  • Notes: 

  • Published sources disagree on whether or not Annie, wife of Abraham Howland, was the daughter of George Rouse or Nathaniel Colson. Others claim Abraham had two wives, the first being Annie Colson and the second Annie Rouse. Evidence is needed to properly identify the wife/wives of Abraham Howland.
