      "John Howe resided first perhaps at Watertown, and afterwards at Sudbury, where he was in 1639. He was admitted freeman in 1640. In 1642 he was selectman in Sudbury and in 1655 was appointed by the pastor and selectmen to see to the restraining of youth on the Lord's day. According to tradition, he was the first white inhabitant who settled on the new grant. He came to Marlboro about 1657 and built him a cabin a little to the east of the Indian Planting Field, where his descendants lived for many generations. His place was situated some 100 rods from Spring Hill Meeting House, a little to the east of the present road from Spring Hill to Feltonville-recently occupied by the late Edward Rice. His proximity to the Indian Plantation brought him in direct contact with the natives; but by his kindness, he gained the confidence and good will of his savage neighbors, who accordingly, not only respected his rights, but in many cases made him umpire in cases of difficulties among themselves. In a case where a pumpkin vine sprang up within the premises of one Indian, and the fruit ripened upon the premises of another, the dispute which arose between them as to the ownership of the pumpkin was referred to him; and inspired with the wisdom of a second Solomon, he called for aknife, and severed the fruit, giving a moiety to each. This struck the parties as the perfection of justice and fixed the impartiality of the judge on an immutable basis. Nor was a sense of his justice and impartiality confided in by the Indians alone. When in 1662 Thomas Danforth, Esq, made a demand upon the Colony for further compensation for his services, the Court ordered that he shall have granted him so much land as old Goodman Rice and Goodman Howe of Marlborough, shall judge to be worth ten pounds; and they were empowered to bound the same to him.
     
      John Howe opened the first public house in the place. About 1670 we find his petition for a renewal of his license and he speaks as though he had been some time engaged in the business.
     
      The descendants of John Howe were very numerous; though a portion of the Howes of Marlboro, were of another family. John Howe's will, proved 1689, mentions wife Mary, sons Samuel, Isaac, Josiah, Thomas and Eleazer and dau. Sarah Ward, Mary Wetherby and John Howe, Jr. a son of son John deceased. His property was inventoried at 511 lbs. He gave Thomas the horse he troops on."
