• 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: .... etc.

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.

And, "the five brothers, John, Samuel, Mathew, Cornelius and Philip, had nine hundred acres granted them as brothers. It was upon one of these many hills of Severn, in the neighborhood of Round Bay, that John Howard slew the lion."

• Prof. Warfield says, "In 1659, Cammander Edward Lloyd surveyed for Philip Howard, after the death of Mathew, the Severn tract of 'Howardstone', for 'Philip Howard, Orphant.
• 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.]
