The writers of the book mention the affiants as "two honest men." The troubles with the Indians continued after the resettlement of Marlborough at the close of the King Philip's War, and the inhabitants were kept in continual alarm by their savage foes. He took an active part in the wars, and was in a severe action at Lancaster 31 July 1704.
"During the whole of this war." says Mr. Hudson in his History of Marlborough. "Capt. Thomas Howe acted a conspicuous part, he not only commanded the garrisons and scouts through the town, lut led the troops to every place of danger which presented itself." He died 16 Feb. 1733, and was buried in Spring Hill cemetery in Marlborough. His wife, Sarah Hosmer, is buried beside him.

Introduction to the architecture of Marlborough
http://historicmarlborough.org/Architecture.html
Military/Political

During the continuing conflicts between colonists and Indians subsequent to King Philip's War, Marlborough was still at risk of attack because of its remote location.  In Queen Anne's War of 1704-1713 the inhabitants were again assigned to garrison houses (to which they could flee in the event of an attack), and several residents of Marlborough were actually captured or killed.  Some of the most illustrious military leaders in this war came from Marlborough, of which the best-known was Capt. Thomas Howe, who led a force to Sterling.

Large numbers of men from Marlborough participated in the French and Indian Wars from 1722 to 1763.  They were involved in all the major campaigns, including the 1741 Spanish West Indies expedition to Cuba, the 1745 capture of Louisburg on Cape Breton, and the 1746 campaign to Charlestown, New Hampshire.  In 1757 Marlborough had two large companies of militia and one alarm company, and two militia companies fought at the fall of Fort William Henry under local leaders Capt. Samuel Howe and Lt. Stephen Maynard.

--------------------

Thomas Howe, son of John Howe, was a prominent citizen in town, filled the principal town offices, represented the town in the General Court in 1700. He rose to the rank of Colonel in the militia, and was one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace. He, took an active part in the early Indian wars, and was in a severe action at Lancaster. He kept, a public house in Marlborough in 1696 and as his Bond shows the spirit of the times.  Mr. Hudson's book states "Captain Howe acted as a conspicuous part, he not only commanded the Garrisons and the scouts of the town, but led the troops to every place of danger which represented itself".  He is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery.
