  • Notes 
    • John HOWARD, Sr. has often been confused with with his son and many genealogies have often confused his offspring with his son's and vice versa. To confuse things even more, John HOWARD's surname has often been spelled as HAWARD. Add to this some genealogies give him 2 separate wives (Sarah LATHAM and her sister Susanna LATHAM) while other claim there was only 1 wife named Sarah Susanna LATHAM. Finally certain genealogies give him 2 sons both named John while others combine the son into one person named John HOWARD, Jr. After checking over 20 separate sources, I believe I have the correct parent with the corect children.

      C. Maddox states that he is a 2nd generation of Mayflower descent.
      -----

      Took over proprietorship of tavern in Bridgewater upon his father's death. Tavern stood directly north of Howard and River Sts. Ran the tavern until his death in 1726. Tavern owned and managed by his descendants until 1821. Torn down in 1838.
