Person:Issac Howe (1)

He came to New Ipswich several years later than his brother, probably about 1762. He settled westward from his brother, at the distance of a half-mile by a now abandoned road. His house was burned nearly a century ago, but it stood on or near the site of the house formerly occupied by Samuel C. Wheeler, which is still standing on the road running southerly from his later brick residence upon the Turnpike,(57, N. D.) His ministerial rate was fifty cents less than that of his brother, but he was equally active in town matters. He was chosen upon committees supposed to be formed of the wiser and more discreet citizens for such duties as giving instructions to the town's representative or for action in respect to the formation of the state constitution. He held the offices of town clerk and first selectman five years of the time during which those positions of responsibility were united. He gave service in the Revolutionary times as a member of the Committee of Correspondence and Inspection, and also in the field he was a sergeant in the company suddenly formed in 1775, adjutant in Col. Enoch Hale's regiment on its expedition to Ticonderoga in 1776, and quartermaster of the same regiment on service in Rhode Island in 1778. ^S3
