White >Burlington, VT >whiteknight@adelphia.net - - - - - - - - - David, I have a Dr. Adonijah Howe living in Jaffrey NH abt 1777-1832. In the book Howe Genealogies, the volume containing the genealogy of John Howe of Sudbury, by Daniel Wait Howe, 1929, page 206 it states: Dr. Adonijah Howe (Abner, Abraham, Josiah, Josiah, John), born in Brookfield Mass 24 July 1758; married 4 Nov 1779 Sarah RIPLEY, daughter of Noah and Lydia (Kent) Ripley of Barre Mass born abt 1760; died 13 Dec 1800, aged 40 years. He married second 8 Aug 1802 Persis WOOD, daughter of Ephriam and Mary (Heald) Wood of Concord Mass, born 26 Oct 1762. When he was 19 he moved to Jaffrey N.H. where later he was a practicing physician, and died 31 July 1832. His widow died 5 Sept 1834 aged 71 years. Children born in Jaffrey: Abner, b. 14 Oct 1780 Lydia, b. 7 Mar 1783; m. Solomon Proctor of Cavendish VT. Children were Adonijah, James, and Charles. Adonijah, b. 21 June 1784. Luke, b. 28 Mar 1787. Sally, b. 8 Jul 1789, d. 26 Jan 1790. Sally b. 15 Mar 1791, d. in Pepperell Mass 29 March 1840 unmarried. Lucretia, b. 13 Feb 1794; d. 1 Jan 1796. James, b. 13 Aug 1796.
