1628 - 1701 (73 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Howard, John was born in 1628 in Sandwich, Kent County, England; was christened in in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Howard, James and Cooper, Mary); died on 15 Oct 1701 in Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. Notes:
John Howard, with his brother James, came from England and settled in
Duxbury; he was among those able to bear arms there in 1643. James, it
is said, went to Bermuda, and John came to W. B., and was one of the
proprietors and original settlers in the town a. 1651; was young when
he came over, and it is said, lived in Capt. Miles Standish's family;
was a man of much influence in the new plantation; one of the first
military officers in Bridgewater; took the oath of fidelity here 1657;
his descendants still own and live on the place where he first
settled; he always wrote his name Haward, and so did all his
descendants till after 1700, and the early town records are
conformable to this spelling; but for the last century it has been
invariably written Howard. It is remarkable that the two names of
Hayward and Haward, which have always been known as distinct families,
were uniformly pronounced alike, Howard. They were perhaps the same
originally, and both Hayward; but, in writing, John omitted the Y.
There was supposed to have been some connection between the families,
but perhaps it arose altogether from intermarriage, as John m. Martha
, D. of Thos. Hayward, and was a younger man even that Thomas Hayward,
Jr.--He d. about 1700.--He had John, James, Jonathan, Elizabeth,
Sarah, Bethiah, Ephraim.--Elizabeth m. Edward Fobes.--Sarah m.
Zaccheus Packard.--Bethiah m. Henry Kingman.--He was licensed to keep
an Ordinary or Tavern as early as 1670, and it is remarkable that a
public house has been kept there by his descendants ever since till
within a few years.
