"John Howard. By Sion Earl Howard.
John Howard, late of Burlington, Vermont, who died 24th February, 1854, aged 84 years, as well as his brothers, William and Robert, was born at Providence, Rhode Island. Wm. went to Ohio and settled as a farmer among the Indians, who were then generally hostile to the whites, and then it was that he found an occasion for putting into requisition the principles and practice of his great progenitor, Roger Williams, which was to treat them kindly, and in consequence of so doing greatly ameliorated the condition of himself and other new comers into the neighborhood. He was over six feet in height, with a full commanding voice. The Indians called him their great friend, and gave him protection instead of trouble. Robert left for England, and as no letters were received he was supposed to have been lost.
Their father was William Howard of London, England, whose ship and all on board were lost, being burned by lightning in a storm at sea, as was so reported by another ship in sight. He was said to have been of large stature and an energetic, gentlemanly man of good repute. His being lost just at the commencement of the Revolutionary War, when the troubles of the country were such, no attempt was made to trace or look up his relatives, from whom, in his life-time, on return voyages, he brought many valuable presents for his family, and some of the keepsakes are still retained by its members. He was married to Patience Dyer of Providence, Rhode Island, whose father was Samuel Dyer, the son of Charles and Mary Dyer, who settled on Cabbage Neck, in the year 1712; and whose mother was Patience Williams, before her marriage, who was the great-grand-daughter of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, in 1637, and was a woman of great energy and determination of character. The house is still standing where most of the children of Samuel and Patience Dyer were born, on the place known as the Rodney Dyer farm, Cabbage Neck.
The widow of William Howard, the mother of John, William, and Robert Howard, was again married to Josiah Foster by whom there were four children, of whom three are living; and among their descendants are the families of Esek Saunders and brothers of Saundersfield, and Mrs. Patience Howard Whitin of Whitinville, Mass. Her latter days were passed in the family of her son John Howard, and she died, aged 83 years, November 14th, 1832...
Brother (John) Howard was extensively known as the landlord of one of the best and most popular hotels in Burlington for many years, and was the father of Daniel D., and John P. Howard, formerly of the Irving House, in the city of New York, and Sion E. Howard, a well known merchant in Burlington. He was born at Providence, Rhode Island, and was in early life deprived of his father, who was lost at sea. He was placed in the care of an uncle, and while a youth made several voyages at sea. He afterwards resided at Pittstown, New York, whence he removed to Schaghticoke Point, and was in mercantile business about six years. From thence he returned to Pittstown and established himself as a tavern keeper; after following which for six years longer, he removed to the town of Addison, Vermont, and became a farmer upon a beautiful farm on the bank of Lake Champlain. (It was the original Case farm, lately Crane's, and adjoining the Gen. Strong place.) In 1812 he gave up farming, exchanged his farm for a hotel in Burlington, and removed there to renew his business of hotel keeping, which he pursued constantly for the next thirty-five years..."2
3. Capt William HOWARD. Born in 1770 in Providence, Providence, RI, , US.2,8 Capt William died in Hartland Tp, Huron, OH, US on 9 Dec 1859; he was 89.8,9 Buried in Hartland Ridge, Huron, OH, US (Hartland Ridge Cem).9 Known residences of William: Providence, RI; Delaware Co, NY; Milan, OH; Perkins, Sherman, and Hartland townships, Huron Co, OH.10
Capt William first married Meribah AUSTIN, daughter of John AUSTIN. Born in 1782. Meribah died in Hartland Tp, Huron, OH, US on 18 Nov 1832; she was 50.9 Buried in Hartland Rdg, Huron, OH, US (Hartland Ridge Cem).9

