EDWARD HOWELL FAMILY ASSOCIATION:
John Howell arrived in Boston in late 1639 in the company of his father.He was about thirteen years old when his family immigrated to NewEngland, and about sixteen years old when they settled at Southampton. On17 February 1647/8 in Southampton, he was, despite his youth, referred toas Mr. John Howell, when he was given three acres for his home lot. Johnwas chosen a freeman in 1648 and listed as a townsman in 1649 and againin 1659. He filled many offices through the years - Corporal of the"bande of soldiers" in 1650, Clerk in 1655, and Secretary of the QaurterCourt in 1657. As a Captain in 1667, he was attorney with henry Piersonin a dispute with Southold, and a commissioner for Indian Affairs, withMr. Thomas Baker. In 1661 and 1662, he with others made the "rate for theCuntry;" in 1664, John was appointed by Governor Nicholl to "collect &gather the severall Rates, Fines and Dutyes upon Long Island." Hetraveled frequently to Hartford, as a deputy to the Court, served asmagistrate, was chosen to go to Huntigton to settle a dispute in 1681(but declined to go) to Boston in 1682 to procure a minister, and toSouthold in 1684 to set a county rate. He was a deputy with ThomasTopping for Southampton to a general meeting of Long Island communitiesat Hempstead in 1665 to protest the annulment of former grants, treatiesand charters, when Long Island was made part of the province of New York.He served in many civic capacities, justifying the statement of W.S.Pelletreau that "The history of our town boasts no wiser head, or braverheart, than Major John Howell." 66
In 1687, John was given 11 acres of land "for his expense of time andtrouble about the towne business." With John Mulford of east Hampton andJohn Youngs of Southold, he refused to acknowledge the authority of theGovernor of New York, preferring Connecticut. Nine years later, in thebrief return of the Dutch to New York, Captain John Howell led acontingent to the defense of Southold in February 1674 (after anengagement, the Dutch withdrew). John was listed as Major in a drawing oflots. In 1680, he was paid 25 pounds 10 shillings for various expenses byCaptain John Young, High Sheriff of Yorkshire. In 1687, when the Frenchthreatened the area, the militia was put in readiness, with major JohnHowell and Captain Joseph Fordham in command. John Howell and HenryPierson witnessed the will of Thurston Raynor, Southampton, on 6 July1667. In the will Thurston Raynor requested "my dear friends, namely mybrother-in-law Samuel Clarke and my cousin Mr. John Howell to beoverseers of my will." Jonas Bower of Southampton in his will dated 13November 1670 makes "my cousin John Howell, Richard Post and John Jessupexecutors," the will witnessed by John Howell and John Jessup. Therelationship between John Howell and Jonar Bower has not yet beendetermined. John Howell, John Youngs and Henry Pierson witnessed a familyagreement concerning the estate of Robert Fordham on 26 November 1674."The deposition of Captain John Howell, aged about forty-eight years,being deposed saith, that three or four days before Mr. Robert Fordhamdied, being sent for to Mr. Robert Fordham's house, hee went into Mr.Fordham's new room. Mr. Fordham lay sick upon yee bed, this deponentasking him how he did. Mr. Fordham answered hee was ill. The deponentthereupon moved him to set his house in order, and used some arguments topersuade him." John Howell was witness, executor, and made inventories ofmany wills and estates, starting with the first one on record, that ofWilliam Ludlam of Southampton in 1665, to that of Anthony Ludlam in 1682.He was commissioned Justice of Suffolk County in 1689, and is so listedin 1693. John was justice of Southampton in 1687. In the 1683 Rate, hewas listed as Captain at 442 pounds, ten shillings. Major John Howell"being diseased in body" made his will "at Southampton in ye county ofSuffolk & Province of New York" on 3 April 1693, which devised:
"land to grandsons John, Stephen and Henry, sons of deceased son John;land at Southampton west of the great plain and at Middletown,Connecticut to second son Matthew; land at Wukapogue and Shinacocke tothird son Abraham; land at Wukapogue and Sinacocke to fourth sonEphraime; land at Saggabonnet, Smiths meadow, Hogneck and Potunke and atMiddletown, Connecticut to fifth son Theophilus; my now dwelling house,land at Wukapogue, at the little plain, and at Occoboague; one hundredpounds each to eldest daughter Susannah Pierson, second daughter PrudenceHowell and third daughter Abigail Halsy; twenty pounds to granddaughterSusannah Howell 'now with me;' one third of all moveables goods &chattels to wife Susannah and one third of all lands and 'my now dwellinghouse & garden' during her life, with wife Susannah and second sonMatthew as joint executors. 66
The will Major John Howell of Southampton, dated 3 April 1693, devised:

The gravestone of John Howell at Southend Burying Ground, Southampton,was inscribed:
