(1) John HOWLAND on Wikipedia.

“John HOWLAND (c. 1591 – February 23, 1672/3) was a passenger on the Mayflower. He was an indentured servant and in later years, the executive assistant and personal secretary to Governor John CARVER and accompanied the Separatists and other passengers when they left England to settle in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He signed the Mayflower Compact and helped found Plymouth Colony... After the passengers came ashore John HOWLAND became assistant to the governor over the new independent state created under the compact... In 1626, Howland was a freeman and one of eight settlers who agreed to assume the colony's debt to its investors in England in exchange for a monopoly of the fur trade. He was elected deputy to the General Court in consecutive years from 1641–1655 and again in 1658. John HOWLAND died February 23, 1672/3 at the age of 80, having outlived all other male Mayflower passengers except John COOKE, son of Mayflower passenger Francis COOKE (John COOKE died in 1695). He is presumed to be buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts.”
