Person:Jeremiah Howe (9)

"Jeremiah² Howe (Edward²), was born in England about 1614; came to this country with his father in the 'Truelove' in 1635, being at that time 21 years of age. It is quite certain that he lived in Lynn a few years. He probably moved from Lynn to New Haven, Ct., as early as 1644. He married Elizabeth -----, (ancestry unknown). The records of New Haven show that he was a lot owner there in 1643, and also that he took the oath of fidelity 2 May 1647. He was dismissed from the church in Lynn in 1645, and in the same year his name appears as one of the members of Centre Church in New Haven. He probably kept a public inn, for he was licensed 'to sell strong water by pints or quarts.' (New Haven Col. Records 1638-1640, p. 94, 140, 368). He and his brother Ephraim afterwards settled in Wallingford, Ct. His name and the names of his sons Zachariah and Nathaniel, are found among those of the first settlers, proprietors and taxpayers of Wallingford. (Davis' History of Wallingford, Ct., p. 78, 85-6). His will dated 11-15-1677, is recorded in New Haven probate Records, Vol. 2, p. 77. In this will it is recited that he is a mariner and is about to sail for the Barbadoes, and he leaves everything to his wife Eliza. (Elizabeth). Appended to the will is the following: 'We whose names are underwritten do hereby signify and declare that we are fully satisfied.' (Signed) Zachary How. Nathaniel How. Jeremiah How. Joseph How."^[3]
