Richard, Lawyer, Soldier and Governor of New Jersey, was born, October 25th 1754 (with his twin brother Lewis), in Newark, Newcastel county, Delaware, and was one of eleven childrenwhose father was Ebenezer Howell, the latter being the son of the founder of the American branch of the family, who left Wales in 1729 an settled in Delaware. Richard and his brother Lewis were educated in Newcastle, and remained there until about 1774, when they removed to New Jersey, whither their father had preceded them some five years previously, settling in Cumberland county, a few miles tothe west of Bridgeton. Both brothers at that date were strongly imbued with patriotic ardor, and were of the party who, in 1774, disguised as Indians, broke a storehouse at Greenwich, removed the brig "Grehound's" cargo of tea, and burned it. For this the party were sued by the owners, buth the case never came to trail; for the Whig sheriff had taken car e to summon a Whig grand jury, who ignoredthe bill, although the royalist judge charged them to find a true one. Richard Howell had commenced the study of law, but was obliged to suspend his readings an enlist in the cause of independence. Early in 1775 he was appointed a subaltern officer in company of light infantry, and in December of that year was commissioned a Captain in the 2d Regiment of the line, commanded by Colonel Maxwell. The regiment was ordered to Canada, and participated in the attack on Quebec, where they were repulsed. However, Captain Howell was promoted to a Majorship, for the valor he displayed on that and several other occasions; and when the New Jersey regiments were reorganized Colonel Maxwell became a Bridadier-General, with Howell as Brigade-Major. They participated in the battle of Brandywine, and whre Lewis Howell, Richard's twin brother, served as surgeon; the latter was captured, but fortunately escaped. The day prior to the battle of Monmouth Surgeon Howell died from an attack of fever, without being able to bid farewell to his brother Richard, who was with his command awaiting the expected battle. He shortly after resighned from the army by special request of General Washington who immediately ordered him to trasact certain duties of a private nature, which he could not perform while holding a military commission from Congress. It is generaly supposed that the nature of this business was to discover the best means he could the proceedings of the British commanders. In 1770, having received his license as an attorney, he commnced the practice of law in Cumberland county, where he resided for several years. Early in 1788 he removed to Trenton, and shortly afterwards was elected Clerk of the Supreme Court. He served in this office until 1793, when, William Paterson being appointed a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Howell was chosed by the Legislature Governor of the State, to fill the vacancy then existing; and as he gave entire satisfaction in that high station he was annually, re-elected, almost unanimously, until 1801, when the Republican of Jefferson party gained the ascendency, and he was succeeded by Joseph Bloomfield. During his incumbency as Governor, in1794, the famous Whiskey Insurrection broke out in western Pennsylvania, and Governor Howell was named by President Washington as commander of the right wing of the army detailed to operate against the insurrectionists. After marching to the extreme wester boundary of Pennsylvania the insurgents were overawed, and did not hazard a battle, and the troops were dismissed by an order of General Washington, dated at Pittsburgh, November 17th, 1794, and shortly afterwards marched back to New Jersey. After his vacation of the gubernatorial chair he returned to the practice of the law, continuing to reside in or near Trenton. He was married in November, 1779, to a daughter of Joseph Burr, of Burlington county, by whom he had nine children, some of whom died in infancy. Richard, born 1794, was in 1812 a lieutenant of infantry, and was aide to Brigadier-General Pike when he was killed at the blowing up of Fort George in Canada. Another son, William, was a lieutenant in the marine corps; and Franklin was a lieutenant in the navy, and was killled on board the frigate "President." Governor Howell died at his residence, near Trenton, May 5th, 1803. THE CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT OF THE PROVINCE AND STATE OF NEW JERSEY, WITH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE GOVERNORS...

He was a remarkable man and a very earnest Christian. He was a slve owned by Moses Haines, of Springfield, who had agreed to set him free when he arrived at the age of thirty. After his manumission he would neither eat or wear anything produced by the servitude of his race. He courted Dido, a servant of Jane Abbott Burr, who lived in the fine old stone mansion on Burr's Road, now the residence of Mrs. Norman W. Harker. William Boen was at heart a Friend and he and Dido greatly desired to be married by the Friends ceremony However, he was not a member of Friends' Meeting and as the Society of Friends did not admit Negroes at that time, they could not be married under the care of the Mount Holly Meeting. William was a friend and great admirer of John Woolman and the latter arranged a Friends Meeting in the home, supposedly of Joseph Burr on Burr's Road, at which meeting they were duly married by the Friends' Ceremony. Thewedding took place on May 3, 1763. William Boen was admitted to membership in Mount Holly Meeting in 1814. After his death in 1824 in his 90th year the Mount Holly Meeting a testimony about him. He had been an earnest and upright member of the Society of Friends for ten years.
