Alisa,

I am interested in this family - it appears to be a collateral line for me. Do you have proof of their marriage in Culpepper Co, VA?

I just saw your 2001 post. I had a cousin called "Mark" Towell; Marvin Lee Towell 18 September 1893- 14 June 1995. I have solid Towell ancestry through my mother to John F. Towell(1784-1860) of Rowan County, North Carolina. Would you like to swap GEDCOMs? I am willing to swap with anyone who has a surname in one of my lines.

Re: John J. Towell

On the 1810 Augusta County census there is a John Towels, Jr with the following members include in his household. One male under 10, One male age 16-25, One male over 45, one female age 16-25 and one female over age 45.

Is it possible that this household is your John J. Towell with his wife and son & his parents, John & Nancy Blair Towell? The ages look right.

There is another Towell on the 1820 census in Augusta County, but I haven't looked to see who it is yet.

Re: John J. Towell

dacoe — 2008-08-15 16:53:37Z

Have you contacted the Augusta County Courthouse to see if there were any wills/probate records for either John Towell or Nancy Blair Towell indicating possible children? What about land records in Augusta County? In any of your research on the Towell surname have you come across any possible location for John & Nancy Blair Towell's death, burial, birth or marriage including approximate dates.

I am just starting on my Towell surname and have yet to inquire at the Augusta County Courthouse concerning records for this couple and would appreciate any possible ideas or leads.

Re: John J. Towell

lwhayer — 2008-08-14 15:35:24Z

Have you come across anymore information pertaining to John Towell & Nancy Blair from Augusta County, VA? I am descended from Margaret Towell Stover of Augusta County, VA. She was born in 1779 in Augusta County, VA. On her death record, it lists she is the daughter of John & Nancy Towell. On her maarriage bond to Jacob Stover in Sept-1800, it also states she was the daughter of John Towell. I have no other information on her parents than what was listed on her death record & her marriage bond. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Nancy Towell

NancyPulley — 2008-02-22 01:25:20Z

My great great grandmother was Nancy(Towell) Brouse, who was born in 1810. She married Elkanon Brouse in 1830. One place says she was born in Xenia, Ohio, but another says Lancaster County, Virginia. She may have been the daughter of Mark Towell from Virginia. I would like to trace her line back farther. Does anyone know any more about her? Thanks! Nancy

John J. Towell

LARRYHAYER58 — 2007-04-18 18:27:18Z

I am descended from John J. Towell abt 1784 - abt 1855. He appeared in the 1820 US Census in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1820 with a wife and two children. The wife evidently died because he married Mary "Polly" Bowers in 1823. The 1850 Census shows he was born in Virginia. He may be the son of John Towell and Nancy Blair of Augusta County, Virginia. This is my brick wall - can anyone help? I have a detailed descendancy from John J.

Re: surname Towell in Indiana

2005-10-30 09:43:57Z

My Towell ancestors were also friends or Quakers. My second great grandfather was Issac Towell, born in North Carolina came to Indiana thru Tennesee. He Married Sarah Marshall and when she died leaving 3 children, He married her sister, Amy Marshall. I have some so work on the TOWELL family, I would share with you. My big question is who are Sarah and Amy's
parents. I have William and Elizabeth Marshall(Marshell) Do you know how many William Marshall married and Elizabeth> at Least four. The Quaker records have the sisters with different sets of parents.THe Society of Friends as they like to be called used the same names over and over. On my Hadley branch, I Have a family that a Hadley married a Hadley and 4 of their ten children married Hadleys. I think I have that branch straight. Would love to hear from you. Ramona

Re: Descendants of Nancy L. Adkins and Samuel Towell

Still, yes after I read your e-mail I looked at my files. Your Samuel is a son of Isaac Towell and Sarah McAdams. I have a great deal of information on your family. Samuel was b. Aug. 13, 1798 or Nov. 3 in some records in Sumner Co., Tn. He moved circa 1833 from Dickson Co to Johnson Co., AR. He married Letitia Adkins on 1 May 1834 at Dickson Co., TN. They are on the 1850 and 1860 Perry Twp, Johnson, Arkansas census records. I have their children and some other info. Write to me at pjordan315866501@aol.com I would love to share information with you.

