Please note his parents and origins are unknown. he is not the son of James Howe and Elizabeth Dane that is a completely different person. Robert Charles Anderson simply says his origins are unknown (GMDIR p 171; Unknown; 1639; Sudbury, Marlborough, [MBCR 1:377; SuTR 4; Kempton Anc 3:256-69]). Kempton Anc 3:256-69 posits that he "perhaps the child baptized at Woodbury, Devon, England, 22 June 1617 (son of John, grandson of Anthony." Nothing is certain.

Notes for JOHN HOWE: Last name also spelled "Howe"

An "original grantor" of Sudbury, MA By Appointment of the Massachusetts Governor, John and Edmund Rice, he laid out the grounds at Framingham in 1662. John HOWE was born about 1602 in England. Based on age of death, stated as 78.His son, John was killed by the Indians in 1676, the first Mary died young, First Daniel died young, Alexander died soon, Daniel died perhaps at birth and may have been twin to Alexander. He was in Sudbury by 1639--and one of the original grantors-- when he received grant of a house lot, then shared in the three divisions of Sudbury Meadows, 1639-40. Was a petitioner for a grant of Marlboro, 1656, where he removed 1657. His house was about 1/3 mile NE of Spring-hill Meeting House. Opened a tavern in 1661. By appoint- ment of the Mass gov/t, he and Edmund Rice laid out the Framingham lands in 1662. Marlboro suffered greatly through all the years of Indian warfare. John How's eldest son was killed by them in 1671. His grand-daughter, Elizabeth was at her sister's home assisting her in caring for her infant neice when they were suprised by the indians in the home. The Indians seized them both, and later killed the baby. Elizabeth was held captive for many years in Canada, being ultimately redeemed. She was 17 when taken captive. She returned home to marry her long awaiting lover, Thomas Keyes. Her sister, Mrs. Joslyn, and a child two years old were murdered a few miles from her home. Elizabeth never recovered from the horror and brutality of her sister's death which she was obliged to witness. Her own life was spared because of the superstitious regard the Indians had for her beautiful voice, and during her captivity, she was frequently compelled to 'make sweet sound.' She retained for some time the customs of the Indians--their posture in sitting and their love for the out of doors." He was married to Mary UNKNOWN before 1640 in Sudbury, Middlesex, MA. Children were: John HOWE, Lt. Samuel HOWE, Sarah HOWE, Mary HOWE, Isaac HOWE, Josiah HOWE, Mary HOWE, Thomas HOWE, Daniel HOWE, Alexander HOWE, Eleazer HOWE.

An article in the "Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine" (V-11, pg. 181) states that "the HOWE people were all very large and of heavy frame and body". Also, the HOWE's can trace their ancestry back to the reign of Henry VII (1456-1509) and held estates in Somerset, Gloucester, Wiltshire, Nottingham, in England and in Fermanaugh in Ireland.

He was a freeman and became a proprietor of Sudbury 17 May 1640 and a town officer in 1657. He petitioned 30 July 1662 to be excused from training because he was aged, thick of hearing, and maintained 3 soldiers in his family. He was an innkeeper of the Black Horse Inn. His will was proved 15 June 1680 Sudbury, Worcester Co., MA.

WILL: 24 MAY 1680 Sudbury, Worcester Co., MA

John Howe was in Sudbury as early as 1639 and was admitted freeman 1640. He was selectman 1642, and is mentioned in the records of that town as late as 1655. Soon after he moved to Marlboro, Mass. where he died in 1687. He and Mary, had the following children; James (1640-1701), Samuel (1642-1713), Sarah (1644-1707), Issac (1648-1724), Josiah (abt 1650-1710), Mary (1654-1684), Thomas (1656-1733), and Daniel (1658-1661).

Part of the land assigned to John Howe in Sudbury was used as the site of a tavern. "At least four generations of Howes kept the place as a tavern. In 1746 Ezekiel Howe called it "The Red Horse". As Sudbury was just about halfway between Boston and Worcester, this inn became a regular and popular stopping place for travelers between these two towns. it was owned and operated by Howes until the death of Lyman Howe in 1866. It was in the early sixties that Longfellow and his companions visited this "Wayside Inn'."

