==Death== A devout [[Roman Catholic]], Howley journeyed to [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]] in December 1784 to receive sacraments of penance and holy communion that were not available in Georgia. While there, he wrote to Bishop Echevarrio of Cuba requesting that priests from Florida be sent to administer sacraments to Catholics in Georgia. Apparently ill when he returned from Florida, Howley died at his residence in Savannah.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=Charles C.|title=Biographical Sketches of the Delegates from Georgia to the Continental Congress|date=1891|publisher=Houghton, Mifflin|location=Boston|page=[https://archive.org/details/biographicalske00jonegoog/page/n141 123]|url=https://archive.org/details/biographicalske00jonegoog|quote=howley death.|accessdate=6 June 2016}}</ref>
