  • 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.
