Leigh Anne, I'm having trouble finding the reference to Jiseph being a Quaker. You cite page 5, but I find nothing on that page about Joseph being a Quaker.
Hello PM's: Just a note of religious interest: There was evidence of Lt. John Howland Jr.'s leanings towards the Quakers; he was opposed to the intolerant party of which Geo. Barlow of Sandwich was the leading man. Howland's wife joined the church 22 Nov 1691. Howland and two other aged men, Joseph Lothrop and James Lewis, joined the church on the 18 Jun 1699.