I am searching for information on the children of Isaac Towell and his ancestors and descendants. He was married twice; first to Mary Whitworth -they purportedly had ten children; second to Artimissa Glass - they had five. I have good supporting evidence for five of the supposed ten children of Isaac and Mary and for four of those of Artimissa Glass. I have at least 8 generations of information to share with any descendants of Margaret Harrison Towell, dau. of Isaac and Mary. I have family pictures and letters from 1870.

surname Towell in Indiana

2005-07-17 20:49:23Z

All the Towells in my family tree came to Indiana from North Carolina.

Most importantly for researchers they were members of the Religious Society of Friends, aka Quaker. My great-grandmother was very proud she was a birth right Quaker

The Friends kept extensive records. I've not seen the Friends mentioned in any post and am suggest mining the society's records would be very helpful to many.

Origin of name Towell

2005-07-17 20:43:37Z

Found a contemporary Irish internet site that stated Towell is a variation of O'Toole. Today the surname is most common in County Waterford.

Re: I thought I was the only one !

Hi David, My ggrandfather James also came from County Down. Would he happen to be in your line? any info would be great. Thanks Joan

Re: Sarah Towell d. 1685 SC

2005-01-20 23:24:10Z

My records imply that Sarah Dewe married Richard Fowell in Barbados. When Fowel died in 1678, she married Edward Middleton, and they moved to Charles Town, SC.

Sarah Dewe was probably the daugher of Capt. Thomas Dewe & wife Mary (McKenzie?) Thomas Dewe is thought to have died sometime before 1690 in Barbados.

Re: POYNOR,MISSOURI TOWELLS

2004-12-06 23:30:44Z

Hi Edward--

You may not even be checking this site anymore, but if so: it seems we have a common great-grandmother in Sarah Emily (Hobbs) Towell. I am her g/granddaughter through her daughter, Opal. For the last several years of her life she stayed with Opal, until her death (3/30/1979, and she was in fact 99); I was 7 when she died and I have some pictures taken with her and memories of her while I was growing up (like she drank Mountain Dew all day long and warm milk before she went to bed, stuff like that). As far as I was told, she was a full-blooded Creek Indian, but I don't think she was registered as such.

Anyway, if you ever get this post and would like to swap info, I'd be happy to.

Andrea

Re: Towell

2004-12-06 23:16:55Z

Hi Glenda--

I just recently started doing in-depth internet research on my father's side of the family, and I arrived here b/c your post this past February has the info I was looking for regarding my g/gmother, Sarah Emily (Hobbs) Towell. I couldn't find her maiden name and couldn't recall her husband's name. I am the granddaughter of her daughter, Opal (d. 1998) and Opal's husband, Warren Campbell (d. 1982). I couldn't gather what your connection is, or if you were only responding to someone else's query, but I remember this lady very well and have several pictures of her from when I was a kid. I believe she was full-blooded Creek Indian. She was living with Opal in Eureka, MO, for several years before she died, and I visited them quite often. She died right after I turned 7. I can't really offer any further backwards research but I can give you some lateral and forward information from Sarah E. Towell on.

And all of this info on John Isaac Towell is good to have as well. I couldn't pin down which John Towell he was. I only found him through looking at Ripley, County Missouri Records of marriages. He is listed on 2/9/1898 to "Emma Hobbs" which is I guess what Sarah went by. Very interesting. Anyway, if you'd like to share info, let me know. Andrea

TOWELLS not Towell

walron1 — 2006-04-16 11:07:59Z

Hi Guys,
I realise that this forum is TOWELL but I just thought I would throw my lot in just in case there is someone out there looking for THIS surname or that of TOWILLS.

My research here commences with a Frederick TOWILLS at Ilminster in Somerset, England about 1717.

One branch of this family is known to have gone to Bristol in about 1850 and another to Taunton about the same time.

My great grandfather came to Australia in 1853.

I hope I have not upset anyone listing my name variation.

Hi

I am also descended from Towell's from Middlesex. I have traced back to Joseph Towell, born prior to 1826, married to Harriet Sarah Luce, in Hoxton, in 1847. Joseph's father was John Towell. Have you come across these people?

Re: I thought I was the only one !

davidtowell44 — 2004-04-02 00:39:14Z

I believe the Towell name originates in England. But my ancestors were Anglo-Irish. I think they came from County Down and migrating to North Carolina, and Indiana. Other lines lead to Tennesse, Illinois, Missouri, and Idaho.
