Notes

Surname possibly Howland [MF VI:357]. [MFIP, Wm Brewster p.96], says prob. dau. of Zoeth and Abigail (--) Howland. Prob. b. Datmouth 23 Jan 1665/6. "A circumstantial case for the identity of Nathaniel's wife as Mary Howland, has been proposed for the naming of the grandchildren of Nathaniel and Mary Freeman. Their daughter, Abigail Freeman married Samuel Smith and had a son named Zoeth Smith. Zoeth was an unusual name and was found in relatively few families. A search of the family of Zoeth Howland revealed a daughter Mary, bron 1665/6. The age at death of widow Mary Freeman makes it possible for her to be one and the same as Mary Howland."
