In its Preface, he credited those who assisted him and the sources he used.
Daniel's mother was Martha Rice who married Issac Howard about 1732 in Coventry (now Warwick), Providence, RI. She died about 1752 in Scituate (now Foster), Providence, RI. She is buried with his father Isaac Howard. Her parentage, birthdate and place are controversial.
Daniel was the youngest of seven sons who all exceeded six feet in height. He was 6'5” by his own account. Three of his older brothers served in the French & Indian Wars. The youngest four, including Daniel, fought in the Revolution against England. Their names were listed in the RI 1777 Military Census Database. Their military records are clearly recorded in the 1901 History as well as Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications.
He was married to Dorothy Clarke for about 51 years from 1776 until his death in 1827. They lived in a house he built on forty acres of his father Isaac's farm. And had 10 children together. Their graves are in the Howard family Lot on that original estate.
Daniel and his brother William Howard were active in local civic affairs. Both were elected and represented the Town of Foster on the RI General Assembly at the time RI ratified the Federal Constitution and voted to join the Union.
Daniel served many years as the Town Justice of the Peace and Clerk. Finally, he became a Judge of the RI Court of Common Pleas. Hence the title of the Honorable Daniel Howard. JT
