JOHN2 HOWARD, JR. (John1 HAWARD) (Martha2, Thomas1 HAYWARD) "He [John Howard] then settled in Joppa in East Bridgewater and lived on the spot where Deacon Kenne afterward lived. While there, his father and friends at West Bridgewater would speak of Joppa as, “down at John’s,” “John’s bridge,” “John’s river,” so that these designations were later adopted in the records. After the death of his father, he sold his house and farm to his uncle Edward Mitchell in 1703, and went back to West Bridgewater to live.
He inherited from his father, his house and barn, together with a large tract of land, and various lots of outlying land. He occupied the house and conducted it as a tavern until 1726.
He had six children. m. 1678 Bridgewater, Plymouth, MA Sarah Latham (Robert1 LATHAM) (Susannah2, John1 WINSLOW) [Source: Descendants of John Howard, 1903 by Heman [sic] Howard; Privately Published by the Standard Printing Company, Brockton, MA]
