Husband of Martha Bent, who grave we could not find. His stone is very small and in the middle of the first section of the grave yard.

Col. Samuel Howe, second son of John and Mary (Jones ) Howe, was a prominent man in both civil and military affairs. He was a carpenter and resided in the hamlet of Lenham, in Sudbury. He held many town offices, and was colonel of a regiment made up of companies from the towns in the vicinity. He was admitted a freeman in Sudbury in 1671, and always resided in his native town. In association with Samuel Gookin, of Cambridge, he purchased a large tract of land from the tndians, in what is now Framington, the deed dated May 19, 1682. In 1673 he built a new bridge in the northeast corner of Framingham. He married 1st in Sudbury, June 5, 1663, Martha Bent. She died August 29, 1680 and he married 2nd Sarah Leavitt, widow of Nehemiah Clapp. She was born February 25, 1659. He had 7 children from the 1st marriage and 6 from the 2nd. Most, but not all, are recorded in the vital records of Sudbury.
