Excerpt from Recollections of the Private Centennial Celebration of the Overthrow of the Tea: At Griffins Wharf, in Boston Harbor; December 16, 1773; In Honor of Samuel Howard; One of the Actors; At Cambridge, Mass;, December, 1878 Mr father, Samuel Howard, of Boston, Mass., was unknown to fame, until bis name appeared on the roll of history, with those who overthrew the tea in Boston Harbor, Dec. 16, 1773. There has always been a tradition in our family of his participation in the act; and one of the accounts is, that some tea remaining in his boots was scattered on the hearth, that one of the family tried to gather it up, when another ran for a broom and swept it into the fire. My father died when I was two years old, in the "Mansion House" as it was called, where the Mariners' Church now stands, in the North Square, in Boston. Not long after his death, my mother removed to the country, to educate her younger children. At eight years of age I was placed with my sister, Anna Maria, afterwards Mrs. White, at an academy in the north parish of Andover. There my mother died, and was buried.
