Disputed Origins
While there is no direct evidence that Edward Howe had a son Daniel, Daniel had a brother in Lynn in 1643[1] and in 1653 Captain Daniel Howe called Jeremiah Howe his brother.[2] Ephraim and Jeremiah Howe of Lynn in 1638, and later of Southampton and New Haven, were sons of Edward Howe of Lynn. Two sons of Edward named sons Daniel.
Biography[3]
Daniel Howe immigrated to New England between 1621 and 1640 and later departed for England
Daniel Howe was born by about 1608, based on his estimated marriage date. He was the son of Edward Howe of Lynn.
He married by about 1633, although the name of his wife is unknown. They had children:
- William who was born about 1633.
- A daughter who was born about 1635; she was living on October 7, 1651 when she seems to be "neither a juvenile nor an adult," so says Robert Charles Anderson in Great Migration Begins, p. 1012.
Daniel Howe migrated to New England in 1633, residing first at Lynn where he became a freeman on May 14, 1634. He moved to Southampton on Long Island by 1639, New Haven by 1646, Easthampton by 1649, and back to New Haven by 1650. He was a soldier and mariner.
Daniel served in the Pequot War. In 1637 he attempted unsuccessfully to persuade a Narragansett to serve as guide. On 27 May Roger Williams reported Lieut. Howe's opinion of the danger remaining at the end of the Pequot War. He was admitted to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638.
He was the driving force behind the settlement of Southampton on Long Island, and of Easthampton. He was in New Haven on two occasions in 1646, but he does not seem to have lived there.
On 7 Oct 1651, his daughter was called before the New Haven Court and told that she is complained of for a prophane swearer. Her mother blamed it on Goodwife Wickams, who schooled her daughter. There is no further record of this daughter.
He also had a son, William, b about 1633 and living in 1653 according to Easthampton town records.
Daniel Howe died, probably in England, after 1656.

I see that Daniel Howe has a sketch in Anderson's Great Migration Begins and he migrated by 1633. He is therefore eligible to be in the Puritan Great Migration Project and since he returned permanently to England, he is eligible for the sub-project, Puritan Great Migration Beyond New England. I'll add the project box and sticker. Someone else will be along to add PGM as profile manager.
However, please continue to manage this profile as you have done. Thanks.
