According to Savage
HOWE, ABRAHAM, Roxbury, freeman.
2 May 1638, had Abraham, Elizabeth and Sarah, one or more perhaps,
born in England; Isaac,
born here 24 June 1639; Deborah, 4 September 1641; and Israel, 7, baptized
14 July 1644. His wife of whose baptized. name we are ignorant. died the
first week of December 1645, "the most sad mortal week that ever Roxbury
saw," says Eliot's childrens record and he removed to Boston, perhaps,
however, to Dorchester first, and died 20 November 1683. He had probably
other children. certainly Esther, named. in his will, as wife of Henry
Mason. That instrument. made 26 May 1676, probably 2 November following,
calls Abraham his eldest son to him, and Israel, and Isaac gives est. in
DEDHAM deeds. Esther, and Deborah, beside, children of daughter Elizabeth
and children (Joseph, Isaac, and Sarah), of daughter Sarah; executors.
son Israel, and son Thomas Pierce; and Thomas Tolman Senior with Thomas
Tilestone, Senior Overseers. Of his children little is known
ABRAHAM, Roxbury, son of the preceding probably born in England may have lived. in Boston or Dorchester some years. had at Roxbury, Abraham, baptized 25 September 1653; and Isaac, 30 March 1656; but I find not any other children of his, or the marriage though. others may have been born elsewhere.
ABRAHAM, Watertown, married 26 March 1658, Hannah Ward, had Mary, born 30 June 1659; Joseph, 9 Apr. 1661, probably died soon; and again, Joseph, 12 Feb. 1662; removed. to Marlborough, had Hannah, 1663; Daniel; Elizabeth 1665; Deborah, 1667; Rebecca, 1668; Abraham, 1670; Sarah, 1672; and Abigail, 1675; and died 1695. The preceding yr. he kept the inn, at which. the commissioners. of Mass. to treat with the Mohawks, lodged the first night of their journey. Mary married a Bowker; Hannah married 1684, Eliezer Howe; Elizabeth married Samuel Brigham; Deborah married 1688, John Barrett; Rebecca married Peter Rice; and Sarah married Joseph Stratton. Bond, 303, thought. him the same as the preceding but I could not concur with him because. near six mos. after the marriage of Watertown Abraham to Hannah Ward, Elizabeth Howe, wife of James of ROXBURY is call. his children by will of the first John Dane of Roxbury.
ABRAHAM, Roxbury, son of the sec. Abraham of the same, had Sarah, born 8 December 1676; Elizabeth 23 November 1678; and Abigail, 27 March 1682; died 12 Jan. 1684, and, I think, the widow married next yr. Thus f. son and grandson are little separate. in daughter
ABRAHAM, Lancaster, by wife Mary had Abigail, born 1702 and was k. by the French and Indian 31 July 1704. He was probably son of Abraham of Marlborough.
DANIEL, Lynn, 1630, freeman. 14 May 1631, ar. co. 1637, of which. he was the first lieut. rep. 1636 and 7, removed. to Southampton, L. I. a. 1640, where he was one of the earliest settler. and purchase. under the Earl of Sterling.
DANIEL, Boston, came in the John and Sarah, embarked. at London, November 1651, one of the prisoners, freighted in that ship, to be sold, as they unhappily surveyed. the battle of Worcester, 3 September preceding How long he lived. here is unknown.
DANIEL, Marlborough, son of Abraham of the same, married 1686, Elizabeth Kelley, had Martha, born 1687; Hezekiah, 1690; Daniel, 1692; Jonathan, 1695; Elizabeth 1697; David, 1700; and Zeruiah, 1702. *
EDWARD, Watertown, freeman. 14 May 1634, rul. eldest often selectman, and rep. 1635, 6, and 9, had a hard law a suit with Dudley of whom. Winthrop II. 51, speaks fully, and died 24 June 1644. His widow Margaret married George Bunker, and made her will 8 Apr. 1647, pro. 18 December 1660, by which. she gave one half of her est. to Nathaniel Treadway, who. had married her daughter Sufferance, two thirds of the residue to John Stone, who. had married her other child Ann, and the remainder to her sister. Mary Rogers and her children John, and Elizabeth of Boxtead, in Co. Essex. His inv. taken. by John Knowles, William Jennison, and John Sherman, 27 July following. in our Prob. Rec. II. 22, by the careless clerk who made the Index, is assign. to Edward Parill, and, as if that were not an improbable. if not impossible. name, it is taken. into General. Reg.,. VIII. 56.
EDWARD, Lynn, came in the Truelove 1635, aged 60, with Elizabeth his WIFE 50, who. survived. him; and children Jeremy, 21; Sarah, 12; Ephraim, 9; Isaac, 7; and William, 6; was freeman. 8 December 1636, rep. at March May, and September Courts 1638, and died Apr. 1639, very suddenly, as Winthrop I. 293, tells. A widow H. died at Lynn, 25 Jan. 1672. Felt.
ELIEZER, Marlborough, youngest son of first John, married 1684, Hannah, daughter of Abraham Howe, had Martha, born 1686; Deborah, 1688; Eliezer, and Hannah, twins. 1692; Gershom, 1694; Ephraim, 1699; and Eliezer, again, 1707; freeman. 1690.
EPHRAIM, New Haven, son of sec. Edward, came with his f. 1635, had Ephraim, born 3 Apr. 1653; Sarah, 25 Jan. 1655; July, 17 Jan. 1657; Samuel, 1 September 1658; Daniel, 1 Jan. 1664; Isaac, born 22 August baptized 16 September 1666; Abigail, born 23 Apr. 1669; and Esther, 18 November 1671; died 8 September 1680, [[475]] and his heirs were proprietors. in 1685. His widow Ann died 1712; daughter Sarah married 10 Apr. 1682, Nathaniel Tuttle; Abigail, married Daniel Brown; and Esther married 29 September 1692, as his sec. wife James Trowbridge. Of this man, who was a trader to and from Boston, the extreme suffering in return. home in his small vessel of 17 tons, from September 1676 to July following. is given. in the first art. of Magn. VI. c. i. who. had before. been print. by Increase Mather in his Remark. Providences. Dixwell, the regicide, under the name of James Davids, took for his sec. wife 23 October 1677, Bathsheba How, either daughter or niece, no doubt, of Ephraim or Jeremiah.
EPHRAIM, New Haven, son of the preceding had Mary, born 8 December 1674; and I hear no more, but that he and brothers. Isaac and Daniel died 1690.
EPHRAIM, Topsfield 1686.
ISAAC, Marlborough, brother. of Eliezer, married 1671, Frances Woods, had Elizabeth born 1673; Sarah, 1675; Mary, 1677; John, 1680, died soon; John, again, 1682; Bethia, 1684; Hannah, 1688; and Thankful, 1691; and he died 1724, leaving. widow Susanna.
ISAAC, Roxbury, son of Abraham, probably the sec. of the same, married 11 May 1685, Deborah Howe, perhaps a cousin, but who. was her father or where, or when she was born I find not, had in ROXBURY Abraham, born 24 October 1689; Abigail, 4 Feb. 1692; and, perhaps, he removed.
ISRAEL, Sudbury, freeman. 1680. JAMES, Roxbury, freeman. 17 May 1637, removed. to Ipswich before. 1648, married Elizabeth only daughter of the first John Dane of the same, had Sarah, and probably more children and died 17 May 1702, in 104th yr. according to. Ch. J. Sewall, having a short time prior given. evidence as to the bounds between. Rowley and I. Yet in the Dane pedigree, General. Reg. VIII. 148, it is said he was born a. 1605; so that he could have been only 96. He came, perhaps, from Hatfield, Co. Essex, or the neighbor. His daughter Sarah married it is said, 5 December 1666, John Bridges of Andover.
JAMES, Boston, perhaps had lived. at Ipswich, son of the preceding born a. 1634, and possibly. (for the name is too common to allow certainty), had wife Elizabeth daughter of William Jackson of Rowley, was freeman. 1669.
JEREMIAH, Lynn, son of sec. Edward, came with his f. in 1635, removed. to New Haven, there had Elizabeth baptized 30 March 1645; Bethia, or Bathshua, born 15 May 1648; Jeremiah, 8 July 1630; Joseph, 22 October 1653; John, and Ebenezer, twins. 26 June 1636; was a mariner, tradition to W. I. and died 16 Jan. 1691. His daughter Elizabeth married May 1669, James Redfield; and Bethia, married 23 October 1677, John Dixwell, the regicide, and outlived. him. Jeremiah, Zechariah, and Nathaniel, probably his son or nephews. were planters of Wallingford 1670.
JOHN, Sudbury, son of John, Warwicksh. (as a very respect. writer in Worcester Magaz. II. 130, gathers the tradition. speaking of his relation to Howe, Earl of Lancaster, when such a title in the peerage had not existed for near two hundred years.), had been a long time at Watertown, freeman. 13 May 1640, by wife Mary had John, born 24 August 1640; Samuel, 20 October 1642; Sarah, 25 September 1644; Mary, 18 Jan. 1646, died young; Isaac, 8 August 1648; Josiah; Mary, again, 18 Jan. 1654; Thomas; Daniel, 3 Jan. 1638, died young; Alexander, 1661, died soon; Daniel, perhaps twins. with the last in born and died; and Eliezer, 1662. He had pet. 1656, for the grant of Marlborough, and removed. thither with his family. and died 10 July 1678. His widow lived. twenty years. later. Sarah married a Ward; and Mary, married 1672, John Wetherby.

