Children of John Howard [#202] and Sarah Bennett: Mary, d. 22 Sep 1746. "Mary m. 29 Apr 1762, Obadiah Johnson of Canterbury, Conn., where she d. Dec. 10, 1863 [sic, 1763]. She had on son, Rufus, b. Nov. 24, 1763, and is remembered in his grandfather's will. Capt. Obadiah Johnson d. Apr. 10, 1765, in Canterbury."
[Note: the death of Capt. Obadiah is correctly reported but that is not the Obadiah that Mary married. Capt. Obadiah's will (Canterbury Probate Vol. 3, p. 303, dated 1764) names his wife Lydia. As the death record for Mary shows, she was the wife of Obadiah Jr., the son of Capt. Obadiah.]
