The Howard Family

of Bridgewater, Massachusetts

Desir Na Repos - Zeal Does Not Rest

The Howards claim as their ancestor Herward the Wake (died 1072) who was of local Mercian background in central England and resisted the Norman conquest of England from his base at the Isle of Ely; he has since become a mainstay of English folklore. It is claimed that he was the son of Leofric, Earl of Mercia and Lady Godiva, the nude rider. Ultimately this ancestry traces back to a point of origin in Leicester. While legendary pedigrees trace the family to the 10th century, indisputable descent begins with Sir William Howard (died 1308), a judge who was in the House of Commons in the Parliament of 1295.

 First Generation

1. Lt. John Howard  was born about 1627 in England. He died on 15 Oct 1701 in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA. He was buried in Old Burial Ground, Bridgewater, Plymouth, MA.

The following is from: “Mitchell’s History of Bridgewater, Massachusetts,” by Edward C. Mitchell, D.D.,

(Edward Alden: Bridgewater, MA, expanded and reprinted in 1897):

"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., [West Bridgewater] 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 than 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."

The following is from Herman Howard's "Descendants of John Howard," (Privately published, MA, 1903):

JOHN HOWARD, with his brother George (also reported as James who went on to Bermuda), came from

England. Their widowed mother Mary, and at least one sister, remained in England. He settled in Duxbury

at about age 15. He was among those who were able to bear arms there in 1643. He lived in the family of

Capt. Miles Standish, who came from Shorely, Lancashire, England. Standish treated him like a son.

John soon moved to Bridgewater, and was one of the original settlers and proprietors of that town. He

was the first Howard to settle in Bridgewater, was a man of much influence in the new plantation. In 1645

his name appears as one of the 54 original proprietors of the grant of land afterward known as

Bridgewater. In 1656 he was one of the two surveyors of highways for his town. In 1657 he had taken the

Freeman's oath. He was one of the fourteen men whose allotment of land was in the easterly part of the

grant. He was one of the first military officers, and was appointed Ensign on 27 Sept 1664. In May 1676,

during King Philip's War, Ensign John Howard, with twenty others, fought with some Indians and took

seventeen of them alive with much plunder, and all returned without serious injury. On 5 June 1678 he

was a deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts; also on the same date was appointed a selectman

of his town. In 1683 he, with Thomas Hayward, was a representative to the General Court. On 2 Oct 1689

he was promoted, and received his commission as a lieutenant.

John was a carpenter by trade. He spelled his name Haward, and so did his descendants until after 1700.

He lived in a house which he built near the first meeting house. It stood directly north of the house where

B. B. Howard now lives [1903], on the corner of Howard and River streets. This was the first public house

in Bridgewater, as Mr. Howard was licensed to keep an ordinary or tavern, in 1670, at this place. This

house was owned and managed by John Howard and his direct descendants for a period of 151 years.

John Howard opened the tavern in 1670, and kept it 30 years, until his death in 1700. His oldest son,

John, then became proprietor, conducting it 26 years, until 1726. His son, Maj. Edward, was proprietor

from that date to 1771, for 45 years. His son, Col. Edward, owned and conducted the house for 38 years,

from 1771 to 1809, when he died. Then his widow and son, Capt. Benjamin Beal Howard, kept the house

open 12 years, until 1821. The house was taken down in 1838. A list of the distinguished guests of this

tavern, could we know their names, would make exceeding interesting reading. Without doubt, one of the

early distinguished visitors was Mary (Chilton) Winslow, (the first lady who came on shore from the

Mayflower), who was grandmother of the wife of the second proprietor, John Howard. An occasional

guest was John Reed, D. D., who was a member of congress during Washington's administration. Oakes

Angier, a young lawyer, Hon. William Baylies and Judge Howard, were other prominent and frequent

visitors. Lieut.

(Edward Alden: Bridgewater, MA, expanded and reprinted in 1897):

"John (s. of John 1) m. Sarah, D. of Robert Latham, and lived in E. B., where Dea. Samuel Keen now

lives, till a. 1703, when he sold to Edw. Mitchell, his uncle by marriage, and removed to W. B. He was

sometimes called John Howard minimus, and sometimes John Howard of John's Bridge, not only to

distinguish him from his father, but also from John Hayward, who was an older man, both names being

pronounced alike.— He had Susanna, Edward 1697, Robert 1699, Martha, Sarah, Bethiah. He d. before

our forefathers at Plymouth in 1620."

John  settled in Joppa in East Bridgewater, and lived on the spot where Deacon Keene afterward lived.

