Ephraim Howland


Ephraim Howland 9 (John Richmond Howland 8, Hoziel Howland 7, Mary Howland 6, Seth Richmond 5, Joseph 4, Joseph 3, John 2, John 1)

Taken from Ancestry of Jennie Howland (adapted for her uncle Ephraim Howland):

Ephraim Howland’s immigrant ancestor was Arthur Howland, brother of the Mayflower passenger John Howland. Arthur Howland, Jr., son of the immigrant Arthur Howland, married Elizabeth Prence, daughter of Governor Thomas and Mary (Collier) Prence, to the dismay of the Governor. Before their marriage, Arthur Howland, Jr., appeared in court (with Governor Prence as the judge!) and was ordered to cease and desist his courtship of Elizabeth Prence against the wishes of her parents. It was a religious thing – the Howlands were Quakers. The Howlands were among those who were fined for “frequently absenting themselves from public worship of God.”

Governor Prence, who came to America in 1621 in the ship “Fortune,” was first married to Patience Brewster, daughter of Mayflower passenger William Brewster.

One Marriage - Two Sides of The Family Tree (original post for Jennie Howland; now adapted for her uncle, Ephraim Howland).

Ephraim Howland's granddaughter, Harriet Howland, married William Allen MacDonald of Roscommon County, Michigan. William Allen MacDonald was already in my family tree. Mr. MacDonald's aunt, Harriet MacDonald, was the first wife of A. Edward Cameron, who was my grandmother's uncle.
