Hi,
I have a book listed on eBay “David Birge Marries Abigail Howland, their ancestors and descendants.” It traces the family back to John Howland’s landing on the Mayflower 1620. It is signed by George and Opal Birge Pixley, 1 of 200 copies printed. You may go to eBay and search on the words Birge Pixley Howland Genealogy – that will show you the listing.

melted clock weights for ammo.
Again,My great-great grandmother copied onto a needlework of George Washingtons offical inaugeral portrait. Georgiana Potter 1879-1905, I believe is the artist of the wall hanging. Last known in the George Hipke family of Madison Wis around 1950.
otherwise,if I am mistaken about the date of the work:Sara Sargent 1818-1847. Or lottie Bosworth 1844-1900.
In regards, V.J.C./ Stl.

She was a New England school teacher and married Henry Arthur Koehler a young missionary in the RLDS Church and from Kansas City, Mo but serving in Boston. If you casn help me or tell me where to look I’d lve to know more.
Sincerely,

My great grandmother was descended from Hope Howland (John’s daughter) who married Samuel Chipman. Four of her brothere were in
the Union Army in the Civil War. Her great-grandfather, a Chipman, was
in the Revolution. Her uncle was a Mormon pioneer in Utah — something
my great-great grandfather was not altogether proud of since he had
many wives.
April 29, 2011 at 11:35 pm |
hi Walter,
Actually, Hope Howland married John Chipman. They were the parents of Samuel Chipman. I would like to know more about the Chipmanstoo, out of curiousity. But that is not my line. Here is one geneology from that line, hope it helps you: http://aronoff.com/family/i0000192.htm. -DB

My 4th great grandmother was named Lucinda Chipman, born 1780-1789 timeframe either in CT or NY. She was married to a John Hawkins. I have been trying to determine if this Lucinda was the daughter of Thomas Chipman born in Groton, CT and died in New London, CT and his wife Rachel Moore of Long Island, NY. Thomas was a descendant of John Howland. Might anyone have any information on this Lucinda Chipman? Thank you.
April 29, 2011 at 11:36 pm |
All I can say is keep digging. Here is one geneology that connect the Chipmans with the Howlands. I hope this helps http://aronoff.com/family/i0000192.htm.

Question:
Was Lydia Howland(1665-1717) married to a man named Brown or married to Jeremiah Thomas (1659-1736) . I have some information that Lydia’s name was Brown when her mother, Elizabeth Tilley Howland died in Lydia’s home in 1681.
March 6, 2012 at 3:49 am |
Lydia Howland Brown:
My 8th-Great Grandfather James Brown born 1623 in Roxwell, Essex, England and died Sept 29, 1710 in Swansea, Bristol, Massachusetts.
He married Lydia Howland.
Lydia was born Feb 1633 in Plymouth, Plymouth Massachusetts.
They had 3 children:
1. James Brown II b: May 21, 1655
2. Jabez Brown
3. Dorothy Brown
I assumed Lydia was a descendant of John Howland? Daughter?

My great aunt traces my lineage to John Howland directly through Lydia’s line. The notes I have are that Lydia did marry a man with the last name Brown, and had at least one child, James, who again I am descended from. James had a son, William Brown. William had a son, Noah Brown (Sr.) Noah had a son, Noah Brown (Jr.) Noah Jr. had a daughter Polley who married a man named McCloud. and that is about 6 generations back from today to her, so roughly 1775.
February 23, 2013 at 9:29 pm |
I am a descentant of Jeremiah Thomas and Lydia Howland. Does anyone know anything about this Lydia Howland??
February 24, 2013 at 1:57 am
@David, see my previous note prior to yours.

This is the info below that I have on John and Elizabeths children. Only Desire is listed above. So it’s true my 8th Great-Grandfather James Brown’s wife Lydia Howland is the daughter of John and Elizabeth Howland.
So John and Elizabeth are my 9th Great-Grandparents!
Children
Desire Howland – b: 13 Oct 1623/1625 Barnstable, Mass.
John Howland – b: 24 Feb 1627 Plymouth, Mass.
Jabez Howland – b: 1628 Plymouth, Mass.
Hope Howland – b: 30 Aug 1629 Plymouth, Mass.
Elizabeth Howland – b: about 1632 Plymouth, Mass.
Lydia Howland – b: about 1628 Plymouth, Mass.
Ruth Howland
Hannah Howland – b: about 1635 Rocky Nook, Mass.
Joseph Howland – b: about 1637 Rocky Nook, Mass.
Isaac Howland – b: 15 Nov 1649 Plymouth, Mass.
March 6, 2012 at 8:25 pm |
Yes, you are correct. I only included Desire as she is my ancestor. -D. Brousseau
October 19, 2012 at 7:13 am |
I’ve added a few more notes above about Lydia and James Brown. My aunt did some genealogy work in the late 80′s and I have provided a brief overview above.
March 12, 2012 at 8:03 am |
I too am a descendant of John Howland thru his daughter Hope Chipman. The LDS records for John and Elizabeths childrens births vary somewhat from what you listed in the Eaton Family Tree above. Would it be possible to ask where your information originated. I do so try to make sure I have correct information for my family and would change my data if you have a church record or Plymouth documentation that gives the dates you list. Any information would be appreciated.
March 12, 2012 at 7:48 pm |
I cannot say where I got it. I might have got it here http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/Genealogy/genealogy.php or here http://www.pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org/ or from a book called Mayflower Increasing I hope this helps.
March 22, 2012 at 12:22 am |
my 7th Great Grandfather is Joseph Gorham, son of DESIRE HOWLAND and JOHN GORHAM. i am just finding out about all of this. 2 sets of my great Grandparents were on the Mayflower, John and Elizabeth Tilley Howland and John Tilley and his wife Elizabeth.