14 iv. William Sidney (1814-1891)
15 v. Alvah (1816-1841)
16 vi. Almon (1816-1894)
Capt William second married Amanda SEAVERS.13 Born in 1784 in , , MA, US. Amanda died in Fairfield Tp, Huron, OH, US on 20 Dec 1872; she was 88.9 Buried in Hartland Rdg, Huron, OH, US (Hartland Ridge Cem).9
"CAPT. WILLIAM HOWARD b. at Providence R. I. 1770 m. Meribah Ostin who bore him 11 children. She d. 1832 and he m. a second time Mrs. Phelps (Amanda Seaver of Sullivan, O.) she d. 1872 ae. 89. Capt. William Howard followed the sea for a few years, then went to Delaware County, N. Y. He came to Milan, O. living in the Indian Village in 1810. He was a member of the Huron Rangers, and when the war of 1812 came he took his family with the other settlers to the Black River Block House (Now Lorain). There he left the Rangers and continued with his family to Hudson, O. and still later moved them to Portage County, where his son William Sidney was born in 1814.
Before the war, while he was living in the Indian Village, three of his children died and were buried there, their names are not on record here. Captain Howard and his family returned to Milan township about 1815, and lived on the East line near the Berlin Township border. 1816 he moved to Perkins township where he lost all his property because of sickness in the family. 1817 he moved to Sherman township, Huron County, where he lived until 1821, when he moved to Hartland township, and there he d. Dec. 9, 1859 ae. 90.11
There were 11 children and three children died young.10 That leaves 2 unaccounted for. There is one reference naming the other children as Simeon born 1800 and Samuel M. born 1808.11 A quote from Roxanna (Howard) Sinclair says 6 of the children lived to maturity.12 (I think Roxanna, a granddaughter of Capt. William Howard, is probably correct. The only reason I can see for adding Simeon and Samuel is because they lived in the same area; however further research needs to be done on this--Louise Varisco)
4. Robert HOWARD. Born in Providence, Providence, RI, , US.2 He sailed back to England and was never heard of again. He probably perished at sea.2

"In any biography of John P. Howard it would be eminently fitting to enumerate the benefactions of his noble sister, Miss Louisa H. Howard...Some years ago she enabled the managers of the Home for Destitute Children to liquidate a debt by the timely gift of $4500. She also provided, at a cost of $6000, a beautiful Gothic chapel at the entrance of Lake View Cemetery, where it is now used for burial services...she has lately endowed five free scholarships in the University by the gift of five thousand dollars...One of her latest donations is the sum of $500 to the fund for the poor of St. PaulÕs Episcopal Church. To be such a Howard is to enjoy the highest relationship accessible to man; for it is to have the grace of giving both wisely and freely."
9. John Purple HOWARD. Born on 3 Jun 1814 in Burlington, Chittenden, VT, US.3,,6 John Purple died in Malvern, , , ENG on 10 Oct 1885; he was 71.1,3,17 Buried in Burlington, Chittenden, VT, US (Lake View Cem).1 Occupation: Hotel keeper, public benefactor.6 Religion: Episcopal.6
He never married.
"...at the age of fifteen, he left Burlington to join his elder brother Daniel, who was in charge of the Exchange Hotel, which was situated where the Stock Exchange now stands in New York...In course of time the brothers left the neighborhood of Wall Street, and assumed direction of the famous Irving House on Broadway...Its celebrity was increased by their entertainment of Jenny Lind, the "Swedish nightingale,"...Whatever John P. Howard touched was sure to prosper. Property increased in value under his hand, and his cooperation was looked upon as the guarantee of success.
Mr. Howard retired from business in 1852, and removed to Long Island. ..Means and opportunity for that foreign travel which is such a splendid education in itself for those who know how to receive it were both at his command. The instincts of generations of maritine ancestors prompted him to utilize them. All, or nearly all, the habitable countries of Europe and also other lands, were visited by him...Never a speculator, he is one of the wisest investors in the United States. "Never buy what you cannot pay for, and never sell what you do now own," is one of the golden maxims to which he has rigidly adhered.
...The University of Vermont has ever been a subject of deep and loving interest to Mr. Howard...The blood of the English Howards is doubtless in his veins, though he cares not to claim consanguinity...Four hundred years have elapsed since the creation of the dukedom of Norfolk, whose incumbent is head of all the Howards...
...Mr. Howard began his benefactions to the University of Vermont in June, 1881, by the gift of $50,000 for endowing the Professorship of Natural History. The college buildings then attracted his notice. Though not altogether devoid of architectural taste, they were not worthy of what is conceded to be the finest college site in America. He therefore determined to reconstruct the entire group of buildings with a view to beauty of effect and convenience of use. This was done in a single season, at a cost of about $50,000...
...Near to the small block of red sandstone which bears the inscription "Laid by General LaFayette, June 29, 1825," is a similar one inscribed "Rebuilt by John P. Howard, 1882." Mr. Howard has also erected a bronze statue of La Fayette, in heroic size, in front of the college...cost about $25,000.
Charity as well as education has made its appeals to his bounty. "The Home for Destitute Children" in Burlington...has been befriended by benevolent individuals...none so liberally as by Mr. Howard. In addition to pecuniary aid at different times, he has bestowed upon it the really magnificent gift of the Howard Opera House...The entire block, of which it forms a part, valued at $125,000, he transferred to the manager of the Home...
...Belonging to the Protestant Episcopal Church, Mr. Howard gave to the parish of St. Paul's an elegant stone chapel, which cost over $10,000.
...Three elegant fountains in the city parks pour out his kindly feelings to the needy; the handsome entrance to Howard Park...while the improvements of the beautiful cemetery by the lake shore...Upon the public institutions of Burlington he has expended $450,000 or $500,000."6
"...He probably leaves an estate of not less than a million dollars."3
"The Howard Opera House took its name from its benefactor, John Purple Howard, who built this brick structure in 1879 to answer a long-felt need in Burlington for a modern amusement hall. For a quarter of a century it served its purpose well. In its heyday, the Opera House was recognized as one of the finest theatrical auditoriums in the country...
...The final curtain at the Howard Opera house rang down on the evening of November 30, 1904."18

