EDWARD HOWE
ORIGIN: Boxted, Essex
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Watertown
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to Watertown church prior to 14 May 1634 implied by freemanship. In 1639 Henry Jackson of Watertown gave Edward Howe of Watertown "one of the Elders of the Church there" a power of attorney to receive all Jackson's debts [ Lechford 192].
FREEMAN: 14 May 1634 [ MBCR 1:369].
EDUCATION: He signed his will and had ?1 worth of books in his inventory.
OFFICES: Watertown deputy to General Court, 2 September 1635, 8 September 1636, 7 December 1636, 22 May 1639, 8 September 1642, 10 May 1643 [ MBCR 1:156, 178, 185, 256, 2:22, 33].
Watertown selectman, 10 October 1636, 10 December 1638, 29 December 1640, 29 November 1641, 21 November 1642 [ WaTR 1:2, 5, 6, 7, 8]; fenceviewer, 30 May 1643 [ WaTR 1:9].
ESTATE: Granted seventy acres in Great Dividend, 25 July 1636 [ WaBOP 5]; granted twenty-four acres in Beaverbrook Plowlands, 28 February 1636/7 [WaBOP 7]; granted twenty-four acres in Remote Meadows, 26 June 1637 [WaBOP 8]; granted nine acres in Town Plot, 9 April 1638 [ WaBOP 11].
In addition to the grants listed above, he had several others, as indicated in the Inventory of Grants [ WaBOP 70]; he also acquired several other parcels by purchase [ WaBOP 115]. His landholdings as shown in the Composite Inventory were among the largest in Watertown [WaBOP 17], and, because his is one of the first entries in that inventory, there is much information about the way in which he purchased his additional land. The preparer of this inventory soon tired of giving so much detail.
