Howland Historic sidewalk Marker dedicated in September 1978, and reads: “On This Lot Stood the First House of the Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland, The Pilgrim John Howland Society, 1978.” Clinton w.

  • The Jabez Howland House: a Time Line Throughout History Also Known As Caughtaugh-Canteist, Strawberry Hill, the Garden Spot, Carver House and Watson’S Hill
    The Jabez Howland House: A Time Line Throughout history also known as Caughtaugh-canteist, Strawberry Hill, The Garden Spot, Carver House and Watson’s Hill 1665/7 Jacob Mitchell granted a deed for land and builds a house; he married in 1666. 1669 Jacob received a deed of gift from his father, Experience Mitchell, for land in Dartmouth on November 5, 1669, and sold the house and land to Jabez Howland, son of John and Elizabeth Howland. 1680 (Jan. 10) Jabez Howland sells the house to Elkanah Watson (Plymouth Registry of Deeds, Old Colony Records, V. 4, pg. 393) “.........house and land called by the name Garden Spot.......” Also of note: At the end of the deed after Jabez Howland’s signature: “Elizabeth Howland senior yielded up her free right also in the house and land men- tioned..” followed by: “Bethyah Howland wife of Jabez Howland above mentioned gave her free consent to this deed the 15th of January 1680 before mee William Bradford Assistant.” This shows our ancestress Elizabeth Tilley Howland had an interest in the house and lived there. The Howland Quarterly lists the following ownership, but does not list the sources: (Editor’s Note – Since at times only portions of the lot were sold, it seems like there are discrepancies when there really aren’t; other sources include John Howland, A Mayflower Pilgrim, 1926; Descendants of Edward Small of New England, 1910) 1680 Jabez Howland moved to Bristol, RI, sold to Elkanah Watson, who sold to his son John Watson, who sold to Stephen Churchill in 1707.
