Genealogical History of ME: John Howe, a son of John Howe of Warwickshire Eng, was for a long time a resident of Watertown MA. In 1638 or 1639 he was one of the first settlers of Sudbury,, where he was admitted freeman 5/13/1640 and was selectman in 1642. His name appears on the contract of 2/7/1642 as a member of the committee representing the town with whom John Rutter agrees to build the first meeting house erected in the town. He petitioned in 1656 for the grant of Marlborough and is said to have been the first white settler on the grant, to which he moved in 1657. He was appointed by the pastor of the church and selectmen to see to restraining the youth on the Lord's day. His kindness and honesty gained for him the confidence of the Indians to such an extent that he was often called upon to settle disputes among them. He opened the first public house in Marlborough and he kept it for several years. His grandson, David Howe, son of Samuel Howe, received of his father in 1702 a grant of 130 acres of land, in the "New Grant" territory, on which he built the Red Horse Inn or old "Howe Tavern," the famous "Wayside Inn" of Longfellow. The date of his death is given as 1678 and also as 1687, July 10. By his wife Mary, who survived him 20 years he had 12 children: John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary died young, Isaac, Josiah, Mary, Thomas, Daniel died young, Alexander, Daniel & Eleazer.

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.
