Richard Howell, son of Margaret Howell, was born in England. His mother when widowed supposedly married Peter Hallock after his return from the landing at Southold with Rev. John Youngs in 1640. Peter returned to Long Island with Margaret and her young son Richard and settled at Aquebogue after the 1661 division of lots. However the accuracy of the preceding statements have been questioned in view of the information contained in the next paragragh.

Peter Hallock and his first wife had a son William born about 1610 in England. William Hallock married Margaret Howell about 1640 and in 1667 had a home lot in the Southold settlement.

Richard Howell married Elizabeth Hallock shortly before 1675 as that year William Hallock conveyed land in the Town of Southold to his "son-in-law" Richard Howell. Richard and Elizabeth had nine children including John Howell who was born May 24,1670. Richard died Nov. 9, 1709 and his wife Elizabeth died Jan. 29, 1734.

In 1690 John Howell married Margaret and they had a son John born the following year. Margaret died Feb.2,1708 and John married Hannah Parshall, John and Hannah had a son John born 1718. John died Jan. 20, 1734 reputedly by drowning at Riverhead and Hannah died Mar. 15,1768.

Isaac Howell inherited the part of his father's estate south of Granny Road to Middle Island Line. He had a daughter Hannah who married John Swezey,
