Peter Howe moved with his father from New Marlborough to Poultney, VT.
He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and with his father was at the battle of Bennington. Peter Howe continued to fight in the Revolution after his father's death. He spoke of being in the battle of Bunker Hill. Also believe Peter was at battle of Saratoga, a very important battle. That was the battle that was the turning point for France to come in the war to help.
After the war he married Orinda Fuller and purchased land in Poultney, Rutland Co., Vermont, where they lived until 1801. Here all their children were born except Matilda. During that time they had 13 children; three died when infants; the six oldest were girls, then two boys, and then two girls.
In 1799 and 1800, some of Peter's acquaintances moved to Ohio, and wrote how the 'far west' had rich soil and an easier living. So in Sept. 1801 he emigrated with his wife and ten children to Ohio - an interesting account of it was written by his son Sylvanus, then 14 years old. Orinda's youngest baby girl was only six weeks old. The emigrant party consisted of Peter and his family, including their oldest daughter's family, and Joseph Chadeus and Elijah Pond and their families, making 30 persons in all.. When they came to the head waters of the Alleghany River they lashed canoes together by twos. One pair of canoes struck a rock and spilled all the contents including the men, women, and children, but fortunately the passengers and most of the goods were saved.
They arrived at Marietta, Ohio, 12 Nov. 1801, having been about two months on the way. Peter and Orinda settled in Washington Co., Ohio near Marietta along the Muskingum River, where they lived about 25 years. Peter was a farmer, and his children all married and settled in Ohio and fifty years after they landed at Marietta, all of them were living. At one time, Sylvanus says, his father sat at a table with his oldest daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, and great great granddaughters. After their children were all married and on their own, Peter and Orinda went to live with their youngest son, Sylvanus, in Athens Co., where they remained most of the time while they lived. Orinda Fuller and Peter Howe were married on 12 July 1780.⁷⁵⁰ They^⁷⁵⁰ appeared in the census in 1800 in USA, Vermont, Rutland Co., Poultney.⁷⁵² Peter How 20010 13210
