"HENRY HOWLAND - A brother of 1620 Mayflower passenger, John Howland, Henry Howland was in Plymouth at least as early as 25 March 1633, when his name appears on the tax list, and he was also on the original freeman list. On 8 April 1633, Walter Harris had his indenture transferred to Henry Howland. On 5 January 1635/36 Henry became the constable of Duxbury. He was frequently a member of trial and grand juries. On 3 June 1657, he, John Tompson, Morris Truant, Ralph Allen, and Thomas Greenfield refused to serve on the grand jury. On 2 March 1657/58, the same day his brother Arthur was fined for permitting a Quaker meeting in his house and for resisting the constable of Marshfield in the execution of his office, Henry Howland was fined ten shillings for entertaining a meeting in his house contrary to court orders. On 7 June 1659 the court, referring to an order disenfranching Quakers and other offenders, gave notice to four men to appear in court the following August, and on 6 October 1659 Howland had his freeman status taken away from him. On 1 May 1660 Henry Howland was charged with entertaining another man's wife in his house after her husband had complained to him, and for permitting a Quaker meeting in his house and entertaining a foreign Quaker. He stiffly denied the first charge, and the court noted that the evidence 'did not appeer to make it out,' but he was convicted on the Quaker charges. On the 2nd of March 1657/58 he was fined for entertaining a meeting of Quakers in his home. On the 6th of Oct 1659 he and his brother-in-law, William Newland, were were sentenced "to bee defranchised of their freedom of this corpation". (Family Group of Henry Howland)
