Daniel Howe, Sr.

Notes for DANIEL HOWE:

According to the Howe Genealogies, Daniel and his wife, Elizabeth, lived in Marlborough, where he became one of the leading citizens of the town. It is related of him, that on the 16 August 1707, while at work with Jonathan Wilder, in a meadow in the westerly part of town, they were surprised by a party of 13 Indians, who took them captive, and bound them with birch withes. Taking Wilder and leaving Howe with only one Indian to guard him, Daniel Howe managed to work his hands free and seize the Indian's gun, whereupon the Indian ran away. Howe immediately returned to his home and gave the alarm. The townsmen raised about twenty men and went in pursuit of the Indians. Following their trail, they caught up with them and a fight ensued. Several of the Indians were killed, as well as Wilder the captive, who was dispatched upon the start of the attack. The remaining Indians fled and the party then returned to Marlborough.

Daniel was one of the Board of Selectmen for several years. He was a large landholder in the town. When he died in 1718, his widow administered his estate, which was valued at 1,264 pounds sterling. She died in 1735.
