Book Description

Excerpt from Ancestry and Descendants of Jacob How(e): Of Rowley, Mass;, Baldwin, Bridgton and Paris, Me There is an unconfirmed tradition that the Howes about Paris, Sumner and Norway, Me., are descended from three brothers who came to America from England. The ancestry as given in the following pages is well established and has been gleaned at intervals during the past ten years from various printed documents. This pamphlet is published partly for the gratification of relatives and partly to assist in the work of the larger and more exhaustive History of the Howe Family now under compilation by Judge Daniel Wait Howe of Indianapolis, Ind. The principal sources of information are: - Report Record Commission of Boston, Mass., Temple's History of Framingham, Mass., Nason's Howe Family Gathering, Wyman's Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown, Mass., Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Essex Institute Historical Collection, Essex Co. Historical and Genealogical Register, numerous other books and periodicals and private correspondence. Recognition is here made for any assistance which has been rendered by interested friends.
