Well, Virginia, I'm not sure we can be related, but my maiden name was Gowell, too.
I don't know much about my father's family since he was born when my grandfather was
50 years old, so I'm not too sure my father knew many of his relatives. They moved
from Massachusettes to California when my father was in his teens. My grandfather
evidently was born in Perth, Maine. The fourth of 5 sons. His father was in the
Civil War--died there--and evidently was paid by another man to take his place. I
knew only Alonzo (the youngest) and Frank (my grandfather). Another brother (Milton?)
had a daughter Helen. My father's brother Robert was 10 years older than he was.
Uncle Lon had two boys and a girl, Lynn, Eunice and Albert. Only Albert had children,
two girls, Marion Martha. Uncle Bob had no children, and there's just me in my
family. It's very hard to find Gowell information! So, unless you were decended from
one of the older brothers of my grandfather, you can see why I don't know how closely we
could be related.

Grandmother's maiden name Gowell/born Ukiah, CA. (northern California) Gowells orginate from Wales and there was a name change to Gowell from Gower. PS. There is a Gower Peninsula in Wales, and there was also a sir lord Gower, a contemporary of sir lord byron. I believe the entire lineage orginates in Wales, that along with then name name change is interesting. My descendents also came from Kittery Maine. Someone else on this board nannie4@bigtrout.com has done a large search on the Gowells. Contact me by email. I want to know where else to search, this can't be the only place????

Hi. My Gowells are from Auburn, Maine -- having relocated there from Kittery in 1799. For the most part, they are all still there (my generation excluded).

I'm very interested in the connection to Wales -- particularly in the name change. I had been aware of a possible change from "Gorell", but not "Gower".
