Descendants of Edward Howe

Edward1 Howe was born ABT. 1574 in London, England; died April 1, 1639 in Lynn, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth on UNKNOWN in England. She was born, ABT. 1584 in England. 3/8/98 Edward How with his wife and five children embarked on the "Truelove" for New England on the 19th of September, 1635. The names as they appeared on the list are as follows: Edward How, husbandman, aged 60, Elizabeth, aged 56, Jeremie, aged 21, Sara, aged 12, Ephraim, aged 9, Isaac, aged 7, William, aged 6. On reaching this country, they settled in what is now known as Lynn, Mass. He was admitted freeman December 8, 1636. He was a man of much ability, of good report, and a highly respected citizen. He was chosen deputy to the General Court in 1638, and in the same year, his named appeared on the list of land-owners in Lynn, as having 210 acres. He died very suddenly in April 1639, and his widow was appointed by the General Court to administer his estate on May 22, 1639. Of Edwards ancestry we have little information. It has been a long standing tradition in the family that he came from London, England, and there seems to be strong support in the foundation of this tradition. There may have been other Howes in Lynn prior to 1635 but little is know of them. Much of the information concerning the Howe families of Lynn are surrounded in vague traditions and suppositions, and it is largely owing to the fact that the records of Lynn, for the first sixty years are missing.
