      Subject: Howard's Thickett

      I just found the answer to my question - she got Howard's Thickett from her husband John Howard. Here is excerpt of John Howard's will written Dec. 30, 1695. Well there goes another theory on her identity....~ Fonda

      Item I give & bequeath unto my Loving Wife Elenor Howard fifty Acres of Land being part of a Tract of Land containing One hundred & fifty Acres of Land comonly called or known by the name of the Woodyard, and also fifty Acres of Land adjoining to the Woodyard, and called by the name of Howards Thickett with all & every the Rights priviledges & appurtenances to the same belonging or in any wise appertaining To have & to hold the said Two parcels of Land with the appurtenances unto her the said Elenor Howard my said my said Wife her heirs & Assignes for Ever.
