Notes
a. Note:   Type: Book Author: Daniel Wait Howe Periodical: Howe Genealogies Publication: (1929)" Born in Sudbury, MA...his father gave him part of the homestead, which he sold to his brother Elisha, and he received a grant of land in Brookfield in 1715, but he does not appear to have lived there; he was at Sudbury 1716-1721, and at Rutland [MA]1722-1725; in 1722 he was chosen on of the Assessors of Rutland. On 26 March 1726, he bought land in Framingham [MA], and opened a tavern there, which he kept for a few years. In 1736 Massachusetts granted a new township called No. 2, on the east bank of the Conn. River, above Northfield, of which Daniel How was a proprietor. The next year, 1737, he sold his property in Framingham, and he and his brother Nehemiah, with Jethro Wheeler and William Phipps, together with their families, became the first inhabitants of the new township, which soon took the name of Great Meadows, and was so called until 1752, when it was rechartered under the name of Westmoreland by the New Hampshire government, it having fallen within the limits of that province, by a final settlement of the boundary line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. By this second grant, the proprietary rights of nearly one-tenth part of the town fell to Daniel and his sons, and the sons of his brother Nehemiah who had died in the meantime. Daniel built a block house on this land on a bluff overlooking the river, which was later strengthened by a palisade, and during two ensuing Indian wars, it was known as the Great Meadows Fort. He died in his own fort 3 Feb 1757, and was buried in the old North Cemetery, which is only a short distance from the site of the fort. His wife outlived him many years. # Text: p. 9; p. 20
