The Following from the "Howe Genealogies" pg 279
..."It is not known that this Abraham How was related to any of his contemperaries of the name in this country, nor has anything been discovered indicating the name or origin of his father. It is not known when nor where he came from to this country' there is a tradition among some of his descendants, that he came from Devonshire, England. Of this we have no proof.
The first mention of this Abraham How in this country, seems to be found in town records of Watertown, Mass., where the marriage of Abraham How to Hannah Ward, daughter of William and Elizabeth Ward occured 26 March, 1657. He probably lived there until 1661, when he moved to Marlborough, where his name appeared among the Proprietors of Marlborough as early as 1660, and he participated in the first division of lands in that town, and there he passed the remainder of his life...

GEDCOM Note
Unfortunately nothing is known for sure about the early life of Abraham Howe. The first time he appears in a record in New England was for his marriage to Hannah Ward in 1657 in Watertown. A marriage date of 1657 implies that he was likely born before 1636 (so he was 21 when he married) but he could have been, and probably was, older. We don't know who his parents were. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY that he was the son of John Howe of Sudbury and Marlborough. There were many men living in New England at around this time in history with the last name of "Howe", and we don't know if or how they might have been related. "Howe" is a reasonably common name. John Howe of Sudbury and Marlborough dated his will May 24, 1680, and there is absolutely no mention of a child named Abraham. One of the witnesses to the will was Abraham How, and you could not witness a will if you were an interested party. Could John and Abraham have been related? Cousins? Nephew? Maybe. But there is no evidence to indicate. For another look at the evidence, and another author's conclusion that the parentage of Abraham is unknown, see this website: http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Abraham_Howe_(3)
