The Howell Family Crest
The emigrant, Edward Howell, one of the founders of Southampton, Long Island, in 1640, is recognized by Sir Bernard Burke to have been the owner of the Manor of Westbury-in-March, Gibbon, county Buckingham, England, which manor he sold in 1639, when he emigrated to America. His eldest son, Major John Howell, died in 1696, and his tombstone, bearing the arms we give, is still extant in the cemetery of Southampton, Long Island. The devices were found on the seal of the emigrant, still preserved by his descendants.
