Notes

Immigration

Came on the Mayflower as a manservant of Governor John Carver. During the voyage, Howland fell overboard during a storm and was almost lost at sea, but luckily for his millions of descendants living today, he managed to grab hold of the topsail halyards, giving the crew enough time to rescue him with a boat hook.
