"Of Thomas Howland, the sixth child of Henry Howland and Deborah Briggs, born June 6, 1709,
your ancestor, I can give you little information. In 1733 (December 17) he married Content HowUland,
his cousin, the daughter of Nathaniel HowUland. She had first married one Briggs and gave me much
trouble in running her down. I am conUvinced that for genealogical reasons alone widows should
never be allowed to re-marry. Thomas Howland and his wife Content had but one child, David, your
ancestor. He was born August 25, 1734. "He was a cordwainer." His intentions of marriage with
Lavinia Russell were published December 8, 1753. He died in 1778. She died October 10, 1815,
aged 80 years."
