I’m also descended from John Howland’s brother. Henry Howland through his son, Zoeth Howland and his wife Abigail Booth. My research shows that I am either descended from or related somehow to about 2/3rds of the Mayflower passengers. Tisquatum (Squanto) and Hobomock are names still respectfully used as place names in the area. The correct pronunciation of the name Hobomock is Hob-ba-mock not Hoe-bow-mock as I heard an outstater once say.
21twelve, funny story.
I descend from Henry Howland’s daughter, Abigail. In the late 1600’s, my Massachusetts descendants became Quakers and moved to Pennsylvannia, but almost all my other ancestors are from Virginia. Going back 5 generation when there are 32 GGgrandparents, 28 are from Virginia, 2 from Germany, and 2 from Pennsylvannia (one of which was a descendant of Henry Howland). The earliest ancestor I can prove arrived in Jamestown in 1619, there are earlier ones but I doubt if they could be proven to the satisfaction of the Jamestown Society.
