Biography
Nathan Howe Sr has English ancestors.
He was an officer in the French and Indian war, and aided in building Fort William Henry. In 1776 he was a Lieut. in Col. Job Gushing's Regt., and commanded a company engaged in throwing up works on Dorchester Heights during the night; from an illness taken there, he never recovered. The Mass., Rev. records show that Nathan How served as captain in Col. Whitney's Regt. on a list dated 1776. Also that in the French and Indian war, he served as ensign in Capt. John Fay's company, Col. Josiah Brown's Regt.[1]