While there, his father and friends at West Bridgewater would speak of Joppa as, "down at John's," "

John's bridge," "John's river," so that these designations were later adopted in the records. After the death

of his father, he sold his house and farm to his uncle Edward Mitchell in 1703, and went back to West

Ephraim inherited from his father the land on which his house stood, near where the Howard Seminary

now stands. He was representative to the General Court in 1723.

Mary Keith "was courted by Ephraim Howard, not much to the acceptance of the old minister [Rev. James

Keith, who, in 1688, was all of 45].  Notwithstanding his objection they were secretly married, and were

pursued by the irate father.  Arriving too late to prevent their marriage, he returned, and, complying with

the prevailing custom, preached the following Sabbath from Hosea 4:17-"Ephraim is joined to idols let him

alone."  Time, however, softened his spirit, and the reconciliation which followed inclined him to preach

from Jeremiah 31:20-"Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child? For since I spake against him I do

earnestly remember him still".

Also a direct ancestor is Lt. Ephraim Howard's father-in-law:

1. Rev. James Keith  was born in 1642/1644 in Scotland. He died on 23 Jul 1719 in West Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA. He was buried in Old Burial Ground, Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA.

The Rev. James Keith's parents are unknown. Although reported educated in Aberdeen, Scotland he

may have been a student from elsewhere. There are only three recorded baptisms in the Scottish parish

records which might apply to him:

James Keithe baptized 10 Sept 1640 in Aberdeen, son of Gilbert Keithe and Agnes Norie.

James Keith baptized 22 Dec 1642 in Uphall/Strathbrock, West Lothian, son of Alexander Keith.

James Keyth baptized 19 Mar 1645 in Aberdeen, son of Alexander Keyth and Cristane Kempt.

Based on the Scottish naming custom the first daughter and second son are named after the wife's

parents, which was here followed for Susanna Edson. This indicates James' first son and second

daughter were likely named after his parents, that is James Keith and Mary. No record of a marriage or

children from such a couple is known.

In that James departed Scotland for the America around 1662 at about age 18 he had little or no college.

It may have been that his parents were deceased or he came with friends or family.

The following is from: “Mitchell’s History of Bridgewater, Massachusetts,” by Edward C. Mitchell, D.D.,

(Edward Alden: Bridgewater, MA, expanded and reprinted in 1897):

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. “The first settlements having been in the west parish, the first church was

of course formed there, and although social worship on the Sabbath had not probably been omitted or at

all neglected, yet having been few in number and feeble in substance, they were at first unable to

maintain a minister, and, by thus forming themselves into a regular church, enjoy the full benefit of the

Christian institutions. In this situation they remained from 1651 to 1664, a period of a little more than

twelve years. They had in the mean time employed a Mr. Bunker, to preach as a candidate, and made

him an offer of settlement, which however for some reason not appearing on the records did not take

place. They also as early as 1661, agreed and voted to build a house for a minister, who should be called

to settle among them, and to give him also an entire purchase right in the township.

Feb. 18, 1664, the settlement of the Rev. James Keith, their first ordained minister, is recorded, and the

terms of it particularly expressed. He is there called "a student in divinity, having some competent time

improved his gifts amongst them in the work of the ministry, and having also due approbation by the

testimony of the Rev. Elders of other churches of Christ, to whom he was known." He was a Scotchman,

educated at Aberdeen, and probably came to Boston about the year 1662, and was introduced to the

church at Bridgewater, by Dr. Increase Mather, whom he always esteemed as his patron and best friend.

In the second preface to the "Bridgewater's Monitor," the first having been written by Increase and Cotton

Mather, it is said Bridgewater had not an ordained minister till 1663. This had reference to the old style,

probably, when the year commenced on the 25th of March. The terms of his settlement were liberal; a

double house lot of twelve acres with a house built thereon, and a purchase right, so called, being a fifty-

sixth part of the original grant; .£40 annual salary, .£20 to be paid at Boston in money, and the other half

at home. In 1667 they gave him an additional grant of thirty cords of wood annually, " the cutters of the

wood to have five groats, and the drawers seven groats a cord." In 1681 they raised it from £40 to £50,

£20 to be paid at Boston in money, and £30 at home in corn and provisions. In 1689 they agreed to allow

him £10 in corn in lieu of his thirty cords of wood. He died July 23, 1719, ae. 76, of course was about 21

when he was ordained.

