years of age, was reared by his uncle and aunt,
Samuel and Bridget Fuller. Matthew Fuller, another son of Edward and Ann, re-
mained in England when his parents embarked in the "Mayflower," but came to

New England about 1640, and in 1652 removed to Barnstable, some thirty miles
from Plymouth, in the southeastern part of the colony. He was also a physician
and surgeon, and served in that capacity in the military forces of the colony. The
name of his wife is unknown, but he had the following children :

colonist, and one for each of his deceased parents. He removed to Scituate,
twenty miles north of Plymouth, and there married, April 6, 1635, Jane, daughter
