- Pg.353
- MATTHEW HOWARD, SR. was probably b. at least by 1610, and since he was not listed among those person living in Va., at the time of the 'Muster" of 1624/25, he clearly was not b. in Va. He d. sometime bet. 1652 and 1659, in Va.; m. possibly C1635, Ann (___), whose transportation into Va., he claimed - probably having brought her here, himself. It isn't known when Ann died. Her last child was b. C1651.
- As will be shown below, the earliest record in America which mentions the name of Matthew Howard, of which we have knowledge, was dated 1635, and the last was in Dec. 1652. His wife Ann, was first mentioned in Va. records on May 26, 1638, with no further known reference to her after July 6, 1640, although she undoubtedly lived a number of years after this.
- It seems likely that Ann, the mother, had died only shortly before the children came to Maryland, in 1659.
- It doesn't take too much imagination .... etc.
- Pg.356
- Issue of Matthew and Ann Howard, Sr. named in the order they were given in will of Richard Hall, therfore prob. in their order of birth (the last two not having then been born):
- I. Ann Howard (q.v.)
- II. Elizabeth Howard (q.v.)
- III. Matthew Howard Jr. (q.v.)
- IV. Cornelius Howard (q.v.)
- V. John Howard (q.v.)
- VI. Samuel Howard (q.v.)
- VII. Philip Howard (q.v.)
- VIII. Mary Howard (q.v.)
- I. Ann Howard, prob. b. C1637, Lower Norfolk Co., Va.; Legatee in the 1648 will of Richard Hall, in Va.; m. James Greneff, or Greniffe. He left a will dated Anne Arundel Co., Md., Feb. 21, 1686; proved, Sept. 26, 1694 (given in full at the back of this chapter), in which he ment. his wife Ann, his children, and also his "broth", John Howard, and "brother" Samuel Howard, his sister Catherine, and others. Issue as named:
- (I.) John Greniffe, perhaps the one who m. Ruth (___) Dorsey, widow of Edward.
- (II.) James Greniffe, Jr., lliving, 1703
- (III.) Samuel Greniffe, d.s.p. testate, 1703, A.A.Co., Md.

She was also a legatee in the 1648 will of Richard Hall, and her husband claimed land rights in 1664, for having transported her into Maryland. Actually, it seems doubtful that such was the case. Probably she transported herself, or perhaps one of her brothers brought her to Maryland, but if a woman married before land rights could be claimed for her, it was customary to allow her husband that privilege. Her bro. Cornelius came to Md. in 1659 and prob. the others too, and Elizabeth with them. For Known issue of Col. Henry Ridgley, which we believe to also have been Elizabeth's, see the Ridgley family.

- He immigrated to Md., from Va., bef. 1659 [Skorda, op. cit., p. 216], and in 1661, Henry Catlin, also from Va., and one of Edward Lloyd's commissioners, assigned his Md. survey to Matthew, Jr., who then re-named it, "Howard's Inheritance" [Warfield, op. cit., pp. 44, 68.]

It was upon one of these many hills of Severn, in the neighborhood of Round Bay, that John Howard slew the lion."

Catherine Warner, dau. of James and Joan (___) Warner. (NOTE: Prof. Warfield (op. cit..p. 70), erroneously stated that Catherine was a dau. fo "James and Elizabeth Warner, daughter of William Harris..."; however, Elizabeth (___) Harris, widow and not daughter of William Harris, married James Warner, as his (2) wife, onlly about a year before he died [Quakers In The Founding Of Anne Arundel County maryland, by J. Reaney Kelly (Baltimore, 1963), pp. 79-81], and there was no issue of that marriage.

- Philip was a legatee in the 1691 will of his bro., Matthew, Jr., and in the 1696 will of his bro., John. In 1697 "Capt Philip Howard of Anne Arundell Co.", was mentioned. [Semmes, op. cit., p. 215.] he was a Justice of A.A. Co., in 1694, and in the same year was one of the Commissioners for laying out the town of Annapolis. [Warfield, op. cit., p. 74.]
