      Colonel Samuel Howe on May 31, 1671; "Admitted freeman. He lived in Sudbury, and built the bridge in the north east corner of Framingham in 1673. In 1682 he and Samuel Gookin bought of the Natick Indians, a large tract of about 1700 acres of Framingham lands, which is referred to in local histories as the Gookin and Howe purchase. He was very prominent in the early history of the town as it appears in the local histories, and is spoken of as 'a man of energy and public spirit.' "He served in King Philip's war, in Capt. Nathan Davenport's company, and was an officer in the militia, and his name appears in the lists of those who suffered in the Indian war." [Howe Genealogies - Daniel Waite Howe, NEHGS, pp. 7-8]
      He gave to his son David, land in Sudbury on which was built the Red Horse Tavern, later known Howe's Tavern and as the Wayside Inn which remained in his family for four generations
