Well, my guess is the English chemist, Edward Charles Howard (1774-1816) was the first to study them chemically, but however, it doesn't mention the names of the four stones he studied. Only that they came from across Europe and India. Later his name was used to describe a class of Chondrites, called Howardites. (Courtesy of Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites), pg. 72