The following descriptive article gives an interesting account of the school life for some of our Howard ancestors: "I first began teaching in 1835-1836 on Hartland Ridge, in this county. The school house was built of logs; from its appearance it might have been erected prior to the discovery of America. I think that a majority of the school houses on the Western Reserve in an early day were of about a uniform style of architecture, viz: 18 x 20 feet in size, benches on two sides, one in center, made of slabs with peg legs, desks behind seats, about two feet wide, set at an angle of forty five degrees made of boards sometimes smooth and sometimes rough, the fire place occupying one end of the room, two windows consisting of six lights of seven by nine glass. You see we did not need as much light as we do now; if we did we did not get it (from the inside). So much for the house. Please ask friend J. N. Barnum if he had what I call "frisky" scholars--uneasy, continually moving and sliding about on the benches. I had some of this sort which annoyed me. To stop this annoyance had one (at my own expense) a bench about six feet long, bark side up and very rough, so that in moving about the uneasy scholar would be in danger of lacerating the base of operations. You see this was a means of mild punishment, nevertheless it had the desired effect.
As I remember, I had twenty five or thirty scholars, ranging in age from eight to eighteen, boys and girls about equally divided...Some of the boys were: Sion Bills, David Miner, Almon Howard, Stephen Bills..."(Written by Noah B. Hamlin, teacher)38
Almon first married Amanda POWELL.33 Born in 1824. Amanda died in Hartland Tp, Huron Co, OH on 4 Nov 1844; she was 20.33 Buried in Hartland Rdg, Huron, OH, US (Hartland Ridge Cem).9

"During his widowhood, after the death of his first wife, Almon formed a company with Ben. Franklin McCormick, Hosea Hood, Lon Hood, and Jonathan Fuller. The Company was known as Dan Rice's Circus, situated at Dunkirk, NY. They had their own tent and sold cheap jewelry. Thankful Fanny White, his sister, took the baby, relict, which lived only 8 mo. Her name was Marie."Quote by Roxanna Howard.34

Dewitt in Texas Panhandle |
Dewitt, Ray and "Rattler" |
Ethel (Hoyt) and Dewitt Howard
They had the following children:
81 i. Mary (1915-1915)
82 ii. Maxine Jane (1918-1983)
83 iii. Arlene Wanda (1922-1997)
Dewitt spent most of his childhood on Boone Road just north of Boston Road. He went to school in a one-room school on the southwest corner of Boone and Emmons roads.
He apprenticed himself to Ad Sprague in Olmsted Falls and learned the carpenter's trade. When his home burnt in 1906 he returned and helped build a new house that stands there today. He worked with Mr. Martin (no relative) around North Royalton. They also built houses in Cleveland off of Lorain Street around 198th. He lived in Elyria with Ray (his brother) and Calista and did Carpenter work.
In the fall of 1908 Dewitt took his carpenter tools and went to Texas. He spent about a year working on a ranch down there near Glazier for a man named Mr. Blodgett. Mr. Blodgett liked him so well that he didn't want him to leave so he kept the letters his future wife, Ethelyn Hoyt, sent him, thinking he wouldn't go back if he didn't hear anything. It didn't work. He decided to return to see why he hadn't heard anything. He was given the letters when he left. When he married Ethelyn in 1914 they moved in with her parents and lived there the rest of their lives. He continued to build houses for people in Strongsville and surrounding towns.
He liked to walk in the woods, hunt fox, rabbits, squirrels, and pheasants. He trapped mink and muskrats and liked to fish. On Sunday afternoon he would take his family for a ride. He loved to read the National Geographic and hunting and fishing magazines.
He had a horse, Daisy, and a buggy. He bought a motorcycle. He had one of the first cars in the neighborhood, a 1915 Maxwell. Later he had a 1922 Studebaker, a 19?? Model T Ford (which he bought from old Mr. Strong at the top of the hill), a 1928 Pontiac (his first enclosed car), a 1936 brown Dodge, and a 1949 blue Plymouth.
