Tidwell revisited

[Steve]

Joe, I also want to welcome you to the Forum as well.

I had never heard of the theory that "Augustus Howell" was an alias before. I never looked into background beyond the trial record before. Unfortunately, right now I've had to stop paying for my research related website subscriptions due to a money crunch caused by the pandemic, so my research wings have been clipped for right now. Joe, if you can stay watching the Forum into next year, I could look into what I can find about Howell sometime early next year.

Joe, a really quick way to test to see if Emack and Howell are the same person is to see if "Augustus Howell" turns up in any pre-Civil War records. If Howell is an alias, he shouldn't. Also if anybody on the Forum can get ahold of Dave Taylor, because of his research into the lives of people connect ed to the trial, he might have more information on Howell.
