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.

My name is Lindsey Harding. I live in Clinton, CT. I’m related to John Howland from my Father’s Father side of the family.
August 7, 2016 at 1:55 pm |
Me too! My name is Melanie Hubbard. I am related to John Howland on the Hubbard side of the family (I am not married). Do you know any more about how you are related? I just wonder how closely we are related.
January 4, 2017 at 8:49 pm |
I’m also descended from John and Elizabeth Howland on my Father’s Father’s Mother’s side.
January 19, 2017 at 4:50 am
I am descended from John and Elizabeth Howland through my paternal grandmother’s (Edna Bradbury Rowan) side of the family. Desire Howland (daughter of John & Elizabeth) married John Gorham. Gorham has come down through the family as a middle name for several generations.

Family Trees are very interesting to know specially if you have a large extended family ~
February 8, 2011 at 3:01 pm |
My fathers name was Howland Koehler and his mother was Edna Wave Howland, they were born in New Bedford, Mass but I wish I knew more about my Grandmothers family. She died at the age of 92 nd she always said she was a descendent of John Howland. 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,
John D. Koehler

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
November 16, 2020 at 6:47 am |
My great grandmother also descended from Hope Howland.
April 29, 2011 at 11:07 pm |
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.

I’ve just recently started my family history journey. From stories told by my grandfather, we are descendants from John Howland. I’ve gotten as far as my 3 times great grandparents were Francis and Elizabeth Howland from New York. Got a little frustrated, so I had to take a break. I’m from Greenfield Ohio. Francis and Elizabeth son George is my grandpas grandfather and he and his siblings were born in Illinois but George settled in Greenfield. I love this exciting journey I’ve started!!

It seems from what I can find out that John Howland is my 11th Great Grandfather. The family line pasted below is what information I have. Can anyone tell me if it seems accurate as I am totally amazed at the possibility.

Thank you so much
Gwen Sharp
January 19, 2014 at 12:38 pm |
Hi Gwen.
I am not familiar with that branch so I cannot tell you if it is accurate or not, but one thing that stands out is that you have Daniel McGowen as the son of Christopher Dickinson, and I think it is odd to have father and son with different last names.
January 29, 2015 at 8:14 pm |
I hate to burst your bubble but my John Dickinson and Elizabeth Howland had no son named Charles Dickinson
Charles was from Rhode Island and John and Elizabeth were NOT in Rhode Island they went from Massachusetts to Long Island, NY and their children all married well most in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY. Children were
Elizabeth, Joseph, Mercy, Jabez, Lydia, Samuel, Merhitabel, Hannah and James.
I am a direct descendant of John and Elizabeth . John Dickinson was also married Mary Taylor in 1638 in Barnstable she was born in 1606 in Ely, Cambridge, England and d 1646 in Salisbury Essex co, Ma they had 3 children Mary b 1640 and she married John Rowe,
James b 1641
John b 1642 in Salisbury Ma and d 1683
John Dickinson was born1602 in Ely Cambridge, England to William Dickinson b 1570 in Portsmouth, England and d 1629 in Ely, England he married Sarah Stacy in 1594 in Ely she b 1570 in Ely and d 1629 in Ely.
William comes from Thomas, Richard, William, John, William, Hugh, Thomas, Richard, and back more to Rogenwald b 820. Uplands of Norway he d 910 in Rosslyn Castle in the Orkneys.
I have been doing my genealogy for 70 yrs now and have plenty of information on all of my families.
I didn’t have a computer back then but did a lot writing to England, Norway, Scotland, Ireland and always received answers with no charge but I always sent them money for the postage.
I had to do a paper when I was 14 in high school and that got me started. I still have plastic containers full of information and more books etc. And I was able to question all of the old timers way back then even when we would go to my Mum’s home town in New Brunswick.

If you are a Sturgis, you may also be descended from Rev. John Lothrop. I assume you know about the Sturgis Library: http://www.sturgislibrary.org/
January 6, 2015 at 11:02 pm |
I am descended from FOUR of Desire Howland’s children and also from Hope Howland, another daughter of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. They are my 9th great-grandparents. Nice to meet you, cousin!
January 12, 2015 at 5:35 am |
I am descended from Hope Howland, Chipman , daughter of John and Elizabeth Tilley as well. I just recently researched this and found it very exciting. Everyone always jokes about their family coming over on the Mayflower and I still can’t hardly believe mine did! Hi other cousins!
January 17, 2015 at 9:17 pm |

I’m a descendant of Jabez Gorham, son of Desire and John. I think I’ve read that there are about 35 million of us who have descended from those who traveled on the Mayflower. Anyone have any other information on this number? Ray

Yes, you are right. 12% of the US population. http://historynewsnetwork.org/blog/7360

I am directly connected to a number of Mayflower families. The most prolific is Richard Warren my 9th great grandfather. All of Richard Warren’s children survived to adulthood, married, and had large families: making Richard Warren one of the most common Mayflower passengers to be descended from.
John Howland, “Mayflower” Passenger is my 11th great grandfather.
He arrived on the Mayflower as a servant to the Carver family. The arduous voyage very nearly ended his life as he was thrown overboard, but managed to grab a topsail and was hauled back aboard safely. The Carver family with whom John lived, survived the terrible sickness of the first winter, during which many Pilgrims died. But the following spring, on an unusually hot day in April, Governor Carver, according to William Bradford, came out of his cornfield feeling ill. He passed into a coma and died. His wife, Kathrine, died soon after her husband. The Carvers had no children. For this reason, Howland is thought to have inherited their estate. Howland married Elizabeth Tilley, by then a young lady of seventeen and the daughter of John Tilley and his wife Joan (Hurst) Rogers. Her parents had died the first winter and she had become the foster daughter of Governor Carver and his wife who were childless. By then he had prospered enough to also bring his brothers Arthur and Henry to the colony as well, solidly establishing the Howland family in the New World. John and his wife Elizabeth had ten children, all of whom lived and had descendants

I am descended from John Howland on my mother’s side and his brother Henry on my father’s side. Henry and Arthur Howland were Quakers, whom the Pilgrim detested. John Howland was not really one of the Pligrims but he took up their faith since he was among them and married one.

If you go to the Howland Society website you will see that, for a $25 fee, you can submit your line to them and they will tell you how much has already been proved. They had serveral generation of my line document. Which means that I just have to prove then remaining 7 or 8 generation if I want to join their society.

Does anyone know where the Howland family tree intersect with the Woodward family tree. My brother was named for his uncle Frederick Howland Woodward. I believe the Woodwards were from the massachusetts area.

Wow, this information has been the missing link on my maternal side. To be able to trace my history back to the Mayflower is simply amazing. I am a decedent of John and Elizabeth’s daughter Hannah. A special thanks to my cousin Janene for not giving up in her search. I know that this information has been a long time coming.
