General Notes: Husband - Joseph Howard

---

He was one of the owners of a saw-mill in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and in 1698, when the town was about to build a cart-bridge over the river, agreed to bear part of the expense of its erection over and above what the rest of the town did because the mill-pond made the bridge a necessity. He was a representative from Bridgewater, county of Plymouth, to the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, as the provincial law-making body was then known, for the years 1708-10. He was reared in the home of his uncle, Thomas Hayward.
