THE HOWLETT FAMILY


THE HOWLETT FAMILY.


By Lovering.


Sylvester Howlett, son of John Howlett, born in Wood- stock, Conn., the latter part of the eighteenth century. He was old enough to enlist for service in the war of 1812, his name appearing in the Co. from Ware and vicinity. His work was for the protection of Boston and vicinity the muster roll being dated 1814. See Chapter XIII. He probably married soon after his return from the war for we note that his son Lewis C. Howlett was born in 1820, his third child. In 1837, Feb. 11, he bought the farm in the south part of the town that for years has been known as the "Howlett Farm," buying it of one Edward B. Knapp, and is mentioned in the deed as coming from Sturbridge. Mr. Knapp had purchased it of one Hiram Chase. Mr. Howlett made this his home for a long series of years, rearing a family of which his son, Lewis C. Howlett, was for years identified with Holland, buying his home of one named Parks, which, when Holland was incorporated, was the homestead of Joseph Bruce mentioned in the warrant for the first town meeting of Holland. Lewis C. Howlett's son, Lewis M. Howlett, has long been identified with the town's best inter- ests and is well and favorably known.

SECOND GENERATION.


2. Abel2 Janes (William1), was also a petitioner for the settlement of the town of Northfield, and a soldier in the "Falls" fight. He lived most of the time in Northampton until 1706, when he went to Lebanon, Ct. He was b. 1646; d. Dee. 18, 1718; m. Nov. 4, 1679, Mary Judd, d. Apr. 24, 1735.

William3 went from Lebanon, Ct., to Brimfield, where he bought 500 acres of land. His name does not appear among the original proprietors and as his youngest son was born in Lebanon in 1734 it is probable that he came from Lebanon to Brimfield soon after that date. The land that he owned was on what is now called Janes Hill in East Brimfield. Holland was then included in Brimfield.
