The known record of my Sowell line begins with my gg grandfather, Thomas Sowell (b. 25 Nov 1823, Virginia) and Mary C. Newton (b. 11 Jan 1818, N. Carolina). They had 5 children: Uriah Alexander (my g grandfather), James Thomas, Henry M, Nehemiah, and Mary H. I am interested in finding out anything about Thomas and Mary (parents, siblings, etc.). I would also like to hear from any other relatives - I know quite about about my direct line, which ended up in Tennessee, but not about other descendants of Thomas and Mary.
