Annals of Iowa, Volume 2: The first family of the name of Howe came from England as we are informed by old manuscripts still in the possession of the Iowa family of this name. John Howe settled in Sudbury Massachusetts in 1640 and was the first made freeman to vote. His father another John Howe was a direct descendant of the Howe family of Hadinghall Warwickshire England. This John Howe was connected with Lord Charles Howe Earl of Lancaster in the time of King Charles I. About thirty years after the formation of the Massachusetts Colony the Howe descendants emigrated to Marlborough and became selectmen to keep order in the church. In May 1656 of thirteen persons signing a petition to the General Court to incorporate the town, the second name is that of John Howe. The town was incorporated in 1660 by the records and the Indian deed to the Howe family for lands bears date June 12 1684. John Howe died in 1668 leaving a large family in Marlborough there being twenty eight voters alone of that name. In 1711 four of the twenty six garrisons were commanded by Howes. David Howe built in 1776 at Sudbury the Howe Inn whose sign was the Red Horse immortalized by the poet Longfellow in the Tales of a Wayside Inn. |
