Occupation: Sheriff of Hertfordshire & Essex, Knight of Fersfield and East Winch, Norfolk, Lord of Wiggenhall, Sheriff of Essex, Knight of the Shire b.1365 AUG 22 d.1437 Spouse: Alice Tendring | Father: Knight, of Wiggenhall - East Winch and Tendring Robert Howard Mother: Margaret de Scales | Biography John was a descendant of Sir William Howard, j.c.p. under Edward I, who possibly came of burgess stock from Bishop’s Lynn. His grandfather, Sir John Howard, served as admiral of the northern fleet (1335-7), and by the mid 14th century the family was of quasi-baronial importance with interests and connexions scattered throughout East Anglia. The Howard estates, accumulated through marriage and purchase, included five manors near Bishop’s Lynn and the property of John’s grandmother, the de Boys heiress, at Fersfield and Garboldisham in south Norfolk and Brook Hall near Dunwich in Suffolk. John’s father died in 1389, when he was about 23, but his mother lived on until 1416. Most of the inheritance passed to him at his father’s death, however, and that same year his landed holdings were augmented considerably following the demise of his father-in-law, Lord Plaiz.2 Howard’s marriage to Lord Plaiz’s only daughter had been purchased nine years earlier for 300 marks, and now, besides the Plaiz manors at Toft, Weeting and Knapton in Norfolk, he acquired properties outside East Anglia, namely ‘Benetfield Bury’ in Stansted Mountfichet, Oakley and Moze (Essex), Chelsworth (Suffolk) and Fowlmere (Cambridgeshire). These estates, valued at over £117 a year when his wife died in 1391, he retained for life ‘by the courtesy’. Howard’s second wife brought him properties on the border of Essex and Suffolk, the most notable being the manor of Stoke Nayland. The estates thus acquired by marriage qualified Sir John for election to Parliament by three shires. In 1404 he was numbered among the few landowners of England whose net incomes amounted to over 500 marks a year.3 Howard’s career had begun by March 1387 when he was already a knight and serving at sea in the fleet commanded by Richard, earl of Arundel. He was closely connected with Sir Simon Felbrigg, a cousin on his mother’s side, with whom he was associated in a religious foundation in 1392, and it may have been Felbrigg who introduced him to the royal household. (Sir Simon had married a kinswoman of Queen Anne and from 1395 appeared on ceremonial occasions as the King’s standard-bearer.) On 10 Mar. 1394 Howard was retained by Richard II for life with an annuity of £40. That September he joined the King’s expedition in Ireland, returning in the following spring. The cancellation of his appointment as sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in December 1396 was evidently of no lasting political significance, for he was nominated as a j.p. in Suffolk in the following July. Howard’s election to Parliament in the autumn of 1397 probably owed much to his position as one of the King’s retainers, for Richard required supporters in the Commons for the enforcement of his stringent measures against the Appellants of 1387-8. During the recess he was commissioned to seize and supervise estates forfeited by Gloucester, Arundel and Warwick, and in December he was instructed to treat with the men of Essex and Hertfordshire for payment of a communal fine of £2,000 and to return to Parliament when it re-assembled at Shrewsbury ready, in conjunction with his fellow shire knight, Robert Tey, to give a personal account to the King of that commission’s activities. When Richard set off on his second voyage to Ireland, in the spring of 1399, Sir John again accompanied him.4 Howard’s royal annuity was not confirmed by Henry IV, but he soon accommodated himself to the new regime and his influence as a landed magnate remained unimpaired. He continued to serve on royal commissions and as a j.p. without interruption, and he now became steward of the liberty of Bury St. Edmunds. Sir John’s chief interests lay not with his hereditary estates bordering the Wash, but rather in the property acquired by his marriages. Thus, he officiated as sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in 1400-1 (during which term he was summoned to the great council of August 1401), and of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in 1401-3; and it was as knight of the shire for Cambridgeshire that he was returned to Parliament for the second time, in 1407.5 But his family holdings ensured that at least to some extent he would be active in Norfolk. Earlier in his career he had devoted some attention to Raveningham college, an important foundation with which his father and his father-in-law, Lord Plaiz, had been much concerned, and he assisted in the removal of the college first to Norton Subcourse (Norfolk) and then to Mettingham castle (Suffolk). Something of his standing in East Anglian society is suggested by that of his associates: for instance, his brother-in-law, Constantine, Lord Clifton, owned Buckenham castle and other substantial estates, of which he was a feoffee. He served as trustee of the properties of Joan, Lady Fitzwalter (d.1409); among those given a fiduciary interest in his own estates was another kinsman, Robert, 5th Lord Scales; and in 1413 he was named as supervisor of the will of Maud de Vere, dowager countess of Oxford. It is not known precisely when he joined the circle of Joan de Bohun, countess of Hereford, but he had evidently done so by 1402 and thereafter he became close to the countess by whom he was engaged as a councillor. It seems likely that his son John (the issue of his first marriage) was a member of Joan’s household, for when the young man made his will in 1409 he named her, along with his father, as overseer. Others connected with Countess Joan included Robert Tey, for whom Howard acted as a feoffee, and Sir William Marney*, who asked him to be godfather to one of his sons. It was in association with Marney that Howard became a trustee of the estates of the Essex lawyer, Richard Baynard*. Then, too, he was well known to Sir Thomas Erpingham, formerly chamberlain to Henry IV and steward