- He was a glover and leatherworker. In Duxbury by 6 Aug 1640.
Like his brother Henry, and entirely unlike their more famous brother John, Arthur was a firm Quaker, and endured the lifetime of legal penalties this brought upon him. "Arthur Howland was a strong Quaker, as were many of his descendants. He was in court on October 7, 1651, for not frequenting the public assemblies on the Lord's day. In December, 1657, Robert Huchin, an itinerant Quaker, held a meeting at Howland's house. Warned that the constable was on his way to break up the gathering and arrest Huchin, Howland managed to effect Huchin's escape. He, himself, was arrested and taken before Mr. John Alden, the magistrate, the next day, having again by stratagem enabled Huchin to escape, and was lodged in jail. On March 2, 1657/8, he was fined £9 and bound for good behavior. While in jail he had composed 'a writing' which he presented to the court and which the magistrates said was full of factious, seditious and slanderous passages. Refusing to pay the fines he was again committed to prison, but on June 1, 1658, he admitted that he had 'done evil' and was released. However, he continued his adherence to the new faith."
