Notes:

?John Howland is best remembered for having fallen off the "Mayflower" during a mighty storm, as recorded by William Bradford: "In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. An in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man call John Howland, coming upon some occasions above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth."
The ancestry of John Howland is discussed in John Howland of the
Mayflower through Desire Howland for Five Generations", Vol. 1, by
Elizabeth Pearson White, available from Picton Press of Rockport, Maine,
or through the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. John Howland is
the son of Henry Howland and Margaret (----) of Fenstanton, Huntingdon,
England. Henry died on 17 May 1635 in Fenstranton, and Margaret was
buried on 31 July 1629. Besides son John, who came on the Mayflower, they
also had Humphrey, Arthur, Henry, George, and Margaret. Henry came to
Plymouth sometime before 1633, and Arthur came sometime before 1640. For
information on Arthur Howland, see NGSQ 71:84+.
