Biography

This profile is part of the Howland Name Study.

Birth

Ebenezer Howland, son of Arthur and Elizabeth (Prence) Howland, was born on December 17, 1671, in Marshfield, Plymouth County, Plymouth Colony.[1]

Life

Nothing is known about his life except his mention in the deed of his brother Prince Howland who purchased land from his father in 1708.

Death

According to the sale of deed record between Arthur Howland, Sr. and his son, Prence Howland of Duxborough on 29 June 1708 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay, Arthur Howland said that his son, Prence Howland's brother Ebenezer Howland was deceased intestate. Therefore, he died sometime before 1708.[2]

His name was mentioned in the deed when his father Arthur Howland sold the land to Prince Howland in 1708.