Mather, in the Magnalia, places him in the third class, " who were all such ministers as came over after

the re-establishment of the Episcopal church government in England, and the consequent persecution of

the non-conformists." This must have been a mistake, as Mr. Keith was from Scotland, and besides could

not have been a minister before he came over, being very young and but a student when he arrived. The

text he selected for his first sermon was from Jeremiah 1. 6, "Behold I cannot speak ; for I am a child."

The Lord however indeed encouraged him, '- and put his words into his mouth," and he proved a worthy

man and a faithful shepherd over his infant and feeble flock. His advice and influence with the civil

authorities of the colony were also considerable. In the case of the capture of Philip's wife and son, when

the question as to what should be done with the son was in agitation, and the opinion of grave divines

desired, Mr. Keith's opinion, stated in a letter to the Rev. Mr. Cotton, in favor of mercy, and differing from

most others, had great weight, if indeed it was not decisive on the occasion. The boy's life was spared,

and with his mother he was sent out of the country, and probably to the Bermudas. The letter follows, and

is well worthy of a place here.

"October 30, 1676. I long to hear what becomes of Philip's wife and his son. [Note:  Phillip was a local

Indian. The wife and child of King Phillip were sold into slavery instead of hanged and what happened to

them after that is unknown.] I know there is some difficulty in that Psalm 137. 8, 9, though I think it may be

considered, whether there be not some specialty and somewhat extraordinary in it. That law, Deut. 24.

16. compared with the commended example of Amazias, 2d Chron., 25. 4, doth sway much with me in

the case under consideration. I hope God will direct those whom it doth concern to a good issue. Let us

join our prayers at the throne of grace with all our might, that the Lord would so dispose of all public

motions and affairs, that his Jerusalem in this w1lderness may be the habitation of justice, and the

mountain of holiness, that so it may be also a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down."

He preached the sermon at the dedication of the new meeting house in South Bridgewater in 1717, two

years only before his death, which was printed in the " Bridgewater's Monitor," and which contains some

pertinent and impressive remarks on the subject of intemperance even at that early period. " Besides

other evils," said he, " which might be mentioned, I would refer particularly to that of intemperance, the

excessive and prodigious expense upon strong drink, above all, that of rum; I say, the scandalous and

horrible abuse of rum, which threatens ruin unto this land and to this place; a ruin to all our dearest

interests, both civil and religious. If there be any such houses among you, as I fear there are, that vend

that strong drink contrary to the law of God and the wholesome law of this province, let such of you as are

vested with civil power and stand obliged unto the oath of God, see that such grievous profanation be

suppressed, lest that iniquity, the abuse of rum, be our ruin."

His posterity have been, and still are, very numerous. The names of two hundred of them in Bridgewater,

alone appear on a late census; and there are a great many also in Middleborough, Easton, Mendon,

Maine, and other parts of the United States. Israel Keith, formerly Adjutant General of the Commonwealth

was one of his descendants.

William Brett, among the first planters of the town, was a ruling elder in the church, ordained soon after Mr.

Keith, and probably aided and assisted them in their public worship from the commencement of their

settlement, and even after the ordination of Mr. Keith. He was a well educated and intelligent man as is

manifest from his letters to Gov. Winslow, still extant, and was much esteemed by his brethren, and often

employed in their secular affairs. - The following extract, bearing testimony to the worth and good

character of the church and its officers, is taken from the early church records of Plymouth. " The worthy

church of Christ at Bridgewater have for their pastor Mr. James Keith, who came by the wise disposing

hand of Providence out of Scotland. William Brett, a grave and godly man, is their ruling elder; and John

Willis, their deacon, a good man and one that hath proved himself faithful. They carry on in a way of

peace, holiness, and good gospel order."

The Rev. Daniel Perkins, successor of Mr. Keith, was ordained October 4, 1721. He was a native of

Topsfield, in the county of Essex, and graduated at Harvard University 1717. He died September 29,

1782, ru. 86th, and in the 62d year of his ministry, which was not long only, but peaceful and efficacious.”

The following is from Appleton's "Cyclopaedia of American biography," (1840):

“James Keith, clergyman, was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, Scotland, reportedly at the

expense of a maiden aunt. He came to Boston, MA in 1662 at age 18. He became the first ordained

minister of the church at Bridgewater on February 18, 1664.  Mather in the "Magnalia," places him in the

third class "who were all such ministers who came over after the re-establishment of the Episcopal

Church government in England, and the consequent persecution of the non-conformists."  His pastorate

continued until his death, a period of over a half-century.  In 1717, at the dedication of the new meeting

house in South Bridgewater he preached the dedicatory sermon, which was published in the "

Bridgewater Monitor," and in which he spoke on the subject of intemperance.  He owned a one fifty-sixth

proprietary interest in all the lands at Bridgewater. Mr. Keith had much to do with saving the life of the wife

and son of the Indian chief, King Phillip in 1676.  His letter on King Phillip's family is printed in the "History

of Bridgewater" by Nahum Mitchell.”

