Vermont Historical Magazine, No. XI, October 1867, p 
(extracted from a section on the history of Guildhall, Essex County, Vermont)

Reuben and Simon HOWE settled [at Guildhall, Essex County, Vermont] in 1779. 
Reuben HOWE afterward occupied the farm since purchased by Pliny ROSEBROOK, 
and which is occupied by him and his sons. Joel C. HOWE, son of Reuben, is 
at this time living in town. Capt. Simon HOWE was one of the most 
substantial and independent farmers, and one of the pillars of society and 
the church. He had several sons, who for many years resided in this town 
[Guildhall] and vicinity, but have since removed to the West. Asahel B. HOWE 
one of the sons, is a man of position and wealth in Beloit [Rock County], 
Wisconsin. One of the daughters, Prudence, is the wife of Anson FISKE, Esq., 
one of the best and most independent farmers in town, and resides upon the 
old homestead. [Note the Essex County, Vermont, biography of Samuel HOWE 
also mentions a ROSEBROOK.]
