Yowell Genealogy in Virginia
Evidence now seems to show that the Yowell line of Culpeper/Madison counties were not connected to the English Thomas and Richard Yowell family of Northumberland county, but that Christopher Yowell(Cristoph Uhl) was a German immigrant with other German families to the Germanna Virginia area. Two good books on this would be "Yowell and Related Families", published in 1994 by Ann Yowell Cook and "Before Germanna" published 1990 by Johni Cerny and Gary Zimmerman. I think the English version for Christopher Yowell's origins was put forth by Clark Yowell, but no actual records connecting Christopher Yowell to Thomas or Richard Yowell have been found. Whereas, Cerny and Zimmerman found records for Christopher in Sulzfeld, Baden, Germany with other Germanna colonist families. And when Christopher was naturalized in 1745 in Orange county Virginia he stated he was originally from Wurttemberg.

Re: Yowell Genealogy in Virginia
Warren, you seem to have the Yowell line down pretty good. Taking it a bit further, do you have anything on a Lester Lewis Yowell? Born 27 June 1890, died 12 April 1960, Ovid, Colorado. Married Kathryn Agnes Brenneman 1913 Thanks.

Robin, in your Yowell research, have you come across a Lester Lewis Yowell? DOB 27 June 1890, DOD 12 April 1960. Possible birthplace Missouri, place of death Ovid, Colorado. Married Kathryn Agnes Brenneman 1913. Thanks, Gary

Re: Yowell Genealogy in Virginia
Gary, I am sorry, my resources do not show this Lester Yowell.

Elizabeth did marry Elias Campbell: Her father, Christopher Jr, son of Christopher and Margaret Culpepper Co deed states "For divers good causes, me thereunto moving, but especially for the natural affection I have for my son in law Elias Campbell and his wife Elizabette, give them and heirs 511 acres of land purchased of John Frogg in1754"
Hope that gives you a little bit. J Mishoe
