HOWLETT.


CORNELIUS2 HOWLETT was a son of Major Davis1 Howlett and Mary his wife. We do not find the exact date of his birth. He d. in Keene, Sept. 13, 1834, at the age of 72. He was therefore b. in 1761 or 1762, perhaps before his parents moved to Keene. His father was a famous military character. It was he who dispersed the band of Capt. Elisha Mack of Gilsum, on May 31, 1779. Mack's heart was fired with the patriotic desire to hunt up the tories of the vicinity and take them prisoners and secure the arms and ammunition which he fancied that they had secured to aid the British. His " raid " on the tories of Keene, on the morning of the day named, was an irregular and illegal performance, however commendable might have been his motives. His band of " soldiers " was met and dispersed by Capt. Davis Howlett. See Hayward's History of Gilsum, pages 160 and 161, also page 439; also Griffin's History of Keene. Davis Howlett had a good Revolutionary record. He was known as Maj. How- lett. He d. in Keene, Feb. 23, 1817, ae. 80 ; his wife d. there, Apr. 1, 1826, ae.
