"Zoeth or Zoar Howland (Henry) was killed by Indians in King Philip's War at Pocaset (in
Tiverton, now in Rhode Island) on 31 March 1676. He was said to be "of Dartmouth" when he
married, in the tenth month [December] 1656, to Abigail [-----]. His wife died before 30
January 1707/08 (according to her second husband's will). Abigail married second to
Richard Kirby (also his second marriage) "at the house of Robert Malins in Newport," Rhode
Island, on 9m [November] 1678. Both spouses were "of Dartmouth." Kirby died before 4 April
1720, when his will was probated."

"Richard Kirby (Richard), born probably before 1638, since he should have been of age in 1658,
when he refused to take the oath of fidelity... Richard Kirby, Jr., was married, Oct. 9, 1665,
to Patience, daughter of William Gifford of Sandwich, Mass. He afterward removed to Dartmouth,
Mass. His wife Patience died some time after May 20, 1674, and he married (2), Dec. 2, 1678,
Abigail, widow of Zoeth Howland, son of Henry Howland of Duxbury, who had been killed by the
Indians at Pocasset, March 26, 1676, leaving nine children. There is no record of any child by
this second marriage; yet, inasmuch as he mentions in his will " my granddaughter Remember Potter,"
it may be that he had one child, a daughter, by his second wife, who married a Potter. His will is
dated Jan. 30, 1707-8, and was probated April 4, 1720. It is assumed, therefore, that he died in
1720. Since his wife Abigail is not mentioned in his will, it is probable that she died before 1708."

"It may have been the charms of Abigail, or her estate, - it surely could not
have been her "many male children" - which caused Richard Kirby to marry
the widow December 2,1678. He was the son of the Richard Kirby..."
"Nathaniel Howland was the first child of Zoeth and Abigail Howland and was
born in Duxbury August 5, 1657, and died in Dartmouth March 3, 1724. He married
1684 Rose Allen, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Allen."
"Benjamin Howland, the second son of Zoeth and Abigail Howland, was born in Duxbury
March 8, 1659, and died in Dartmouth February 12, 1727. He married Judith Sampson,
April 23, 1684. He owned and lived on the Round Hills Farm at the end of Smith's Neck..."
