Eldredge Genealogy by Zoeth S. Eldredge July 30, 1896 -- It is not known when Henry Howland came, but the first record of him is in the allotment of cattle to the different families in Plymouth in 1624, when he appears as the owner of the "black cow." He was a freeman in 1633; served as surveyor of highways, grand juror, etc. In 1657 he had joined the Society of Friends, and his name appears that year on the list of those who refused to serve on the "Grand Enquest." Both Henry and his son Zoeth, who had also become a member of the Friends Society, were frequently fined and imprisoned for entertaining quakers, refusing to serve on the grand jury, etc.
