In preparation for the festivities, we will be blogging about our resources for a different\u00a0Mayflower<\/em>\u00a0family each month. This month we’ll explore the descendants of John Howland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Howland was born in Fenstanton Huntingdonshire England to Henry and Margaret Howland. An exact date of birth has not been established. He was believed to be over 80 years old when he wrote his will dated 29 May 1672.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John married Elizabeth Tilley prior to 25 March 1624 in Plymouth. They were married before the 1623 Division of Land but after the marriage of Governor Bradford on August 14, 1623.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
