| Note | I've compared the signature of John Howey on the probate of Jacob Howey of Abington in 1749 and am pretty confident this is the exact same person who signed the Wills of Abraham Howey of Sussex in 1773 and John McKee in Sussex in 1772. It is NOT the person who signed the will of Robert of Burlington in 1793.  | |
| Note | JOHN THE IMMIGRANT John Howey, an early colonial immigrant from Ireland, was the ancestor of most of the Howey families of Pike and Monroe counties and to some extent, those of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. The early records of the province of Pennsylvania portray a Howey family which emigrated from Ireland to America in the early 1700's, probably not later than 1730. They entered America at Philadelphia and settled in townships around the city. In these early records, various spellings of the surname occur-Hoey, Houey, Howay, Houwy, Howey. This immigrant family of brothers and sisters consisted of: Jacob - wheelwright; did not marry. Joseph - wheelwright; married twice; had 4 children. John - wheelwright, yeoman, land speculator; apparently married twice; had 8 children. Elizabeth Hoey Patten - apparently married twice; had 6 children. Martha Hoey Scott The records indicate that the men were educated beyond elementary schooling, and were sufficiently well financed to be able to acquire property and live in comfortable circumstances in America. It appears that all were of the Presbyterian faith. Jacob and Joseph were members of the Presbyterian Church in Abington in 1736 where Joseph appears in the marriage records as well as later in baptism records of his children. Elizabeth and John appear in the marriage records. John also appears as one of several grantors who donated a tract of land to the Presbyterian congregation of Tinicum. All family members, except John, remained in townships near Philadelphia until their death. John, on the other hand, headed north into the sparsely settled region beyond the Water Gap, acquiring property in 1738 along Big Bushkill Creek. In the following 40 years the records place John in Abington, Smithfield, Tinicum, Mt. Bethel, Lower Smithfield, Middle Smithfield, and Delaware townships. To minimize confusion he will hereinafter be referred to as John the immigrant. Evidence of the physical presence of John the immigrant and his first wife, Margriet Molhallon in the Bushkill area emerges with the 1745 baptism of their first son, John, at the Reformed Dutch Church located in Walpack, New Jersey just across the Delaware from now Bushkill, PA. Three later children, including Boudwyn, b. 1749, were baptized at the Smithfield, PA Congregation of the Walpack Church which was located in the area where Shawnee Village now stands. The last baptism was daughter Jezebel in 1752. In 1755, Indian raids devastated the pioneer settlements along the Big Bushkill. Among the many homesteads burned was that of John Hoey (sic). For more than a decade after this disaster we found no records of activity by John Howey in the Bushkill area. The account of the Indian raid did not include John HoeyÙus family among those killed so we conclude they survived. Later records support this conclusion. On the other hand, records of the decade following the Indian attack include numerous events involving John Howey in the area of Tinicum, Bucks County, supporting the conclusion that after the raids he fled to safety there. These records confirm this John Howey as John the immigrant of Abington. Since the earlier John Howey of the Bushkill area was also of that family, the conclusion is that John of Tinicum and John of Smithfield was the same person, John the immigrant. Again, later records bear this out. Prior to the Indian attack, the records of the Abington Presbyterian Church include the marriage of John Hoey (sic) and Jane Morrison in 1754. We surmise that JohnÙus first wife, Margaret Molhallon, died sometime after the birth of Jezebel in 1752. In the years from 1755 to 1760, John Howey the immigrant fathered 4 (perhaps 5) children, all born in Tinicum. The children named in a family bible were: Jean Howey, Born August 22, 1755 John Howey, Born February 10, 1757 Jacob Howey, Born October 9, 1758 Mary Ann Howey, Born January 19, 1760 As will be explained later, one of the sons is in the direct line of descent to many Howey families of northeastern Pennsylvania. In the late 1760Ùus John the immigrant again begins to appear regularly in the records of the Bushkill area. His son, Boudwyn, also appears in many of these records which include land, tax, and military records (Boudwyn only) in Northampton County until 1781 after which no further record of John the immigrant appears. He does not appear in the 1790 federal census so we surmise he died between 1781 and 1790. Over a span of more than forty years from 1738 to 1781 the record shows John Howey engaging in land speculation; writing, witnessing, and executing wills; paying taxes; and fathering 2 families, one in the Smithfield/Bushkill area; the other in the Tinicum/Bucks area. Although the records of his presence are numerous, we found no death or burial notice, or any other direct evidence of his passing. We have found no document of inheritance although later records suggest that property was passed to his son, Bowdewine of Delaware Township. Despite the fact that many of the recorded events were land transactions, we have never found him in a transaction involving the original 100 acre tract on the ÙSFlat Bush KilnÙT which John Howay obtained by warrant in 1738.

