LEVI HUBBARD HOWE. John How (1), the English progenitor of Levi Hubbard Howe, of Holden, Massachusetts, was descended from an ancient and distinguished family. His immediate family descent. we are told, is from the Hows of Hodinhall. Very little is known of the English ancestry beyond the name and that John How lived in Warwickshire and was the father of John How, the immigrant ancestor, of whom later.

(II) John Howe, son of John How (I), came to New England when a young man and is' said to have been at Watertown for a short time. He settled in Sudbury in 1639 and lived there nearly twenty years. In 1642 he was selectman, and in 1655 was appointed by the minister and selectmen to "see to restraining the youth on the Lord's Day." He was admitted a freeman May 13, 1640. He was one of the Sudbury petitioners to the general court in 1657 for the grant of land which con- stituted Marlboro, and he was the first white man to settle in what is now the flourishing city of Marl- boro. He has had a host of descendants in that town and the vicinity, though some of the families of this name are descended from another early settler in Marlboro, Abraham Howe, who came there from Roxbury. Edward Howe, of Water- town, Massachusetts, was some relation of John Howe. John Howe settled about a hundred rods from Spring Hill meeting house, a little east of the present road from Spring Hill to Feltonville. He was a neighbor and friend of the Indians until the war broke out in 1675, and was often an arbi- trator and advisor. He was selectman of Marl- boro. He petitioned the general court September 30, 1662, to be excused from training because he was "aged, thick of hearing and maintained three soldiers in the family." It is likely that these three sons fought in King Philip's war. He kept the first public house in Marlboro.

Ile died at Marlboro May 28, 1680. His will was made May 24. 1680, and proved June 15. follow- ing. He bequeathed to his wife Mary; children Samuel.

He and his wife belonged to the Congregational church until November 15. 1784, when at their own request they were dismissed and recommended to Mr. Gair's, of Medfield, evidently a Baptist society, for the church record states: "the objections offered against the church were admitting persons without a verbal relation of a work of grace on the heart, and baptizing infants without warrant from the word of God."

(VII) Jotham Howe, son of Jotham Howe (6), was born at Holden, Massachusetts, April 17, 1782. He was a farmer and cooper by trade, and he fol- lowed his trade to some extent besides conducting his farm, which was situated in the northeast part of the town. He joined the Baptist Society of Templeton, March 13, 1805, and was exempted from being taxed to pay the Congregational church ex- penses.

(VIII) Silas Howe, son of Jotham Howe (7), was born in Holden, Massachusetts, October 5, 1814. He was educated in the common schools of his native town, and during his youth assisted his father on the farm. Then he worked in the saw mill at the North woods, and during the busy seasons used to work nights and half the days as well, put- ting in eighteen hours out of twenty-four in the mill. When he was twenty-two years of age, he went to live on the homestead of his wife's father, Benjamin Hubbard, in the northern part of the town. and later he bought the farm, which con- tained some one hundred and ten acres. He car- ried on this farm for a period of forty years or more. In his younger days he taught school for several terms. He did an extensive teaming busi- ness and burned charcoal for the market before the days of anthracite and bituminous coal. He cut timber and sold lumber and fire wood besides his general farm work. He was a man of great activity and energy, and used to say that he did not know what it was to be tired. His physical endurance must have been remarkable and it was tested almost daily through a long life of hard labor. He was thrifty, saving and shrewd in making investments, and acquired a competence. He invested largely in government bonds at a time when financial support was appreciated by friends of the Union. He used to answer those who questioned the wisdom of his course by saying that, which ever way the war went, he stood as good a chance as anyone. In this case he combined shrewdness and patriotism. He was a close student of public affairs, a well- read man on many subjects, a man of independent judgment, common sense and self-reliance. In re- ligion he was a Baptist, and in politics a Republi- can. He served on the district school committee, was overseer of the poor and highway surveyor. He died at Holden. October 29. 1891.

At the age of sixteen years and until he was twenty-five, he carted wood from Holden to Worcester, bringing back groceries, coal and general merchandise for the Holden merchants. In 1871 he removed to Princeton, where he bought of his uncle, Warren Hubbard, an eighty-five acre farm in the south part of the town, and conducted a dairy farm, selling his milk and eggs in Worcester, largely to private customers. In 1894 he returned to Holden to take charge of the homestead and he remained there eleven years. In 1892, shortly after his father's death, he bought his present farm of twenty-four acres at Holden Centre of Thomas W. Gleason. It was known as the Ethan Davis place at that time.

EDWARD MARVIN WOOD comes of Colonial ancestors. The progenitor of the family was John Wood, alias Atwood, who settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts. as early as 1636, and died leaving a will probated March 7, 1675, which mentioned sons : John, Nathaniel, Isaac, and six daughters. For many generations their descendants have paid tribute to the old historic Plymouth Colony.

Among the early settlers of Stafford, Hartford county, Connecticut, were the families of Wood, Alden, Fuller, Foster and others from Plymouth county, Massachusetts. Thomas Wood, of Bridge-

water, a blacksmith by trade, bought of James Linds- ley, January 4, 1742-43, for one hundred and thirty pounds current money, fifty acres of land in Stafford, the deed having been recorded January 24, 1742-43. After making this purchase, he seems to have re- turned to Bridgewater where, February 23, 1744, was recorded the intention of his marriage to Dinah Perry. Having taken Dinah to wife, they returned to Stafford where, May 30, 1748, he purchased twen- ty-five acres of land of James Blodgett, deed re- corded July 19, 1748, and states that both the parties were of Stafford. The children of Thomas and Dinah (Perry) Wood, as recorded at Stafford, were: Joshua, born January 26, 1747-48; John. January 20, 1749; Nathan, March 16, 1752: next child record was torn, name not readable; Ruth August 15, 1756; Lydia, August 22, 1758.
