Priscilla Howland
Probably the wife of Capt. Peter Bennett of Middleborough, married at Bridgewater in 1700, and mother of his son Lt. Joseph Bennett Jr. She was probably a daughter of Isaac Howland and Elizabeth Vaughan, and so a granddaughter of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower, a descent that passes through Joseph to Lucy (Bennett) Ellis.
