I believe that this Howell Dutton is really Howell Parrish whom was Z. Dutton's step-son. From all of the gleanings of records tha I can find in Granville there is no Howell Dutton. Judith Parrish (wife of Claiborne Parrish-deceased-) when she married Z. dutton had three sons: Humphry, Woody. and Joseph. As a partial connection to the Sneed family I have some information that a william Sneed listed in a deed as buying land from Zachariah Dutton, His wife Judith Parrish, and a Howel Briggs. LJust who this Howel Briggs is I don't know but I believe that somewhere along the line that Dutton was confused with Briggs. I'll look further into this and will bring it back to the family at a later date. I'm wondering if Judith may have been related to this Howel Briggs. The South will rise again Copusin James
