Excerpts from: Pictorial History of King Philip's War by Daniel Strock, 1851.
"He (the Governor) likewise gave his consent for Church to set out on his visit to Sandwich that afternoon; and six men, among whom was Mr. Jabez Howland, son of one of the first settlers, volunteered to accompany him.
This little party were joined on the way by several persons, and reached Sandwich that night. Finding no Indians there, they proceeded next morning to Agawom, where all but half-a-dozen became discouraged and abandoned the enterprise. On reaching Rochester River, Church left Howland and two others for a reserve, so that in case he should meet with an enemy and be driven back, they might assist him and his companions in getting over the river. After crossing another stream, Church and those with him reached Buzzard's Bay, "where they might see many miles along shore where were sands and flats."
…" We return to the new expedition under Church. He again assembled the friendly Indians, and as many of the soldiers as were willing to accompany him; and naming Jabez Howland his lieutenant, he marched toward Dartmouth. Howland divided his men into small squads, which, scouring the woods in all directions, captured a number of the enemy. In the evening, Church reassembled his party, and examined the prisoners. They informed him that Totoson was in the neighbourhood, with some of his countrymen, unaware of the presence of an enemy."
…" Church now marched for the fort where his scout had passed the night. On arriving there, he met Howland and the remainder of his company, and indulged in a "very acceptable" meal, composed entirely of horse-flesh. Immediately afterward they captured the families of the prisoners already taken, together with some stragglers from Annawon's camp. These were strictly examined, separately and privately; but they all "held to one story, that it was hard to tell where to find Annawon, for he never roosted twice in a place."

Jabez married Thacher, Bethiah between 1660 and 1694. Bethiah was born between 1640 and 1645 in Bristol, Bristol Co., RI; died on 19 Dec 1725 in Bristol, Bristol Co., RI; was buried . [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
