Notes:

Note:
Edward came to America in 1635 at the age of 60. Edward Howe with his wife and five children embarked on the "Truelove" for New England on the19th of September, 1635. The names as they appeared on the list are as follows: Edward How, husbandman, aged 60, Elizabeth, aged 56, Jeremie,aged 21, Sara, aged 12, Ephraim, aged 9, Isaac, aged 7, William, aged 6.
On reaching this country, they settled in what is now known as Lynn,Mass. He was admitted freeman December 8, 1636. He was a man of much ability, of good report, and a highly respected citizen. He was chosen deputy to the General Court in 1638, and in the same year, his name appeared on the list of land-owners in Lynn, as having 210 acres. He died very suddenly in April 1639, and his widow was appointed by the General Court to administer his estate on May 22, 1639.
Of Edwards ancestry we have little information. It has been a longstanding tradition in the family that he came from London, England, and there seems to be strong support in the foundation of this tradition.There may have been other Howes in Lynn prior to 1635 but little is known of them. Much of the information concerning the Howe families of Lynn are surrounded in vague traditions and suppositions, and it is largely owing to the fact that the records of Lynn, for the first sixty years are missing.

Immigratn:
According to Hotten's List of the Early Emigrants, Edward Howe embarked on the "Truelove" for New England on the 19th of Sept. 1635. The names and ages as they appear on the list are "Edward How, husbandman, aged 60; Elizabeth, aged 50; Jeremie, aged 21; Sara, aged 12; Ephraim, aged 9; Isaac, aged 7; Wm., aged 6.

Edward Howe was a farmer, and was admitted a freeman in 1636. He was a representative in seven sessions of the General Court, and a member of the Quarterly Court in 1637. He died suddenly in April, 1639. After the court was ended at Boston, having dined in his usual health, he went to the river side, to pass over to Charlestown, and while waiting for the ferry boat, fell dead on shore. He is said to have been "a Godly man." (History of Lynn)
