DIED: 23 or 24 February 1672/3, Rocky Nook, Kingston, MA. (thePlymouth Colony Court Records say he died on 23 February, the PlymouthChurch Records say he died 24 February).
MARRIED: Elizabeth Tilley, daughter of John and Joan (Hurst)(Rogers)Tilley of the Mayflower, about 1624.
Colonial Families of the United States of America: Volume 6page 225
JOHN HOWLAND, b. 1592; d. 22d February, 1672, the thirteenth Signer ofthe Mayflower compact made at Cape Cod, 11th November (Old Style), 1620;he came from Essex, England; Queen Elizabeth granted the HOWLANDS theirCoat [p.225] Armor in 1584, the family beginning with Bishop HOWLAND, whoperformed the obsequies for Mary, Queen of Scots; he was the lastsurviving passenger who d. in Plymouth; took part in the “FirstEncounter,” Great Meadow Creek, December, 1620; Governor's Assistant,1633-1635, in command of the Kennebec Trading Post, 1634; Deputy toGeneral Court, 1641; m. 1623, Elizabeth TILLEY, b. circa 1609, inHolland, d. 12th December, 1687, in Swanzey, age eighty, dau. of JohnTILLEY, one of the Mayflower Pilgrims. His house, built soon after thesettlement of the colony at Plymouth, still survives the property of theSociety of John HOWLAND Descendants and enjoys the distinction of beingthe sole remaining habitation which echoed to the tread of the PilgrimFathers.
* The traditional date that has been ascribed to John Howland's birth is"about 1592", and this has never really been questioned. However, abirth about 1599 is clearly a better estimate for the following reasons:
John Howland is called a "manservant" to John Carver in WilliamBradford's passenger list. Servants were contracted out until the age of25. Thus, Howland must have been under 25 in 1620, meaning he had tohave been born after 1595. Since Howland signed the Mayflower Compact,he must have been born sometime before 1600 to have been legally oldenough to sign.
John Howland's wife was born in 1607, and it is most unlikely that he, atthe age of 32, married a 17 year old girl as his first wife. Most menmarried about age 25, and since his marriage occurred about 1624, thiswould place his likely birth at 1599.
John Howland's last child was born in 1649. If the 1592 date wereaccepted, he would have fathered a child at the age of 57, a mostunlikely circumstance.
William Bradford writes in that John Howland was a "lusty young man" in1620. It is unlikely that Bradford would call a 28-year old a "youngman". The only other person Bradford called a "young man" in 1620 wasJohn Alden, who was born in 1599.

COMMENTS: In his list of passengers on the Mayflower Bradford tells usthat John Howland was one of the "manservants" of JOHN CARVER [Bradford441]. During a particularly bad storm on the crossing John Howland(characterized by Bradford as "a lusty young man") went above deck andwas swept overboard, but it pleased God that he caught hold of thetopsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he heldhis hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled upby the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook andother means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he wassomething ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became aprofitable member both in church & commonwealth [Bradford 59].
In his 1651 accounting on the family of John Carver, Bradford reportedthat "[h]is servant John Howland married the daughter of John Tilley,Elizabeth, and they are both now living, and their eldest daughter hathfour children; and their second daughter one, all living, and other oftheir children marriageable" [Bradford 444].
In an undated deposition we learn that in April 1634 John Hocking cameto Kennebec and challenged the rights of the Plymouth men to theirexclusive trade in that place. Mr. John Howland, in charge of the tradingpost, went out in their bark with several other men and warned Hockingoff, but was taunted and defied. Howland "bid three of his men go cut hiscable [Hocking's anchor]," but the flow of the stream was too strong andHowland called them back and added Moses Talbot to the crew. Hocking,seeing that their intent was to cut the cable, "presently put his peicealmost to Moyses Talbott's head, which Mr. Howland seeing called to himdesiring him not to shoot his man but take himself for his mark sayinghis men did but that which he commanded them and therefore desired himnot to hurt any of them, if any wrong was done it was himself that did itand therefore called again to him to take him for his mark saying hestood very fair, but Hocking would not hear nor look towards our bark,but presently shooteth Moyses in the head, and presently took up hispistol in his hand but the Lord stayed him from doing any further hurt bya shot from our bark himself was presently struck dead being shot nearthe same place in the head where he had murderously shot Moyses" [MD2:10-11].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: Because of the multitude of descendants of JohnHowland, through all ten of his children, the publication of the firstfive generations of descent from John Howland will occupy many volumes.Elizabeth Pearson White has prepared the first two volumes in thisseries: John Howland of the Mayflower: Volume 1, The First FiveGenerations, Documented Descendants Through his first child DesireHowland and her husband Captain John Gorham (Camden, Maine, 1990) andJohn Howland of the Mayflower: Volume 2, The First Five Generations,Documented Descendants Through his second child John Howland and his wifeMary Lee (Camden, Maine, 1993).
In her first volume White argued that John Howland lived for severalyears in Maine, and that three of his children were born there. Robert S.Wakefield has gathered the evidence that this could not have been thecase [MD 42:15-16)
John Howland is an ancestor to President George Bush, and to First LadyEdith (Carrow) Roosevelt (Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt). Presidents RichardNixon and Gerald Ford are descendants of John Howland's brother Henry.Winston Churchill is descended from John Howland's brother Arthur.
