_Howe Family_ (Vol. iii., p. 353.).--Your correspondent who asks what
was the connexion of the Howes with the royal family, will find in
Walpole's _Reminiscences_ (ch. ii.) that Charlotte Viscountess Howe, the
mother of Captain Howe, afterwards the celebrated admiral, and of
General Sir William Howe, was the daughter of George I. by Madame
Kelmansegge, Countess of Platen, created in England Countess of
Darlington.