Rev. James Keith home was located in West Bridgewater on the north side of River Street, near the

crossing of Forest Street. It was originally built in 1662, enlarged in 1678, and remodeled in 1837.

James' tombstone inscription reads: Here lies the body of the Rev. Mr. James Keith, died July 23, 1719,

Letter written by Tisdale from Durhamville, NY on 2-12-1862

I've your letter of last week & in answer I would say: my health is some better. I have to cough much yet &

am not able to do anything of the work kind. As to our business matters: I wish to do right. If I do not have

a will, all will come in for an equal share, now John has had two hundred & twenty dollars in money & he

gave his notes for $39 to his hands on the boat & sign my name to them. I told them to go to New York

and put an attachment on the boat. They did so and had to pay $51. I scolded him on that and he replied

he had a right so to do: when Harry came home he said let him go, so I withdrew: there remains a claim

against me of probably $130 on that boat which will have to be paid or have a lawsuit. So you see John

has had more than $360 and now George Low offers to take the property and pay the debts and maintain

me and pay the funeral charges and fulfill a will in the following order:

to you we send $25 sometime in the ensuing summer that is to pay your expense down here last fall.

Then $200 after my decease and $200 to Justin V., $100 to Desdimona A. and $100 to Harriet, $100 to

each of Charle's children and $300 to Edwin and to Harry $600 and as much more as he can afford after

setting the debts. Elizabeth C. is to have all the household furniture. This is about as I have made up my

mind to do. Now if you can get up a will that will be any more just or equal please write soon. If you are

satisfied and think that is about right send them. Note is and we will send the $25 as soon as convenient.

If I have written so you can read and understand my meaning. You think it proper for you to come down

here, you had better come soon for life is very uncertain at best. Old Mr. Frazee was buried last week and

George Williams last week and John Newcomb is but just alive, and now because my letter I am tired and

have the headache and I have had more of the complaint in three weeks than I ever had in all my life and

now may your conduct for the remaining part of your life be [?] your conscience shall approve and merit

the approbation of Heaven. This is the best wish of your friend & Father.

Seventh Generation

305. Benjamin Howard  (Theophilus Howard, Katherine Bathsheba Keith, Susanna Williams, Martha Howard, Ephraim, John) was born on 14 Dec 1817 in Schoharie Co., NY. He died on 20 Jul 1897 in Franklinville, Cattaraugus Co., NY.

Moved to Franklinville, New York in 1840. Listed as a lumberman and farmer, living on the Hinsdale Road

#13. Ben Howard lived in a house on the corner of Cherry and Chestnut Streets, and in 1880 began a

milk route.

From The Chronicle, Friday July 23, 1897.

"The death of Benjamin Howard which occurred at his home on Chestnut Street, in this village last

Tuesday evening, removed one of the conspicuous characters in the early history of Franklinville and

Cattaraugus County. He was 80 years of age last December.

Positive historical data concerning Mr. Howard is hard to find and the few facts given below were not

positively set on the statements here published most of which are but recollections.

He came to this town from Schoharie County in the early forties - about 1842 - and moved into the old

hotel on the north west corner of the cross roads at Cadiz, then the rival of this village for the business of

the town and for several years he ran the hotel. This was on one of the much travelled thoroughfares for

stages between Pike and Ellicottville and from Olean Points to Buffalo and the old house was one of the

principal stopping places on the route. It is said that hardly a day passed but that 40 or 50 teams loaded

with goods going between Olean and Buffalo stopped at Mr. Howard's hotel.

He was a hard worker and saved some money while landlord there, and a few years later moved into this

village and bought the old Major Partridge property which included hundreds of acres of almost vacant

farm land east of the present village park. The western angle of this is now covered by the First Bank, the

Chronicle office and adjacent buildings. This farm reached to the foot of Kingsbury Hill and included

cemetery hill and all lands between on that side of Chestnut street to the center of the village.

He was a money maker in a way, owning the stage route to Hinsdale and other points hereabouts, as well

as being as extensive dealer in cattle. When the Erie road was first built through from New York to

Dunkirk, Howard bought and ran the old McKee Hotel at Hinsdale, the nearest point to this place which

the road passed.