In 1656, John Howe and other Sudbury inhabitants petitioned the General Court for a grant of land. They received the grant for land about 8 miles west of Sudbury. The new settlement was called Marlborough.

On November 26, John Howe , Abraham Howe and Samuel Howe had lots assigned to them. From the begining there was friction with an adjoining Christian Indian tribe, the Wamesit. John Howe's grant was just east of the Indian lands. They had been granted 6,000 acres of the best land in the Marlborough area as early as 1643. Much to their dismay, the English settlers found that they couldn't have the Indians moved as the Masschusetts Council refused to go back on their word. The Indian village, Whipsuppenick, was there to stay. The Indians were self-supporting, peaceable and adapting to the English way of life.

The following relates an incident that occurred there;

"Mr. How went to Marlborough, built a cabin a little to the east of the Indian planting field, where his descendants lived for many generations. By his prudence and kindness, he gained the good will and confidence of his savage neighbors, who accordingly made him their umpire in all their differences. The following incident is related as one of the verdicts of this second Solomon. Two Indians, whose cornfields were contiguous, disputed about the possession of a pumpkin, which grew on a vine that had transgressed the limits of the field in which it was planted. the vine was planted in one field, the pumpkin grew in the other. the dispute grew warm.- Mr. How, after a patient hearing of both parties, divided the pumpkin into two equal parts, giving half to each. Both parties extolled the equity of the judge and acquiesced in the decision."

On September 30, 1662, John Howe wrote the following letter to the General Court of Mass. In it he attempts to be releived of the obligation to train with the militia.

Honrd Sr-

My humble suit unto this Honrd Court is that they would be pleased to grant me a freedom from Training, and that my liciense for Ordinary keeping may be renewed unto me. My grounds wch I request the said freedom are 1. The consideration of a bodily infirmity I have had many yeers upon me whch, as I grow in age, encreaseth its tediousness, in so much that it is frequently interuptive to me in my calling. 2. I am also thick of hearing. 3. I do and am like to maintain three train-souldiers in my family. Sr, I trust ye will endeavor that I may obtain my desire in ye respects mentioned, though I give you but a hint of things which, if you do, you will hereby more abundantly oblige me to subscribe myself, as already I do.

Yor humble servant, John How

Unfortunately, either hatred or greed for the land, kept relations between Marlborough and Whipsuppenick poor. Relations reached a head during the King Philip's War. English (militia) soldiers arrested 15 of the Indians and had then chained and sent to Boston. They also seized the Indians supply of weapons and plundered the town. This persecution led to the breakup of the village and the Indians fleeing.

During the King Philips War, the Indians attacked Marlborough on several occasions. The first attack occurred on March 26,1676. While they were repulsed and no damage done to the Garrison Houses, the meeting house, 13 homes, and 11 barns were destroyed. The town militia rallied the next night and attacked a nearby Indian camp. The Indians returned in April and left little standing except for the four garrison houses. Homes, crops, and livestock were gone. One of the dead was John Howe, the brother of Mary. He was killed in the fighting at nearby Sudbury.

During the battle, John Howe Sr., Thomas Howe, and John Wetherbee <wetherbe.htm> helped defend the Kerly Garrison House.

In 1692 an Indian raid took place in which the Howe family prominently figured.

On July 17, 1692 Indians attacked and killed the Joslin home. Elizabeth Howe, the daughter of John Howe, was staying there with her sister, Sara Joslin. The widow of Jonathan Whitcomb <whitcomb.htm> was living with the Joslin family at the time. It is unknown as to what the relation was between Peter Joslin and Hannah, but 6 years later Hannah's niece, Johanna, became Peter's second wife. "On the 18th July, 1692, the Indians assaulted the house of Peter Joslin, who was at his labor in the field, and knew nothing thereof until entering the house. He found his wife with three children, with a widow Whitcomb, who lived in his family, barbarously murdered with their hatchets, and weltering in their blood." Sarah had tried to fight them off with a hatchet but she was tomahawked by another Indian. Elizabeth Howe <howe.htm> was carried off along with one of the Joslin children. Elizabeth was ransomed by the colony after three years of captivity, but the child had died or was murdered in the meantime.

