Notes |
- John, son of James & Mary (Cooper) Howard.
John came from England before 1643, with a brother, James, and settled in Duxbury. James went to Bermuda, and John remained in the family of Miles Standish. He was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, where he m. Martha, d. of Thomas Hayward. He and his descendant wrote their name Hayward until 1700, when it was changed to Howard, to conform to the pronounciation in use. It is possible that the original name was Hayward, and that the first step in the change was the omission of the third letter. His children were John, m. Sarah, d. of Robert Latham; James; Jonathan, m. Sarah Dean; Elizabeth, m. Edward Fobes; Sarah, m. Zacheus Packard; Bethiah, m. Henry Kingman; Ephraim, m. Mary, d. of James Keith. [1]
