"The will of Elizabeth How bearing date of 11-19-1690, is also of record in the New Haven Probate Records, in which she mentioned her sons Zachariah, Nathaniel, Jeremy, Joseph, and John, and her grand-child "Lidia," probably Lydia, daughter of her son Nathaniel, born 6 Nov. 1675. In the will her son John is named as Executor. The same records show that 'widow Eliz'h died 1-23-1695-6. It would seem, therefore, to be quite reasonable to say Jeremiah had two children, Zachariah and Nathaniel, born (probably in Lynn) before he went to New Haven."