There and in Allegany he also bought considerable timber land. These ventures were not very successful

and marked the turning point of his financial career. On them he lost money heavily. Before those

investments he was reputed to be worth from $10,000 upwards which at that time was considered a

fabulous sum, but it stayed by him but a short time, and about 23 years ago he was reduced to almost

poverty.

He was a good hearted, liberal friend and by this fault - if it is a fault - many financial troubles were

brought upon him.

His entire life from the time he came from Schoharie County has been spent in this village where he and

his wife had many friends because of the neighborly and considerate qualities which they possessed.

Five years ago he was running a mowing machine in a meadow upon which shortly before a circus tent

had been pitched. A tent stake had been left in the ground and the machine on which he was riding was

upset throwing him forcibly to the ground. His hip was severely shattered, causing a trouble from which

he never fully recovered.

His wife died in May of last year and since then he has been gradually failing in strength. His mind was

active to the last and notwithstanding the many unfortunate circumstances of his latter days he was the

same genial Ben Howard at 80 as he was earlier in life when fortune was smiling pleasantly upon him.

A family of six children survive him."

Benjamin married Tryphena Gifford . Tryphena was born on 18 Jun 1817 in Schoharie Co., NY. She died on 10 May 1896 in Franklinville, Cattaraugus Co., NY.

They had the following children:

+      329 M        i.  Frederick Howard  was born in 1851.

310. Russell Marshall Howard  (Tisdale H. Howard, Katherine Bathsheba Keith, Susanna Williams, Martha Howard, Ephraim, John) was born on 10 Feb 1813 in Schoharie Co., NY. He died on 18 Feb 1893 in Redfield, Spink Co., SD. He was buried in Redfield, Spink Co., SD.

Warranty Deed issued to him 9/25/1843 from Justus Howard, both of Sodus, Wayne Co. NY. The witness,

Edgar Galloway, stated that he and Justus were both from the town of Marion.

In 1850 Russell farmed in Eckford, Calhoun Co., MI with wife Emaline and children Martha E., Charles T.,

and Adeline A. In 1870 he farmed in Eckford; the value of his property was $8,000/$2,000. At home were

his wife, children Martha, Charlie, Adda, and Mary plus Marcus Howard, a carpenter, age 21 from NY. In

1880 he lived in Eckford (page 201) with his wife Emeline A., children Charles and Mary, and a nephew

Franklin Howard, 20 from NY.

Russell M. HOWARD -- Russell Marshall Howard, one of the early settlers of East Eckford (Calhoun Co.,

MI), and a highly esteemed citizen of that locality up to a few years ago, when be removed to Redfield, S.

Dakota, died February 18, 1893, of diabetes. The Redfield Journal-Observer says:

"An old and respected citizen, a kind and loving father has gone to his rest.  Russell M. Howard was born

in Schoharie County, N.Y. February 10, 1813, and was just 80 years and 8 days old at the time of his

death.  His boyhood days were spent in New York state and he removed with his parents to Oneida

county, the same state, and lived there for a number of years.  In 1849 he decided to start out into the

world for himself and came west, locating in Michigan.  He finally settled down in Calhoun county, that

state. In 1850 he was married to Emeline Morse, who died here in October, 1889.  He came to Dakota in

January, 1883, and located in Redfield.  Shortly afterward he took up a homestead in Faulk county, which

he finally transferred to his only surviving daughter, Mrs. W. H. Smith, of Faulk county.

  Mr. Howard always took a great deal of interest in the political affairs of the nation.  He was one of the

original old line Whigs, having been one of the first in the organization of the republican party in Michigan.

  He had been in failing health ever since the death of his faithful companion of many years, whose loss

he keenly felt because of physical infirmities.

  As the junior member of Hatch & Howard, he has been in business here for some years, though not

actively engaged about the store.

  He leaves a daughter and son to mourn his loss, the former, Mrs. W. H. Smith, of Faulk county, and

Chas. T. Howard our honored townsman."

Russell married Emeline A. Morse . Emeline was born on 4 Jul 1829 in Geneva, NY. She died on 5 Nov 1889 in Redfield, Spink Co., SD.

From obituary in the Redfield (So. Dak.) Journal, Nov. 8, 1889:

 " Mrs. Howard was loved and admired by all who knew her.  In early girlhood she united with the church

and led a life of Christian beauty.  Kind, sympathetic, lovable and beloved, she leaved behind her

memories of good deeds done and kind, cheering words spoken to those around her who needed help,

sympathy and encouragement.  None will miss her gentle care and kindly encouragement more than her

life-partner to whom she has for 40 years been a
