Dates, or even approximate dates, are so important to queries. And county instead of town is good too. Here is handy dandy site to locate county for TX cities/towns -- http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~usgenweb/tx/cities.htm

I went looking through your message history to find any clues that might help with research. On one you list many of the children of William, that helped.

1880 census Williamson Co, TX:

Category: Name; Relationship to head of household; Marital Status; Gender; Race; Age; Birthplace; Occupation; Father's Birthplace; Mother's Birthplace.

W. M. HOWELL Self M Male W 40 TN Farmer --- ---
Elisabeth HOWELL Wife M Female W 38 AR Keeping House KY KY
James MUKINS Son Male W 19 TX AR AR
Anna HOWELL Dau Female W 14 TX TN AR
Spencer F. HOWELL Son S Male W 12 TX TN AR
John C. HOWELL Son S Male W 10 TX TN AR
Tom T. HOWELL Son S Male W 10 TX TN AR
Jackson HOWELL Son S Male W 8 TX TN AR
Henry M. HOWELL Son S Male W 2 TX TN AR

1870 census Williamson Co, TX:

Howell, William, 29, b TN - land 1,000/personal 500
" Elizabeth 26, b AR
" James, 9, b TX
" Anna, 3, b TX
" Spencer, 2, b TX
" unnamed male 6/12, b TX

You know William came from Perry Co, TN, so you probably know about the family there.

TX Dth Idx 1890-1976 -- http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?..#w=;p=2;c=1320964;t=searchable -- You can view digitized copy of original death records, see more details, make printouts and look for others, too.

Here are some of the children of William and Elizabeth. This gives you maiden name for Elizabeth, too.
