Henry Howland and his Descendants.

The youngest (at least the last mentioned in the will of Humphrey) of the Howlands who have been heretofore referred to as arriving at plymouth probably before 1625, was without doubt Henry. It is on record that he was a brother of Arthur, and they all doubtless held the same family relationship to each other. Some of the colonists may have reached greater distinction in civil affairs, but none have a better record for integrity, thrift, uprightness, and unmixed faith in the Divine One, than Henry Howland. It is clear that these virtues did not die with him, but permeated the lives of many of his children, and his children's children, unto the ninth generation. As we read of his vicissitudes, discouragements, perseverance, endurance, courage and victories, let us, like our honored ancestor,

"In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! But be heroes in the strife."

Search has been made in vain for his name on records of departures from england and arrivals in this country. The first mention made of him in New England is that in the allotment of cattle to the different families in plymouth in 1624, he appears as the owner of the "black cow." On the first page of Vol. I of the court records of new plymouth, is found in a list of freemen, under date of 1633, the name of "Henery Howland". On the 25th of march of the same year he is taxed "s.9 for the publike vse,.....rated in corne at vi s p bushell." His thrift is shown in the fact that on the 27th of march, 1634, he is on the tax list for 18s.

He appears in Duxbury among its earliest settlers, some of the first inhabitants of Plymouth locating themselves there across the harbor, on the north side of the bay. Here he is referred to as living "by the bay side, near love Brewster's," and the record reads that he was "one of the substantial landholders and freemen."

The old records of Plymouth Colony say that "Att a Courte held ye 5 of Jan., Ano 1635," Henry Howland was chosen "cunstable for Duxberry."

"At a Genall Meeting the xxth of March 1636-7" to appoint committees to assign the "Hey Grounds of Ducksbury were appoynted to view the hey grounds from the riuer beyong Phillip Delanoys to the South Riuer." (Mr Edward Winslow, Henry Howland, The messenger Phillip Delanoy.)

In 1640 he purchased five acres of upland and one acre of marsh meadow in Duxbury, the price which he paid being "Twelve bushells of Indian Corne." For several years he was surveyor of highways in the town. in 1643 he was on a list of freemen of Duxbury, and of men able to bear arms. He served on the "Grand Inquest" (grand jury) in 1636, 37, 39, 40, 49, 51, 52, 53, 56.

He was evidently placed on the next grand jury, for his name appears in 1657, June 3d, on a list of those who refused "to serue on the Grand enquest". The apparent reason for this is that he had joined the Friends' sect, which was just beginning to spread in America, and the duties were such that he could not conscientiously perform them.

The Friends had adopted as the guide of their purposes and the polar star of their lives, a religious faith which had for its foundation the pure word of the Almighty Father, and with the strictest conscientiousness they courageously carried out its precepts, as we have said before, against the fiercest opposition and hardest warfare ever waged against any so-claimed religious belief in this country, where licentious free-lovers and adulterous Mormons have since wallowed in their pools of filth without molestation. They passed through the furnace of affliction, and were yet surrounded by great tribulation when they stepped out into the great future, but their descendants lived to see peace and good will to smile upon their principles so fondly cherished. They suffered much in both colonies, but Cotton says that though their persecutions were equally great here, yet they were never subjected to those cruel and sanguinary laws which the other colonies enacted. The law against heretics in general was first enforced agianst them, and then special laws were enacted against them. A fine of L5 or a whipping was the penalty for entertaingin them, and for attending their meetings one was liable to a fine of L2. At this time the laws against the people of this society were being enforced, and Henry being one of them, he could not conscientiously sit on the jury before which his own brother Arthur, who had joined the society, his brethren in the faith, and himself, were liable to be brought as transgressors of the civil laws of the colony, which were as inflexible and unalterable as those of the Medes and persians.

It may be of interest to the reader, as it has to the writer, to peruse the entries in the Plymouth Colony records in relation to the part in which Henry acted as victim in these persecutions. For this reason they are given here as they appear there.

