  1. This is a nice little page the only statement that I have an exception to is that these Howlands are connected to John Howland. I have been searching for many years for Elijah Howland's parentage. I have not been able to find anything regarding his family. Since all the Howland's from that area seem to be connected it is natural to assume that Ann C. Howland and her father are part of this line. If you have proof of his connection I would truly love for you to share it with me. It would solve a great mystery. If you would like to contact me please email sadiegirl06@comcast.net as I never really review my gmail account. I am hoping that I am incorrect and that you have the key! Joan
