Came to Auburn 1849, hauled freight, "quiet"
Originally from the Duchy of Luxemburg (Alsea Lorraine?) and came to America in his early manhood, settling in Honntown, Iowa where he met Catherine Smith in 1850. Two years later he crossed the plains and reached Sailor's Flat in El Dorado County August 1852 where he followed mining until moving to Georgetown in 1854 and was joined by his wife.
Michael went by wagon train to California. His wife, Catherine, unable to stand the arduous journey was on board a steamer which docked at Panama, from where she crossed the Isthmus Canal and boarded another steamer to San Francisco. Michael met his wife in SF and moved to Coloma. Several years later, the family moved to Georgetown and from there to Michigan Bluff (1855), moving to Auburn in 1868.
Michael had a business of conducting freight by wagon to various towns and villages, collected at Sacramento to Virginia City until the Southern Pacific built the spur to Rocklin and the wagons delivered then to Forest Hill, Michigan Bluff, Todds Valley, Yankee Jims and the the big divide to Last Chance and Deadwood. He mined near Redding and remained there until ill health brought him back to Auburn in 1899.
Died after 6 mos of illness including rheumatism, affection of the heart and dropsey.
The Plymouth Colony Court Records say he died on 23 February, the Plymouth Church Records say he died 24 February.
He was the thirteenth signer of the famous "Compact" which was executed in the cabin of the Mayflower, Provincetown harbor, November 21, 1620.
He was a member of Gov. Carver's family. Later events showed that Gov. Carver's high estimate of the man was well placed, for John Howland afterwards took a prominent part in the affairs of the Colony. John Howland settled at Plymouth at a place called "Rocky Nook."
In 1633 and 1634 he was Assessor, and in 1635 a member of Governor Bradford's Council. In 1636 was on the "Jewry," and in 1666 Selectman. He was a Deputy to the General Court in 1652 to 1656, and in 1658, 1661, 1663, 1666, 1667 and 1670.
His will is dated May 29, 1672, and probated March 5, 1673.
He died Feb. 23, 1672-3, in his 80th year. His widow died in Swanzey, Mass.,
at the residence of her daughter Lydia Brown, on Dec. 21, 1687, aged 80
years.
The ancestry of John Howland is discussed in John Howland of the Mayflower
through Desire Howland for Five Generations", Vol. 1, by Elizabeth Pearson
White, available from the Mayflower Web Page bookstore:
John Howland is the son of Henry and Margaret Howland of Fenstanton, Huntingdon, England. Henry died on 17 May 1635 in Fenstanton, and Margaret was buried on 31 July 1629. Besides son John, who came on the Mayflower, they also had Humphrey, Arthur, Henry, George, and Margaret. Henry came to Plymouth sometime before 1633, and Arthur came sometime before 1640. For information on Arthur Howland, see the National Genealogical Society Quarterly 71:84+, and for information on Henry Howland see NGSQ 75:105-116, 216-225.
John Howland came on the Mayflower as a servant to John Carver. He is best remembered for having fallen off the Mayflower during a mighty storm, as recorded by Bradford:
"In sundrie of these storms the winds were so feirce, & ye seas so high, as they could not bear a knote of saile, bu were forced to hull, for diverce days togither, and in one of them, as they thus lay at hull, in a moighty storme, a hustie younge man (called John Howland), coming upon some occasion above ye grattings, was, with a seale of ye shipe thrown into [ye] sea; but it pleased God yt he caught hould of ye top saile halliards, which hunge overboard, & rane out at length; yt he held his hould (though he was sundrie fadomes under water) till he was hald up by ye same rope to ye brime of ye water, and then with a boat hooke & other means got into ye shipe again & his life saved; and though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after, and became a profitable member both in church & comonewealthe."
Translation:
In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high,
as they could not bear a knot of sail, but were forced to hull for divers
days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm,
a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the
gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased
God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and
ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under
water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and
then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life
saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after
and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.