Upon returning to Boston, Governor Philips sent for her. He asked her why she had not been redeemed earlier stating that he had sent a number of missions to buy back captives. She replied "that if she had been a Beaver skin she would have been redeemed much earlier" implying that the govenor was more interested in his business ventures then in redeeming captives.

Mary Howe married John Wetherbee <wetherbe.htm> on September 18, 1672, in Marlborough, Mass.

She returned, but the child was murdered in the wilderness."

John HOWE, of Sud., was one of the petitioners in 1657, for the grant which constituted Marl. He was the son of John Howe, supposed to be the John Howe, Esq., who came from Warwickshire in Eng., and who was a descendant of John Howe, himself the son of John of Hodinhull, and connected with the family of Sir Charles Howe of Lancaster, in the reign of Charles I.

John Howe resided first perhaps at Watertown, and afterwards at Sudury, where he was in 1639. He was admitted freeman in 1640. He died at Marlborough 1687, and his wife Mary died about the same time. In 1642 he was selectman in Sudbury, and in 1655 was appointed by the pastor and selectmen "to see to the restraining of youth on the Lord's day." According to tradition, he was the first white inhabitant who settled on the new grant. He came to Marl. about 1657, and built himself a cabin a little to the east of the Indian Planting Field, where his descendants lived for many generations. His place was situated some 100 rods from Spring Hill Meeting House, a little to the east of the present road from Spring Hill to Feltonville recently occupied by the late Edward Rice. His proximity to the Indian Plantation brought him in direct contact with the natives; but by his kindness, he gained the confidence and good will of his savage neighbors, who accordingly, not only respected his rights, but in many cases made him the umpire in cases of difficulties among themselves. In a case where a pumpkin vine sprang up within the premises of one Indian, and the fruit ripened upon the premises of another, the dispute which arose between them as to the ownership of the pumpkin, was referred to him ; and inspired with the wisdom of a second Solomon, he called for a knife, and severed the fruit, giving a moiety to each. This struck the parties as the perfection of justice, and fixed the impartiality of the judge on an immutable basis.

Nor was a sense of his justice and impartiality confided in by the Indians alone. When in 1662, Thomas Danforth, Esq., made a demand upon the Colony for a further compensation for his services, the Court ordered that he "shall have granted him so much land as old Goodman Rice and Goodman Howe, of Marlborough, shall judge to be worth ten pounds; and they are impowered to bound the same to him."

John Howe opened the first public house in the place. About 1670, we find his petition for a renewal of his license, and he speaks as though he had been some time engaged in the business.

The descendants of John Howe were very numerous ; though a portion of the Howes of Marlborough were of another family. John Howe's will, proved 1689, mentions wife Mary, sons Samuel, Isaac, Josiah, Thomas, and Eleazer, and dau. Sarah Ward, Mary Wetherby, and John IIowe, Jr., a son of son John, deceased. His property was inventoried at. £511. He gave Thomas "the horse he troops on."

Note 1

direct quote from History of Marlborough

"John Howe of Sudbury was one of the petitioners in 1657 for the grant which constituted Marlborough. He was the son of John Howe, supposed to be the John Howe, Esq., who came from Warwickshire in England, and who was a descendant of John Howe, himself the son of John of Hodinhull, and connected with the family of Sir Charles Howe of Lancaster, in the reign of Charles I."

NOTE: The "tradition" that John of Sudbury and Marlborough was the son of a John (or a James) Howe In England has not been proven. The histories of Framingham and Marlborough and the Howe Genealogies all acknowledge this tradition, but also note that all attempts to document it have failed. Extensive research has been performed on both sides of the Atlantic, without result. Mr. Richard Savage of Stratford, Secretary of the Shakespeare Birthplace Association made an investigation of the parishes of Warwickshire, which showed that there were several How's there in the 1580-1588 period, specifically John, Thomas, and Lyman of St. Nicholas Parish. A John How also appeared in records in the same parish for 1608-1609. No records of How's have been found for Hodinhull or Hodnet in Warwickshire or Hodnall in Shropshire. The Warwickshire Baptism Index, available through FindMyPast.com shows a John How , son of John How, baptized in St. Nicholas parish In Warwick on 15 Nov 1624. If he was born that year, becoming a Selectman in Sudbury in 1642 Is questionable.Any attempt to equate John of Marlborough with Warwickshire How's is speculative and conjecture at best.Howe-3137 18:14, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