| Note | Email exchange with Edward J. Howey on whether the John Howey of Tinicum and John Howey of Smithfield were the same person. MessageFrom: Robert Howey [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 2:07 PM To: 'edward j howey'; 'Barbara' Cc: Robert Howey Subject: RE: The 2 Johns of PA Ed, I agree that nothing directly ties someone described as John Howey from Tinicum, wheelwright with the Abington Howeys but I think there is sufficient evidence to conclude so. A) Signatures There are 3 signatures for John Howey that I feel can be considered to be the same and tie the families together 1) The Dec 1762 signature of John Howey on the probate of the estate of Jacob Howey of Abington. In his will Jacob named Joseph and John brothers. This ties John directly to the Abington Howeys 2) 16 Sep 1772 signature of John Howey on the will of John McKee of Oxford, Sussex, NJ. McKee named Abraham Howey his trusty friend in this will. Along with John Howey, wheelwright of Tinicum, John McKee was one of the named sellers of land to the Presbyterian Congregation on13 Apr 1767. Also McKee and Howey co-witnessed the will of William McLeroy in Nockamixon, Bucks, 6 May 1765. 3) 2 Sep 1773 John Howey witnesses the will of Abraham Howey of Oxford, Sussex, NJ. Since this Abraham Howey is undoubtedly the same as the Abraham earlier in Abington signatures 2 and 3 also tie John, wheelwright of Tinicum to Abington. Now the question is how do we tie John Howey, wheelwright, of Tinicum to John of Smithfield, yeoman. 1) Yeoman conveys the meaning of a farmer who owns his own land. John clearly bought and sold land so certainly could have qualified as a yeoman. Probably just about everyone farmed so this may have been meant more to convey "landowner" than anything. In any case, I don't find this so significant as to believe a wheelwright could not also be called a yeoman. 2) We have a pattern of land sales and purchases that show land being sold in Bucks and being purchased in Northampton. He gets the land warrant in Mt. Bethel in 1765. He sells land in Tinicum on 1767. I know this is oversimplified but to me it shows the possibility he moved. It also seems at least possible that Mt. Bethel and Lower Smithfield Twp. may have overlapped. Ed- do you know the details of the history of local naming and the historical township and county boundaries? Lower Smithfield Twp. doesn't even exist today does it? It appears Mt. Bethel originates in what is now northeastern Northampton Co and Lower Smithfield would have been in what is now southern Monroe Co. **Here's what I feel is the key record: John Howey, yeoman, late of Bucks Co., executor of the will of Jacob Howey, late of Abington Twp., deceased. John Howey is being summoned based on a complaint filed by Samuel, Mary Ann, and Margaret Howey to render a full and accurate accounting of the estate of Jacob to the Justices of the Peace. To appear Monday 8 September next. Issued 9 Jun 1766. Bucks Co. Orphans Court record. This means John Howey was no longer living in Bucks by June 1766. This record alone ties John Howey of Bucks to Abington AND to a John Howey known to still be living in June 1766 and no longer living in Bucks. I've seen no evidence to make me believe the John Howey in Smithfield is not this same person as was in Bucks. Your thoughts and any clarification of the Mt.Bethel/Lower Smithfield boundary would be appreciated. .....Bob -----Original Message----- From: edward j howey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 5:36 PM To: Robert T Howey; Barbara Subject: The 2 Johns of PA Hello, We have a number of events where John of Tinicum, wheelwright, is directly connected to the Howey family of Abington, PA. Despite a heavy preponderance of events involving a John of Smithfield, yeoman, none that I know of connects that description directly to the Howey family of Abington. But here is a possibility: John Howey witnessed Abraham Hooey's Will in 1773. I have charted all the events I have found involving a John Howey, and after 1769, there are none in Tinicum, but there are numerous events involving John in Smithfield up until 1781. Is this enough to believe that John who witnessed the Will of Abraham was John of Smithfield? Do you know of any other clues that would strengthen that conclusion? If the conclusion is correct, then this event connects John of Smithfield to Elizabeth Patten Hooey of Oxford/Abington, and John of Smithfield and John of Tinicum become the same person as they seem to be.

| Event-Misc | 1746 | John Howey was From Edward J. Howey-- Petition to erect Smithfield Twp. Source: History of Bucks County by W. W. H. Davis, A.M., CHAPTER XXXVII (1876 ed.) or CHAPTER VII (Vol. II), 1905 ed., SMITHFIELD; ALLEN; MOUNT BETHEL; MOORE; EASTON 1746 TO 1750 Note: Signer John Houay is most likely John Howay of the 1738 Warrant, along with his neighbor in that document, Rudolphus Schoonover. These signers were among the earliest settlers to take up land in what are now Monroe/Pike counties. Excerpt: "The first attempt to organize Smithfield was in 1746. In June of that year the inhabitants petitioned for a township "to begin at the gap (3) in the mountains where the river Delaware runs through, and from thence five or six miles, a north and by west course, and from thence to the north corner of Christoffel Denmark's plantation, and from thence with a straight line to the river Delaware, and thence the several courses thereof to place of beginning." On the back of the petition is endorsed the words, "Plan next court." The following names were signed to the Petition: Patrick Kerr Christoffel Denmark Bernard Stroud Valentine Snyder William Clark John Pierce Robert Hanuch Nathan Greimby D. Westbrook Nicholas De Pui Daniel De Pui James Hyndshaw Aaron De Pui Isaac Tak Richard Howell Redolphus Schoonover John Houay John Courtright Thomas Heson Henry Huber William McNab Samuel Vanaman Brinman Scoumaker. It is doubtful whether the township was laid out under this petition, for we find that in June 1748 the inhabitants of Dansbury (4) and Smithfield petitioned the court for a township "to extend from the river Delaware along the mountains to a gap in the same through which the road from Mimicker's [McMichael's*]to Nazareth goes, from thence northerly to a large creek commonly called Bushkill, down the same to the Delaware, to the place of beginning." in 1746 at Bucks Co., Pennsylvania.20 |

That entry shows the name John Howey written in the left margin. It was not clear what role the person named in the left margin played in the transaction. Edward J. Howey research: John Howey cited in Patent awarded to James Hyndshaw for land in Smithfield. Citation refers to land surveyed to John Howey in 1744. Patent states that John Howey did not comply with the terms of the Warrant so the survey was declared void and the 108 ½ acre tract awarded to Hyndshaw. At the same time Hyndshaw conveyed to John Howey a 97 acre tract of his that adjoined the 108 ½ acre tract. The reason for this apparent land swap is not known.
