I wonder if Vice Admiral William Nowell is lieutenant William Nowell’s father? Lieutenant Nowell was born in 1788 in Cornwall. He is my great great great great grandfather.

Could William Nowell possibly be an ancestor of a Samuel Nowell who was born in Portugal, died in New Hampshire, USA?
Any information available to help me track this link?

Thanks so much. Wm Nowell was my third great grandfather. I’m often in Oxford, and next time will visit his grave

Thanks, I've added some additional info.
Do you know his actual date of death and/or interment? and the church's name as well?

Vice Admiral William Nowell is buried in Iffley Village, Oxford. I have cleaned up, and tend his grave.
