Notes:

After the death of Nehemiah father, Samuel Howe,Nehemiah took the estate, and paid off the other heirs. In 1717 when he was 24 years old, he sold the estate in Sudbury, MA, and moved to Framingham, MA.

In 1727 he was a petitioner for the town of Grafton, to which place he moved, and the second town meeting was held in his house 19 April 1728. He was one of the original members of the church, 28 December 1731, and was one of the Selectmen, 1736, school committee, 1736, and was that year paid f4, 1s, 8d. for keeping the school. He was Town Clerk 1736-7-8, assessor 1737, and school committee 1738-9.

In the spring and early summer of 1739, he bought three full township rights in the new town called Great Meadows, NH, the records of those deeds are found at Springfield, MA. In 1739 or 1740 he became one of the early settlers of that town.

The year 1744 brought the Indian war, with all its attending horrers, the settlers were obliged to seek safety and shelter in the forts. On the 11th of October 1745, as he was cutting wood a few rods from the fort, he was surprised by a band on Indians and taken captive before help could reach him. He was taken to Canada, where he was kept a prisoner in Quebec for a year and a half, when he died of prison fever 25 May 1747, just as he was about to be redeemed.

His death was a severe blow to his family, and to the community where he was known, as one of his contemporaries wrote of him, "he was greatly beloved by all who knew him." He was possesed of cultivation and refinement far beyond the ordinary. He kept a journal during his prison life which was of inestimable value, for the many items therin recorded of other captives whose fate otherwise would never have been known. It is also a priceless legacy to his descendants, showing as it does, the beautiful Christion character of one who could endure the severest hardships with a grace and dignity rarely to be found.In 1748 these notes were used to publish "A Narrative of The Captivity of Nehemiah How in 1745-1747" (see title page posted here)

Nehemiah Howe was captured by Indians on 11-Oct-1745, during King George's War, near Putney, VT and taken to Canada where he died 18 months later.

Notes:

An Old Family Burial Site...
"A Tombstone, surrounded by wild strawberry plants, embedded in the soil of the country town of Lancaster, Massachusetts bears mute testimony of facts. The rough slate is boldly cut with the following inscription:
JONATHAN-FAIR BANKS-AND-HIS DAUGHTER-GRACE FAIRBANKS For two hundred and ninety-nine years this stone has weathered the elements to maintain the memory of a tragic event that cut short the lives of Jonathan and Grace. Two nearby stones, carved by the same hand, record the fateful September of 1697 when twenty-seven towns folk were massacred by Indians. Killed in that raid was the town's minister, the Rev. John Whiting. The Jonathan buried in Lancaster surely was not that earlier Jonathan (deceased 1668) whose Dedham home is preserved by the family Association. No, the identity of Jonathan of Lancaster is documented in the monumental book by Lorenzo Sales Fairbanks, Genealogy pp. 49-50. Lorenzo Sales explains that the Jonathan who met his untimely death in Lancaster was the son of Jonas, the third son of the original Jonathan of Dedham. Jonas had moved to western Massachusetts as one of the original settlers of Lancaster in 1657. He was a founding father of that town. Although a carpenter and a farmer, he had a sense of style and self-worth that exceeded his monetary position in society. Even before moving to the frontier of the seventeenth century he was, in 1652, fined a few shillings for violating the sumptuary laws (passed the year before) by wearing great boots before his estate amounted to more than 200 pounds. Jonas married Lydia Prescott of Watertown who bore him seven children. The fourth was Jonathan (b. 7/8/1666). Within ten years, Jonas was dead - having perished in an Indian attack on Lancaster on Feb. 10, 1676. That raid also took away the life of Jonathan's older brother Joshua, who was at the time fifteen years of age. It is not surprising therefore that when Jonathan matured he became a soldier, and was one of the first to venture on long expeditions into the wilderness. He shared in the ill-fated expedition against Quebec in 1690 with Sir William Phips. On Aug 24 1688 he married Mary Hayward of Concord. She gave him three children: Hannah, (d 1704), Grace (d 1697), and Mary (d 1745) Grace was about seven when she perished in the Indian raid of 1697 that killed so many inhabitants of Lancaster, including her father and his younger brother Jonas (b. 1673). Jonathan's wife was carried away with six other Lancastrians as captives, like Mary Rowlandson who had been taken in the l676 raid and wrote a famous account of her captivity and return. All captives from Lancaster but one were redeemed by government intervention and returned to their remaining family members a year later. During the raid of 1697, another brother of Jonathan s, Jabez, saved many Lancastrians in a garrison, or fortified house. He later became a notable soldier commissioned by Governor Dummer, employed as a Captain for long distance travel and scouting throughout the 1720's. "

Massacred with two children by indians.
