Asked by Wiki User
Yes. John Howland (c. 1591 -- February 23, 1672/3) was a passenger on the Mayflower. He was an indentured servant to John Carver and accompanied the Separatists and other passengers when they left England to settle in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He signed the Mayflower Compact and helped found Plymouth Colony. He fell overboard but was rescued by the sailors.
John Carver, the first governor of the Plymouth Colony, to whom he was indentured, died in April 1621. In 1626, Howland was a freeman and one of eight settlers who agreed to assume the colony's debt to its investors in England in exchange for a monopoly of the fur trade. He was elected deputy to the General Court in consecutive years from 1641--1655 and again in 1658.
