Gideon Dee Howell
ID # 7818, (1830-1917)
| Father | Enoch Howell (1807-) |
| Mother | Drusilla Drake (1805-) |
| Birth | Gideon Dee Howell was born on 15 August 1830 at Jerseyville, Ancaster Twp., Gore District. |
| Marriage | He married Eleanor Kettle. A registration of marriage for Gideon and Eleanor has not been found. The best that may be said is that they appear in the 1851 ceneus in Onondaga Township of Brant County. With them is a daughter, Sarah E. Howell. She is shown to be age 1, but (and careful with this one) the 1851 census was not begun in Canada West until January of 1852. The age question was: What is your age as of your next birthday. Sarah's age, at least in theory, would be age 1 as of her next birthday (unless she'd been born very early in January), hence, she was probably born in 1851. |
| Death | He died on 5 May 1917 at Norwich Village, Oxford Co., at age 86. |
| Burial | He was buried at Union Cemetery, Yarmouth Twp., Elgin County. |

Gideon's age as shown above, 86 yrs., 8 mos., 20 dys., calculates to his date of birth being 15 August, 1830. This is sometimes approximate, but agrees with his date of birth as shown in the 1901 census. Gideon and Eleanor were in East Oxford Township of Oxford County as of the 1861 census. Along with Sarah, they have three more children. |
