This is an e-mail to answer Andrew, but I thought I would send it to all of you in case there are any Howlands out there--to let you know what we are up to and about the Howland Quarterly. Andrew, it is a publication published by the Pilgrim John Howland Society that comes out four times per year. It gives all the news of the Howland Society, what members are up to, guest writers etc. We are a very active group. We meet every Aug. in Plymouth (except every third year it is in early Sept. to coincide with the meeting of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.) We have over 1400 members. At least 120 will come to Plymouth. They live in 48 states, Canada, Nova Scotia, Spain, etc. This year's meeting will be special as a group of "Cuban Howland's" will be joining us. (A Howland descendant moved to Cuba in 1818 and now several are back in America!!) We sponsor an archeaological dig at Rocky Nook, home of John & ELizabeth from 1638-1672/3 when John died. We own Howland House in Plymouth, owned by son Jabez. We are building a shallop at Plimoth Plantation to sail up the Kennebec River next summer just as John did to set up a trading post near what is now Augusta. Every few years we sponsor a trip to Europe to see pilgrim sights. So, if you are a Howland, get your proofs together and join us! Lots of activities. Thanks for asking!
