Father*Dr. Abiel Howard1 b. 1704
Mother*Silence Washburn1
Birth*18 April 1742Jane Howard was born on 18 April 1742 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,2 
Marriage*2 June 1763She married first Ebenezer Ames, son of Joseph Ames and Susanna Littlefield, on 2 June 1763 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3,4,2 
(Wife) Death1 March 1779Jane became a widow when Lieutenant Ebenezer Ames "drowned himself" on 1 March 1779.1,5 
Marriage*10 August 1786She married, second, widower Captain Thomas Hooper, son of William Hooper and Lois Thomas, probably shortly on 10 August 1786 when their Intention of Marriage was recorded in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress). The Ames source reported that the marriage actually took place on 10 Aug 1786 in Middleborough. Nahum Mitchell, in his Bridgewater History, appears to have confused Jane (Howard) Ames, wife of Ebenezer Ames of Bridgewater and her aunt, Sarah (Howard) Ames, wife of Ebenezer Ames of Bridgewater and Easton when, he named Sarah as the "widow" who married Thomas Hooper in 1786. Mitchell, in the Howard section, stated that Jane Howard born in 1742, the daughter of Dr. Abiel Howard and his wife Silence Washburn, married Ebenezer Ames and, in the Ames section, stated that Thomas Hooper married the widow of Ebenezer Ames, Sarah Howard born in 1707, the daughter of Major Jonathan Howard and his wife Sarah Dean. Just to make it more confusing, Sarah's husband Ebenezer Ames was the uncle of Jane's husband Ebenezer Ames, corresponding beautifully with the fact that Sarah was Jane's aunt. In the Howard section of his book, only Sarah's marriage to the uncle Ebenezer Ames of Bridgewater and Easton was identified for Sarah. For Jane, in the Howard section, only her marriage to Ebenezer Ames, the nephew, was mentioned. The Hooper section did not include any mention of Thomas Hooper at all. Further research showed that only the marriage between Captain Thomas Hooper and widow Jane Ames was recorded in Bridgewater and that Sarah (Howard) Ames and her husband, the uncle Ebenezer Ames, had moved from Bridgewater to Easton, Bristol County before the birth of their last child in 1750. Sarah Ames, wife of Ebenezer Ames of Easton, died there in 1763 and didn't marry Thomas Hooper in 1786.6,7,8,9,10,11,2 
(Wife) Death2 May 1789Jane became a widow again when Captain Thomas Hooper died on 2 May 1789.12 
Death*1816She died late in the year of 1816 at the home of a granddaughter in Colchester, Chittenden County, Vermont.1,2

John Howard1

Family
(Original Proprietor) Land Grant1656John Howard was among the fifty-four Duxbury men listed in 1645 as original proprietors for the development of the town that would become Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts (Plymouth Colony). Two others, Reverend James Keith and Samuel Edson, were added to the group later, and when the town of Bridgewater was actually incorporated in 1656 there were a total of fifty-six. Of these proprietors, only eighteen, about one-third, actually relocated and became residents of the new plantation. John Howard was one of the proprietors who relocated from Duxbury and settled in Bridgewater.

The area known as the Bridgewaters was originally inhabited by Wampanoag who called it Saughtuchquett (Satucket). In 1642 when the township of Marshfield was separated from Duxbury and became its own distinct entity, Duxbury petitioned the court for additional land “to the westward” in compensation.

The General Court granted their petition in 1645 and six trustees, Captain Myles Standish, John Alden, George Soule, Constant Southworth, John Rogers, and William Brett were appointed to divide the land. The action by the General Court was primarily an authority to purchase land, and Captain Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth were appointed to make the purchase. The deed was signed on 23 Mar 1649.

The Bridgewater lands were divided among the inhabitants “by an agreement among themselves”. Unfortunately, there is no record to tell us how the town proceeded to agree to their division, or how, by whom, or when it was determined what residence or other circumstance should entitle anyone to a share.
