  • Notes: 

  • The parentage for William W. Howland is circumstancial. His daughter Margaretha married Rodney W. Beach, son of William and Susannah (Howland) Beach. Susannah Howland is William's sister, which means his daughter Margaretha married her first cousin Rodney Beach. The young couple took their honeymoon by stagecoach to Lapeer. The migration of the Howlands in both Lapeer and Detroit from Rhode Island also supports William's parentage.
