  • Notes 
    • John did not move with his father to Maryland in 1650. He was transported there by Thomas Sechworth in 1662. He was the only son of Matthew to change his religious beliefs and become a Quaker. He was the only son of Matthew to marry twice, both times to widows. His land was called "Howard's Interest". Only one of his sons lived to adulthood, a John Howard. This Howard line can be traced to the prestigious Howard family of England in part due to the fact that John stamped his will in wax with the arms of the Ducal House of Norfolk. His will is still preserved in Annapolis, Maryland today.
