Son of Peter Howe and Grace Bush. Served in the Revolutionary War.
.
Husband of Beulah "Betsey" Wheeler, whom he married on March 4 1747, in Bolton, Worcester, MA, and with whom he had nine children:
Abner Howe
Olive Howe
Phebe Howe #1
Beulah Howe
Peter Howe
Candis Howe
Phebe Howe #2
John Howe
Joel Howe
.
No gravestone. "The small 'Ward' Cemetery on Finel Hollow road, is located on the old Nehemiah How homestead. Nehemiah died in 1777 and it is supposed that he and his wife Betsey . . . are buried here, but no stones mark the spot . . . There are numerous slate slabs which probably mark graves."
[Source: Margaret R. Jenks: Poultney Cemetery Inscriptions, Rutland County, Vermont, p. 72]
.
Note: His birth record spells his surname "How." So does his marriage record. The History of Poultney, VT, spells it as "Howe." Descendants of this line in Rutland Co., VT, use both spellings. So my preference is to use How(e).
