Long Island did not come under the jurisdiction of New Yrok until 1664when Charles II granted territories to his brother James, Duke of York,hence came the name New York.
Edward Howell was the son of Henry Howell and the grandson of WilliamHowell, whose Manor of Westbury at Marsh Gibbon was a fine stonestructure of the 16th century, two stories high and called a doublehouse. Edward inherited this manor upon the death of his father in 1625.Thus, he was a part of the landed gentry and his family had a coat ofarms. Some scholars trace the Howell family back many generations to the900s in Wales.
After his father's death, Edward, who was living at Stewelltorpe in YorkCounty at the time, sold his large estate in Buckinghamshire, the Manorof Westbury, which had been purchased by his grandfather in 1536 duringthe reign of King Henry VIII. On June 8, 1639, he sold the manor toRichard Francis of Marsh Gibbon for 1,600 pounds. Later that same year,at the age of 55, he set out with his family for the "new world". WhenEdward and his family reached Boston in late 1639, it was sparselypopulated. The first record we have of Edward Howell in the United Statesis the list of freemen of Boston, published on March 13, 1640.
Edward Howell received from King Charles I of England a grant of 500acres at Lynn, Massachusetts, and he moved there from Boston. But he didnot stay long at Lynn. He had heard of more fertile land to the south onLong Island. On April 17, 1640, Edward Howell was one of threeproprietors who obtained authorization to occupy eight miles square inany part of Long Island which was part of the Connecticut Colony. Beingan owner of a sloop which from time to time carried dissatisfiedcolonists south to Long Island, Edward Howell decided to make the movewith his family. In June or July, the Howells landed at Southampton, LongIsland, where they were to stay.
Edward Howell is considered one of Southampton's founders, and he owned alarge estate there. Being a natural leader, he served on the governor'scouncil of Connecticut from 1647 to 1653 and helped compile the rules andregulations for the fast growing colony at Southampton. Some of theserules were harsh by today's standards. For example, for lying a personhad to pay a fine of five shillings and sit in the stocks for five hours;for drunkenness the fine was 10 shillings for the first offense, 20 forthe second, and 30 for the third.
In 1647, Edward Howell was selected to serve as a member of thelegislature at Hartford, Connecticut, and he held this position until hisdeath. Long Island did not come under the jurisdiction of New York until1664 when Charles II granted territories to his brother James, Duke ofYork, hence the name New York.
"He disposed of his considerable estates in Bucks county in 1639, amongwhich was the manor of Westbury in Marsh Gibbon, purchased by hisgrandfather, William Howell, in 1536, and came to Boston, where he wasmade freeman, March 1640, removed to Lynn, then about 1640 was one of theleaders of a compact to settle Long Island." 64
Further research as shown in "Genealogies of Long Island Families - FromThe New York Genealogical and Biographical Record", Volume I, Albertson -Polhemius, Selected and Introduced by Henry B. Hoff, GenealogicalPublishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1987, pp. 489-492, places the date ofthe sale of the manor of Westbury and Edward's departure to America as1638 rather than 1639. 8,33, 66
Edward died before October. 6, 1655, as court records dated 6 October1655, granted Eleanore Howell all his goods. In March 1657, the townallowed her 20 shillings because her house was burned to the ground bythe Indians.
Long ago, in early colonial times, Water Mill was the first and onlycommunity on the eastern tip of Long Island that could boast of a milldriven by water and not by wind. Until it was put into operation by awealthy land owner, our Edward Howell, four years after the "Undertakers"came to the island in 1640, all mills in the colony were wind drivenbecause of the scarcity of swift flowing streams.
Howell came in 1640 to the tiny settlement, called "Mecox," a name takenfrom the Shinnecock Indians for "flat or plain country." He announced hewould build a mill for the grinding of grain, rye and wheat, into flour.The colonists expected him to construct a "wind mill" but he had adifferent idea. He made his choice of land so that it included a livelystream which emptied into Mecox Bay. There, as settlers watched, Howellbuilt his mill upon the creek and built it so durable that 327 yearslater, it is still standing in the serene little town of Water Mill.
Now, the ancient mill, but a few miles from the Old South End BuryingGround where the original miller is buried, is owned by a woman'sorganization of the village.
For many generations the mill supplied flour for the townspeople of WaterMill and adjoining communities. The mill's large grinding stones and thedeed were given to Howell by the town. In return, the miller signed anagreement to supply such necessities of the town as grinding of graingrown anywhere in the Water Mill area and delivered to the mill.
That Howell lived up to his agreement faithfully is duty recorded in thetown records. The name Water Mill is the lasting memorial to the pioneermiller who built the first grist mill run by water.
Two of the grinding stones are in the park where there is a wind mill andthe other two are at the mill. 8

__________
MATERSON, RICHARD- A Separatist, Richard Masterson was recorded at
Leiden as a woolcarder from Sandwich, England. He had been a surety for
Robert Cushman in buying a house in Leiden. He married 23 November 1619
Mary Goodale. There was also a John Masterson living in Leiden, who
married in 1633 Catherine Lisle, but it is not known if they were related
(Dexter, p. 624-25). He came to Plymouth in 1629 or 1630, and he died in
the 1633 sickness, being noted by Bradford as one of their ancient
friends from Holland (Bradfmd [Ford], 2:171). His widow Mary married
Rev. Ralph Smith, and in 1649 as Mary Srrtith, sometime wife of Richard
Masterson, she made over to her son Nathaniel Masterson and her daughter
Sarah, wife of John Wood, her interest in a house in Leiden that had
belonged to her deceased husband (PCR 12;176-77). Along with Francis
Jessopp, Thomas Nash, Thomas Blossom, and Roger White, Masterson had been
one of the signers of a letter dated 30 November 1625 from Leiden to
Bradford and Brewster in which they said sadly that if they were to
rejoin their brethren in Plymouth, it would have to be accomplished by
the means of the Plymouth group (Bradford Letter Book, p. 21). Nathaniel
Morton called Masterson one of the deacons of the Leiden Church who had
given part of his estate for the good of the Separatists (Ply. Ch.
Rees. 1:83).