On the 3d of June, 1657, Ralph Allen, Sr., of Sandwich, was drawn, but refused to serve on the grand jury, and at the very next session of the court, October 6th, he was brought before the jury for entertaining Quakers, fined and imprisoned; and before many weeks Henry Howland, his brother, Arthur, and his son Zoeth met the same fate. Henry entertained Nicholas Upsall, who was an earnest and courageous defender of the tenets of the sect, whom Whittier immortalizes in verse, and who visited this section in 1657. Public proclamation was made that for every hour Nicholas Upsall as entertained "a severe fine was to be exacted" from his host.

At the court of October 1657, Henry "was summonsed to appear at the next March Court to answare for intertaining Quakers meetings in his house." He appeared at the court referred to, and was fined 10s.

The Howland family was well represented in the dock of the court of March 1st, 1659, as follows: "John Smith Junir, of Plymouth, and Deborah, his wife, Goodwife Howland wife of Henery Howland, Zoeth Howland and his wife, Arthur Howland and his wife of Marshfield, hauing bene p'sented for frequently absenting themselues from publicke worship of God, were sentanced by the court each ten shillings to the collonies vse."

At the court of 1659, Oct. 6th, "William Newland and Henry Howland appeared, being summoned, and were convicted by law and sentanced by the court to bee disfranchised of theire freedome of this corporation...for theire being abettors and entertainors of Quackers." May 1st and October 2d, 1660, Henry was fined for "p'rmitting a quaker meeting in his house twise... and for entertaining a forraigne Quaker contrary to order of the court." Once, when refusing to pay his fine, his house and lands were seized by the marshal.

There is a remarkable coincidence of history in the fact that while Henry of New England was passing through these trials, there was a Henry in old England under going similar ones. It appears that in 1662 a "Henry Howland of Tewksbury, in Glocestershire, for refusing to bear Arms, or to pay toward the Charge of the Maletia had a Horse taken from him worth 4 1. 8s. The Person who took the Horse acknowledging that he did it against his Conscience, Henry Howland told him, he might then expect some judgment would follow; and it was observed, that the said Person, having ordered his Son to sell the Horse, as he was riding, the Horse ran violently with him against the Arm of a Tree, so that he died of the Blow immediately." In November, 1665, the same Henry had "three Cows and one Steer taken from him for permitting religious Meetings at his House."

Through all this persecution and suffering Henry and his "goodwife" clung to the cause thay had espoused, and died as they had lived during the sunset hours of life, triumphant in the faith.

Toward the latter part of his life he became a large possessor of real estate. In 1652 he was associated with others in a large tract of land in Dartmouth. On the 2d of April, 1659, together with twenty-six others, he bought of Wamsutta and pattapanum what was then called Assonet and is now Freetown. they gave 20 coats, 2 rugs, 2 iron pots, 2 kettles and one little kettle, 8 pairs shoes, 6 pairs stockings, 1 dozen hats, 2 dozen hatchets, and 2 yards broadcloth. At the division, in 1660, of "ye ffreeman's land att Taunton River," which was this purchase, he received for his share the sixth lot. This was afterwards inherited by his son Samuel. he was one of the grantees of Bridgewater, but probably never lived there. In 1664 he bought a large tract of land in Mettapoisett (Swanzey.)

Were the early records of Duxbury in existence, we should know more of the life of this noble man. they were probably burned in Miles Standish's house, as at the time it was destroyed by fire Alexander Standish, who lived with Miles, was clerk of the town.

It appears from Henry's will, that he owned a house in Duxbury, where he doubtless died and expected his widow would remain. It is evident, however, that he had assisted in provinding for his immediate posterity a more gongenial home than Plymouth, namely in Freetown and Dartmouth.

Roger Williams, who had already been banished form Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies, had established in rhode Island a government the charter of which guarantied that every one should be free to enjoy his own opinions, as long as they did not militate against the general goods. Into and on the borders of this land of religious liberty the Friends fled. Henry's property was near the boundary line of that state, but within the jurisdiction of Plymouth Colony. On the land he owned at Freetown his son Samuel settled probably as early as 1665, as his last appearance on the P.C.R. is in 1664. At the commencement of the Quaker persecutions at plymouth, Henry became interested in the original purchase of Dartmouth, for a Plymouth in 1652, there was assigned:

One share to Mr. Howland and one to Wm. Bassett.

He doubtless built a house on this land, the one his widow gave to their son John. He and his wife may have lived there, as his horses and cattle were there. On this purchase Zoeth settled, without doubt, as early as 1662, his name appearing on the P.C. R. for the last time in 1661, and immediately preceding that frequently. Of the other two sons, John was probably a bachelor; and it is safe to judge that Joseph lived on the old homestead at Duxbury which his father gave him, and took care of his mother after his father's death, she living in the "new Room," as she gave him all her goods and chattels.

In 1662 Samuel was presented to the Plymouth court for breach of the sabbath in carrying a grist from mill, and was "fined ten shillinges or be whipt." we hear no more of his sabbath-breaking, and he was afterwards consistent in his life and highly respected. the same year of the occurrence of the above eqisode in his life, he was charged before the court with "discharging a fowleing peice on the body of William Howse of Sandwich, while gunning at the High Pine on the Salthouse Beach, wherby the said Howse was wounded lanquished & ymediately died." Samuel, being asked by the court by whom "hee would bee tryed, answared , by God & the countrey." the jury, after the trial returned the following written verdict, "Verbatim: Not guilty of wilfull murder; yett wee find that the said House reciued his deadly wound by Samuell Howlands gun goeing of as it lay on his shoulder." He does not appear on the P.C. R. after this date, and it is probable he soon went to Freetown and settled on his father's land, a tract called "the sixth lot." the records refer to him as one of the original proprictors of that town. he was prominent there in civil affairs, and during his life a large landholder. Among the "Names of the Select Men of y' severall Townes in y' Colony" is Samuel Howland of Freetown." he was chosen assessor of that town 24, 11, 1694.

Samuel's will was dated 15, 2, 1715, and proved 7, 5, 1716, so he must have died between these two dates.

From the Research of Eleanor A Ticknor, Deputy Historian, Town of Lisle.

She found no information on Barnabus Howland pertaining to being a whaler before coming to Center Lisle. The Town of Lisle Census Records show him to be a farmer.

The descendants of Samuel Howland worksheet lists Barnabus as dying in 1865. This is not so. He was living at the time of the June 1880 Lisle Census. His name is not included in the files of Vital Statistics at the Lisle Town Clerk's office. These records were started in 1887; therefore, She concludes that Barnabus Howland died somewhere between June 1880 and Jan. 1887.

There is no stone found in the Center Lisle Cemetery with his name, nor Sally's. A Howland marker is there with the name of their son Adison: son of Barnabus & Sally Anne Howland, d. March 11, 1843; aged 2 y 9m 1d. the Lisle Vital Statistics at the Town Clerk's office says Sally Howland is buried in Center Lisle. It is likely that both Sally and Barnabus are buried alongside their son.

The home of Barnabus and Sally Ann Howland

Located about 1.5 miles from NYS route 79 on Popple Hill Road, approx. 2.5 miles west of the village of Center Lisle. their son Arthur lived here, but lost the farm due to the illness of his son. the farm was purchased by James Bird Howland and then by my great-grandfather, Frederick Phillips. The house burnt in the 1930's. (source of info: Walter Phillips).

In Hamilton Child's Gazetteer and Business Directory of Broome and tioga Counties, NY for 1872-3., Barnabus Howland is listed as living on Lot 432 [refers to lot # of the Boston Purchase when Mass. sold the land to 60 proprietors in the 1780's] in Center Lisle. His farm was 65 acres.

Family story: Sally didn't like Barnabus' smoking a pipe. Barnabus, tired of the complaints, flung the pipe out into an open field. Some time later, after seeing Barnabus moping about because he didn't have his pipe, Sally was seen in the field trying to locate it. (source: W. Phillips)
