The Howland Connection

A certain amount was made, in the family yore, of the suggestion that once Arthur married a Howland the resulting branch of the family would be descended from both ‘companions of the Conqueror’ and passengers on the Mayflower. Well, conquerer-companions: yes, but the Mayflower story is nuanced. Katherine can trace her lineage back to Henry, the younger brother of John Howland. John was a passenger on the Mayflower and there’s a good story from the voyage. (See below.) Henry followed him on the Puritan’s Great Migration.
