General Notes: Husband - Col. Philip Howell


He migrated about 1767 to Elizabeth township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He was a Presbyterian, a colonel in the militia, had several adventures with Indians and took part in the Whiskey Insurrection.

He was born in Pennsylvania, and resided for a time in the eastern part of the state. Prior to the year 1800 he crossed the mountains, settling in what is now Elizabeth township, Allegheny County. There he bought two hundred and eighteen acres of wild land, adding later forty adjoining acres, which he cleared and brought under cultivation. In 1812 he built a brick residence on his farm. He was a noted Indian fighter, and derived his title of colonel in the militia service of the state. Both he and his wife died on the Elizabeth township farm, and are buried in Round Hill Cemetery.
