  With reference to the daughter “I give unto my daughter GOBEURER's [?] children Elizabeth, etc”, there is a marriage of an Agnes Howell and Edward HOBEAME on 6 Nov 1612 at Jevington., so GOBEURER [?] is probably a poorly written HOBEAME.
  John Howell was buried 27 Nov 1626 at Jevington. On the SFHG Burial Index against this entry there is written some other information “(Burrell/Dunkin)” - see explanation below. The same is written against the burial of his daughter Dorothy on 17 Jun 1636 at Jevington.
  There is a burial of a "widow Howell" on 2 Oct 1743 at Jevington which may be John Howell's wife.
  The book "History of Jevington" by PMH Smart (1962) states that the parish registers date from 1660 but the Bishop's Transcripts date from 1606. The oldest register which dated from 1536 was known to exist in 1799 but is now lost.
  The book also has extracts from the Hundred Courts held at Willingdon in 1285 and one entry concerning the Rector of Jevington refers to some land as "sometime Howell's" indicating that the name is a very old Jevington surname.
  Burrell/Dunkin: Sir William Burrell (1732-1796) an antiquarian who transcribed some entries from the first, now lost, Jevington register. Dunkin was also a genealogist and antiquarian- Edwin Hadlow Wise Dunkin (1849-1915) and his Collection is in the British Library and SAS. He must also have done work on Burrell’s notes.³
