    1. Re: [MFLR] Silver Books -- HOWLAND I'm kinda new to genealogy
    2. Hello. I am new to genealogy, and got a lot of information given to me through my mother, including some books. I am of "Theall/Theale" direct decent with a lot of branches and distant cousin names. I am willing to help, as eventually I will be looking for help from you all. I have a book called " MAYFLOWER FAMILIES through Five Generations" VOLUME ONE with these three names on bottom "Francis Eaton, Samuel Fuller, William White" - but there a lots of names in here. Including some Howland. Also, I have another book called " "PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS" by Charles Henry Pope. In this book is some information that I can type out for you. I will give you a sample of some of what this says: ................................. "John came in the Mayflower, as servant (or steward) of Mr. John Carver. signed the Compact; took an active part in the early explorations. Settled at Plymouth. Town office; a partner in the Trading Company of the Colony; Asst. or deputy almost contunually. Prominent in the church, so that he "assisted in the imposition of hands" upon Rev. John Cotton, Jr. when he was ordained pastor 30 (6) 1669. He married Elizabeth, dau. of John Tillie. (B.) Ch. John, b. Feb 24, 1696 (S.) Desire (also named at the division of cattle in 1627; she m. John Gorum,) Hope, b. about 1630 (Gr.st); m. John Chipman), Deborah (m. 04 Jan. 1648, John Smith, Jr. of Plym.), Elizabeth (m. 13 Sept 1649 Ephraim Hicks), Ruth (m. 17 Nov. 1664, Thomas Cushman), Others named in will." I may not be very fast in responding, and I have never read these books, but we have a family connection to Mayflower, but must be missing some generations. (via Samuel Fuller, Eaton and Wheaton possibly). Hope this helps a bit
