1. John¹ HOWARD was born on 6 Oct 1742.¹ He married Lucy (--?--) circa 1765 in NY. He married Hannah Ford, daughter of Theodosius Ford and Hannah Burbank, on 21 Dec 1780 in Liverpool, Queens Co, NS.² He married Mariah West, daughter of John West and Phoebe Freeman, on 14 Apr 1782 in Liverpool, Queens Co, NS.³ He married Patience Howard, daughter of Edward Howard Jr and Phoebe Hart, on 28 Nov 1784 in Pawling, Dutchess Co, NY.⁴ He died on 1 Jul 1824 in Hampton, Kings Co, NB, at age 81. He was buried on 4 Jul 1824 in St Paul's Cemetery, Hampton, Kings Co, NB.

Mystery surrounds the early life of John Howard. From the War forward we have a fairly good account of what he did and where he went, but before that we have a blank chapter in his life. Supposedly John Howard was born on 6 October 1742, according to a Bible held by Heather Roy (1998), which is the very Bible originally held by James Telfer for many years. Heather has sent this writer photos of the Bible, and she is one lucky person!

Military records show him to be at least six years older than that. It is also quite possible that he just might be the John Howard who was born in 11 Oct 1734, son of a John Howard in Simsbury, Connecticut. The elder John Howard had Sare, b. 26 Jan 1729/30 Simsbury, along with Christian/Christina b. 9 Sep 1732, John 11 Oct 1734 and Elisha 31 Oct 1739. Brothers John and Elisha Howard living in Charlotte precinct at the right time. Coincidentally, Christian Howard m. Simeon Rowley 3 Oct 1755 at Sharon, CT. Tax Lists for Nine Partners, Crum Elbow and Charlotte Precinct list a John Howard from February 1753 to Feb 1762 "to Amenia". Elisha Howard June 1761 - Feb 1762 "to Amenia". Simeon Rowley listed Feb 1756-Feb 1762 "to Amenia". All three were listed of Amenia from June 1762. Elisha's tax record listed him there until June 1763; and June 1767-1772, as well as 1778. John was listed June 1762 - June 1765. Simeon Rowley from June 1762-1768. None of this is conclusive, but does place both Elisha and John of Simsbury nearby. And, this John of Simsbury was born at a time that lines up with that of military records (1736). Records need to be checked further in following Simeon Rowley (1996).

John Howard was taken prisoner (18?) June 1776 and tried on his general character, a consequence for his allegiance to the King. He escaped to the HMS Phoenix and joined the Royal Army, leaving his wife Lucy and seven children behind. Sometime in the Spring the Commissioners of Sequestration seized and sold his personal estate: a farm of over 107 acres and livestock. In the Fall of 1777 or 78 his wife and seven of their eight children were sent to New York with just one set of clothing each. There, they were boarded onto a ship headed for Nova Scotia where he and the eldest son Edward were. They were lost in a hurricane of September 1778 enroute to Halifax. One might speculate that this ship was possibly the ill-fated "Bermuda" which sailed 11 September 1778 from New York to Halifax. Thomas West was said to have been lost at sea on this ship [NEHGR, Vol 126], and since John Howard knew the West family, and married Mariah West, this may be one theory as to which ship his family was on.

" Muster rolls list him as a Captain in the Corps of New York Volunteers from 10 Nov 1776 to as late as April 1778. By 16 Oct 1777 there were 300 or more men in three companies under Major Alexander Grant. In July 1778 Captain John Coffin of the King's Orange Rangers exchanged companies with Captain John Howard. Records show him being recommissioned as Captain of the Rangers 29 July 1778. At the end of the War he retired with half-pay for life, effective 25 October 1783. In April of 1786 John Howard wrote that he had been unable to report the losses of his confiscated land in Charlotte Precinct, New York before the allotted time had expired. He stated his residence to be Nova Scotia from 15 July 1783 until 25 March 1784. After his fourth marriage to Patience Howard in New York, he and his new bride went to New Brunswick where he discovered that his agent had not included his name in the grant of Quaco made in 1784. He then made a new application. Disposition given on 13 March 1786 [American Loyalist Claims, AO13/22/131-137] by Abel Peters and Jonathan Hoag, Jr. says his claim to land is just. They said his wife in 1777 had conveyed horeses and a wagon to David Arnold to settle a debt, but they were confiscated by rebels.

It was not until 1796 that the authorities in Fredericton finally approved the grant. In 1798, Capt. John Howard reported he had given up half his land and had settled four families on it, leaving him about 500 acres out of the original 1200. On 17 February 1810 John requested an additional 2000 acres for the accomodation of his ten children from Martin Hunter, Esquire, President of His Majesty's Council and Commander in Chief of New Brunswick. John Howard was buried on 4 July 1824, three days following his death. His wife Patience survived him and drew an officer's widow's pension until at least 1829. On 16 September 1824 Patience Howard swore before a justice that she had married John Howard 28 November 1784 in Dutchess County, New York. Her brother Edward Howard also swore to the marriage on 11 Feb 1825. He lived on 18 Dec 1788 in St Martin's, Saint John Co, NB.⁵
