Biographical synthesis

Peter Howard (b.ca.1630; d.?). Waterman.

Resident in the parish of Saint Catherines near the Tower in 1657.

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Twenty-seven year old Peter Howard deposed on December 12th 1657 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined in the case of "The office of the Judges promoted by Daniell Vassell and others against Jenkin Ellis".[1]

The case concerned the damage of the moorings at Saint Catherines stairs near the wharf of the defendant Jenkin Ellis. Ellis was alleged to have allowed vessels to lie many abreast by his wharf, and through this mooring the river side had become silted up with mud.