JOSEPH, Boston, a cooper, freeman. 1657, married 16 July 1532, perhaps as sec. wife Frances Willey, daughter of Thomas Marshall, but whose widow she was I know not, unless she were of that lsaac, who. Caulkins gives, I think justly, to Clement Minor. Probably there is some confusion. in the rec. This wife of Howe had been brother. by her f. from England and Isaac Willey's wife was a very young woman, born here. He had Joseph, born 25 June 1653; and Sarah, 28 Feb. 1656; beside Thomas, 7 Feb. 1659; Mary, 17 March 1661; Hannah, 15 Apr. 1665; Lydia, 16 March 1667; Ruth, 4 March 1670; and Samuel, 28 December 1674.

THOMAS, Marlborough, brother. of Eliezer, by wife Sarah had James, born 1685; Jonathan, 1687; Prudence; Tabitha; Thomas, 1692; and Sarah 1697. He was 35 years. old, when he swore, 27 December 1689, with Capt. Kerley, against Andros. See Revo. in N. E. Justif.35.
WILLIAM, Dorchester 1641, says Farmer, who. adds, that he probably went to Chelmsford, a. 1656; but I doubt, if he were ever at DEDHAM and presume, that he lived. at Concord, there by wife Mary had Daniel, who. died 4 June 1657; Sarah, born 17 July 1658, died young; and Hannah, 3 December 1660, son of Jeremy, married 22 March 1667, Sarah, sister. of Matthew, 18 November 1672 and Samuel; and he died 1703.

EDMUND, Southampton, son of the first Edward, perhaps born in England married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Sayre, but Goodwin says of Joseph Judson, and that the marriage was of 1 November 1664; and this may have been first, and Sayre's daughter sec. wife; had Sarah, who. died 10 Apr. 1685; and Elizabeth born 10 October 1669.
