    "Robert (Howard), Dorchester, freem. 1653, by w. Mary had Jonathan, Robert, Hannah, Jeremiah, Bethia, Mary, Temperance, and perhaps more, of wh. Mary and some others were b. in Eng. rem. to Boston a. 1660, was a notary pub. and d. perhaps, early in 1683. By the will of his wid. Mary, 2 July, pro. 19 of the same yr. we find some particulars of the fam. Hannah m. 23 June 1670, Samuel Minot. Beside her, the will provides for s.-in-law William Clark, a mariner, wh. had, I presume, m. a d. since dec.; for d. Bethia Messenger; for Samuel Bass, wh. was prob. s. of Samuel, by her d. Mary, wh. had since m. Isaac Jones; for Temperance Smith; for gr.s. John Howard, and his sis. Amy, and Mary, wh. must have been ch. of a s. dec.; for s. Jeremiah; d. Mary; and all the residue of est. to s. Jonathan."

    "1647. This spring we of Roxbury wth some of Dorchester ventured to sea in a small vessell but the master wanted sufficient experience, & the vessel overmasted & was over-sett, & many weeks after came whole allmost, ashore to shew the error of men to goe to sea so rawly: many mr cast away in her, mris stoughtons eldest sonne, mr Howards Eldest sonne wth many others."

    [footnote] "Quite likely this young man was a son of Robert Howard, and born in England. We know not his name. Robert Howard had several children born in this country. Jonathan
    and Nathaniel, baptized in Dorchester, Feb. 6, 1641; Hannah, Feb. 1643, who married Samuel Minot, youngest son of Elder George Minot, June 23, 1670; another Jonathan, April, 1643; John, Jan. 4, 1645, and Abiell, Aug. 6, 1647, were probably his children. It appears that Hannah Stoughton and Hannah Howard married brothers. Robert Howard was a selectman in Dorchester, clerk of the writs, notary public, &c. He was dismissed with his wife from the church in Dorchester, Aug. 16, 1668, 'to Joyno to ye Church at Boston;' died perhaps early in 1683."
