Caroline Davis b.1811 d. 4 nov 1846 Sackett's Harbor Cem. (dau of Jonathan Davis and Caroline Clark) They had a son named Clark Davis Howland, b. 4 Dec 1834 (in Jefferson County per 1845 NY census) Samuel died in Kane County Illinois in 1865. Fairly wealthy.. Estate was about $10,000. The 1840 federal census for the town of Pitcairn NY shows a household w. Saml. "Holland" (age between 20 and 30), an adult woman (20 - 30), a boy (5-10) and a girl ( < 5) This matches the given birthdates of Samuel Howland 1810, his wife Caroline (Davis) 1811, his son Clark Davis Howland b. 1834 and Clark's sister Mary Jane b. 1839.... Other helpful information: Hannah Howland Maxam born in 1806 died in Twinsburgh, OH in 1871. I believe she is Samuel's sister for several reasons. Samuel lived there during the 1850 census (after his wife died in 1846) and Hannah's son Lewis married Samuel's daughter Mary Jane in Kane County IL prior to moving with Samuel's son Clark out to Nebraska. The chronicle of one of Hannah's sons states that Hannah's father (who would presumedly be Samuel's father) was of Welsh ancestry and died at the camp at Greenbush, in NY during the War of 1812. No name given. Many Howlands from NY served in the War of 1812...