"John Howe resided first perhaps at Watertown, and afterwards at Sudbury where he was in 1639. He was admitted a Freeman in 1640. ... In 1642 he was Selectman there. ... According to tradition, he was the first white man who settled on the new grant. He moved to Marlborough in 1657 and built a cabin a little to the East of the Indian planting field, where his descendants continued to live for many generations. His proximity to the Indian Plantation brought him in direct contact with the natives; and, by his kindness, he gained the confidence and good will of these neighbors, who not only respected his rights, but made him the umpire in cases of difficulties amongst themselves. In a case where a pumpkin vine sprang up within the premises of one Indian, and the fruit ripened on the premises of another, the dispute which arose between them as to the ownership of the pumpkin was presented to him. He called for a knife and split the fruit, giving half to each. This struck the parties as the perfection of justice; and put him in an immutable light."

"When in 1662, Thomas Danforth, Esq. made a demand upon the colony for a further compensation for his services, the court ordered that "he shall have granted to him so much land as old Goodman Rice and Goodman Howe, of Marlborough, shall judge to be worth ten pounds; and they are empowered to bound the same to him."

" ... will proved 1689 mentions wife Mary, sons Samuel, Isaac, Josiah, Thomas and Eleazer and dau Sarah Ward, Mary Wetherby and John Howe Jr, a son of son John, deceased ..."

Note 2

It is interesting to note that John Howe, Sr. was the founder of the Inn and Tavern business in the Howe Family. He was the owner and operator of the Black Horse Inn in Sudbury. Later, his son, Samuel gave the land to his son, David Howe, who built the Howe Inn upon it. The Howe Inn was later known as the Red Horse Inn due to a picture on its sign. Years later when it was operated by Lyman Howe and his sister, Jerusha Howe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a regular customer; and, immortalized the place in his book "Tales of the Wayside Inn". It is still operated today as the "Wayside Inn", although Lyman and Jerusha were the last of the Howe Family to own it.

Warning

The history and sources for John Howe's family in Sudbury and Marlborough and beyond are all well documented. But information on his date of birth, birthplace in England, parentage, siblings, and the last name at birth of his wife Mary are all based on less solid information and matching based on name similarities, at best. This information cannot be considered confirmed. I would welcome well documented refutation of this note.Walter Howe 12:50, 24 October 2015 (EDT)

20 NOV 1620 Hadnall, Shropshire, England, Source: AGBI Birth date: 1615 Hadinhull, Warws, England

NOTE: I am unable to reproduce this information in a search of the AGBI. In any case, the AGBI is full of unverified information.Howe-3137 18:14, 20 March 2016 (EDT) Death

28 MAY 1680 Marlborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts [1]

NOTE 1: Accounts differ on his death. Savage states it as 10 Jul 1678;. Hudson as 1687. Temple (History of Framingham) as 28 May 1680; Barry (History of Framingham) states his will was Jun 1689. Middlesex records (No. 8495) show that his will was witnessed by Abraham How on 24 May 1680, and an inventory was conducted on 5 Jun 1680. He must have died between these two dates, and Temple's date is the most likely one. Mass. Vital Records, Marlborough Deaths also cites this date. NOTE 2: John Howe's Will, transcribed in Howe Genealogies (John of Sudbury) on pg. 5, states: "In witness hereof I hereunto put my hand and seal this Twenty fourth of May in the year Christ one thousand six hundred and Eighty". I would assert that the the date of death provided by Savage is not worthy of consideration. Barry's account that his will was dated Jun 1689 is also dubious. Temple's date would appear to be the more accurate and better supported of the three. Vern Howe Event

From Howe Genealogies, p2: "It is certain that he was in Sudbury as early as 1638 or 1639, and that he was one of the 47 who shared in the division of the Sudbury meadows about that time. (13 N. E. His. Gen. Reg. 261; Ward's Shrewsbury 310 note ; Temple's Framingham 599; Hudson’s Sudbury 111.)
