Ebenezer Howell was born at sea en route to Delaware from Wales in 1725. The Howells,
who were Quakers, made their home in Gloucester County and Cumberland County, New
Jersey. Ebenezer and his wife, Sarah Bond, had eleven children. Their twin sons
Richard and Lewis, who were born in 1754, participated in the “Tea Burning at
Greenwich” in Cumberland County, New Jersey, on December 22, 1774, and fought with
the New Jersey 2nd Regiment in the Revolutionary War; Richard was a major and Lewis
was the regiment’s surgeon. Lewis died after the Battle of Monmouth in June 1778.
Richard Howell served as an aide to George Washington during the war and performed
intelligence work at the request of Washington. Richard Howell served as the clerk
of the New Jersey Supreme Court from 1788-1793, and was governor of the state of New
Jersey from 1793-1801. He and his wife Keziah Burr had nine children: Charles B.
Howell (1780-c.1823); Mary Ann Howell (1782-1863); Sarah B. Howell Agnew
(1783-1868); Beulah B. Howell Gläser (b.1785); Maria Howell (1793-after 1876);
Richard Howell (1794-1847); Joseph B. Howell (1794-1874); William Burr Howell
(1796-1863); and Franklin D. Howell (1797-c.1814).
Joseph Burr Howell married Mary K. Shivers Roberts, whose family owned a fishery in
Gloucester, New Jersey. He lived in Mount Ephraim, New Jersey most of his life.
William Burr Howell moved to New Orleans; several of his sons fought in the Mexican
War and Civil War and his daughter Varina married Jefferson Davis of Mississippi,
who in 1861 became the President of the Confederate States of America. George F.
Howell, the son of Joseph Burr Howell, was the assistant to the agent of the Pawnee
Agency in Nebraska and Oklahoma in the 1870s. He married Phoebe Sutton, a teacher
living near the reservation; Phoebe moved to Brooklyn for health reasons while
George stayed in Oklahoma. George and Phoebe lived in Philadelphia shortly before
moving to Pasadena, California, in 1902 (the Howells were friends with A.C. Vroman).
Their daughter, Mary, married Levi Shoemaker Taylor, a professor of Chemistry at
Throop University (which later became the California Institute of Technology). The
Taylors, who had a lemon ranch in San Dimas, also lived in Pasadena. They had two
sons, William Henry and George Howell.
William Henry Taylor, who was an architect, married Jean Engle in 1940 (the Engles,
another prominent New Jersey family, owned Engleside, a resort in Beach Haven, New
Jersey). Because he was a Quaker and conscientious objector, William volunteered for
civilian work when the United States entered World War II. He was sent to the Gila
River Relocation Center, one of the internment camps for Japanese-Americans, in
1941, and to Europe in 1944 with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration. While in Europe, William was stationed and worked with refugees in
Egypt, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Austria, and France. Jean Engle Taylor was a graduate
of the Pasadena Playhouse program and acted and directed in the theater; she was
also an artist. William and Jean had three children: Jonathan, Richard, and Mary
Tamsen. William Henry Taylor died in Pasadena in 1995. Jean Engle Taylor was still
living in Pasadena in 1995.
