[Another Howland relative, Martha Howland, had purchased a property on the north side of Beaver Dam Road, the William Brewster Rose property later known as the Ford estate. Martha had married Isaac Howland, who was a distant relative. When Isaac and Martha Howland purchased it, it included the farm behind our house (later owned by the Wellingtons). Martha was related to the ancestors of Hetty Green closely enough to inherit $12,000 upon Hetty Green's death. As far as I know, their ownership of the Brewster Rose property was unrelated to Colonel Green's leasing the Harrison place.] [S104] 1910 Census, Census Place: Brooklyn Ward 24, Kings, New York; Roll: T624_974; Page: 5B; Enumeration District: 0627; Image: 812; FHL Number: 1374987.
