Married Susannah Shoup
Known Children:
Elizabeth Howe - 3 September 1779
Abraham Howe - 25 Sepember 1781
Mary Howe - 18 September 1783
Catharine Howe - 14 November 1785
Susannah Howe - 22 July 1786
William Howe, Jr. - 7 October 1789
John Howe - 30 July 1792
Edward Howe - 30 October 1794
Anna Howe - 18 November 1796
Margaret Howe - 14 March 1799
Esther Howe - 18 June 1801
William and Susanna first lived in York County,Pa., where they had 72 acres of land surveyed in 1767. William was taxed in Warrington for land, two horses and two cows from 1779 through 1795. The property was about a mile north of Rossville, probably on the Old York Road.
William served in the York County militia from 1779 to 1783. He started in the Fifth Company, First Batallion, and paid a fine of 16 s. 3 d. for some infraction, probably for missing drill or guard duty. He continued in the company when it was moved to the Sixth Batallion, and paid further fines. In 1781 he was listed as "infirm" and did not march with the batallion.
William is named as executor in his father-in-law Andrew Shoup's will of 1784 and proved in 1790 in York County, Pa.
In 1797 William and his wife sold 74 acres in York County to Simeon Hutton for 350 pounds. William signed the transaction, while Susanna made her mark. It appears that they had already moved north to Perry County by this time, so they must have journeyed back down the river for this bit of business.
Around 1790 William and Susannah moved north to Cumberland (now Perry) County. They were listed in the 1790 census in both Warrington Township, York County, and the eastern part of Cumberland County. They probably moved during that year and were counted twice.
The following heirs of William Howe, who died intestate, are found in the 1816 Orphans Court petition of son Abraham Howe, "a widow to wit, Susanna Howe and issue ten children to wit The Petitioner, William Howe, John Howe, Edward Howe, Elizabeth intermarried with Henry Frank, Mary intermarried with Joseph McCollum, Susanna intermarried with Thomas Boyd, Ann Howe & Margaret Howe, and Esther Howe, the last three named of whom are still in their minority."
