Individual:
Edward was the grandson of William Howell, owner of Westbury Manor, at
Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, England. The manor was a fine stone
structure of the 16th century, two stories tall and called a "double
house". Edward inherited this manor upon the death of his father in
1625. It had been originally purchased by Edward's grandfather in 1536
during the reign of King Henry VIII. On June 8, 1639, Edward sold the
manor to Richard Francis of Marsh Gibbon for 1600 Pounds, Sterling.
Later that same year, Edward left with his family for America. The first
record of Edward in America is on a list of freemen of Boston, dated
March 13, 1640. Edward received a land grant of 500 acres at Lynn,
Massachusetts, from King Charles I of England, and took up residence
there. On April 17, 1640, Edward was one of three owners who obtained
authorization to occupy an eight mile square on Long Island, which was
then part of Connecticut Colony. Edward owned a sloop which from time to
time carried "dissatisfied colonists" from Massachusetts to Long Island.
In June or July, 1640 Edward and his family moved to Southampton, where
they spent the remainder of their lives.
In about 1647, Edward was selected to serve as a member of the
legislature at Hartford and held that position until his death. Long
Island did not come under the jurisdiction of New York until 1664.
Edward's will was probated October 6, 1655.