of the household of Henry V, who after the death of Howard’s son John married his widow, Joan Walton.6 As sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in 1414-15, Howard became involved in preparations for Henry V’s first expedition to France, and in January 1416 he was pardoned £180 charged on his account in consideration of the expenses incurred at that time. In the summer of 1420 there was grave danger of a breach of the peace at the Suffolk assizes between the followers of Howard and Sir Thomas Kerdeston†, a distant kinsman of his wife, and the prospect of a riot prompted Sir Thomas Erpingham to inform the King’s Council so that both men might be warned to cease ‘alle suche gederyng of strengthe and of meigntenance’. Both Howard and Kerdeston were described as ‘weel ykynde and of gret allyaunce’, able to gain support ‘as weel of lordys of estate as of othre gentilmen as knyghtis and squyers’.7 Howard naturally found no difficulty in securing marriages for his children and grandchild with important gentry families. Young John had been married to the Walton heiress, and now, in 1420, Howard obtained for Robert, his elder son by his second wife, the hand of Margaret Mowbray, daughter of Thomas, duke of Norfolk (d.1399), and sister to John, the Earl Marshal, who was to be acknowledged duke in 1425. One eventual outcome of this match was that part of the inheritance of the great comital houses of Mowbray and Fitzalan became vested in the Howard family in the person of Sir John’s grandson, John†, who was to be summoned to Parliament as Lord Howard in 1470 and created Earl Marshal and duke of Norfolk by Richard III. Meanwhile, in about 1425 Howard secured for his grand daughter Elizabeth (the only child of his son John) the hand of John de Vere, the young earl of Oxford, who had refused a marriage proposed to him by the King’s Council in order to wed her. The price was high: Sir John settled on Elizabeth many of the family properties near Lynn and all of the former de Boys manors; and he assured de Vere that she would inherit the Plaiz and Walton estates of her parents. These settlements were to lead, after his death, to bitter feuds between the earl of Oxford and Lord Howard, which influenced their fateful alignment in the civil wars.8
After his third Parliament, in 1422, Howard became less active than before in local administration, although he continued to be a j.p. in Suffolk and to serve as a commissioner to raise royal loans. In February 1436 he himself was requested for a loan of 100 marks in aid of the duke of York’s expedition to France. A year or so later he set out on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, only to die at Jerusalem on 17 Nov. 1437. His body was apparently brought back for burial next to his second wife, at Stoke Nayland.9 |  | John Howard SIR 1ST DUKE OF NORFOLK b.1421 d.1485 Spouse: Catherine de Moleyns | Father: SIR KNIGHT Robert Howard of Stoke Neyland Mother: LADY Margaret de Mowbray | lst Duke of Norfolk of the Howard family, son & heir of Sir Robert Howard by Margaret, dau of Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, & cousin & ultimately coheiress of John Mowbray, 4th duke of Norfolk (d. 1475). He entered the service of his kinsman John Mowbray, 3rd duke of Norfolk. He was of service to the Yorkist cause, for on the accession of Edward IV in 1461 he was knighted, appointed constable of Colchester Castle, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and one of the kings carvers, and was known to have great fellowship with the king. In 1462 he was appointed constable of Norwich Castle, and received grants of several manors forfeited by the Earl of Wiltshire and others. He was joined in a commission with Lords Fauconberg and Clinton to keep the seas; and they made a descent on Brittany, and took Croquet and the Isle of Rhé. Towards the end of the year he served under Norfolk against the Lancastrians in the north, and was sent by the duke from Newcastle to help the Earl of Warwick at Warkworth, and in the spring of 1464 was with Norfolk in Wales when the duke was securing the country for the king. Howard returned home on 8 June (1464), and bought the reversion of the constableship of Bamborough Castle. On 3 Nov. 1465 his wife Catharine(dau of Wm., Lord Moleyns,) died. He married his 2nd wife, Margaret, dau of Sir John Chedworth, and in Apr was elected knight of the shire for Suffolk. He was employed in June 1468 in attending the kings sis Eliz to Flanders on her marriage with Charles, duke of Burgundy . When Henry VI was restored he created Howard a baron by a writ of summons dated 15 Oct. 1470, making him Baron de Howard. Nevertheless, he appears to have remained faithful to the Yorkist cause. He commanded a fleet sent to oppose the Lancastrians & on Edwards landing in Mar,1471 proclaimed him king in Suffolk. Was at the battles of Barnet & Tewkesbury. In June he was appointed deputy-governor of Calais, and after having sworn to maintain the succession of the Prince of Wales, crossed over on 3 June, and was engaged in negotiations with France. When Edward invaded France in July 1475 he was accompanied by Howard, who was one of the kings most trusted councillors during the expedition; he was one of the commissioners who made the truce at Amiens, received a pension from Louis XI, and met Philip de Commines to arrange the conference between the two kings at Picquigny. He remained in France as a hostage for a short time after Edward left, and on his return to England received from the king as a reward for his fidelity and prudence grants of several manors in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. He also was sent to Scotland in command of a fleet. At the funeral of Edward in April 1483, Howard, who is styled the kings bannerer, bore the late kings banner. Next he attached himself to Richard of Gloucester, and became privy to all his plans and doings. He was appointed high steward of the duchy of Lancaster on 13 May, and a privy councillor, and on 28 June was created Duke of Norfolk and earl marshal with remainder to the heirs male of his body, the patent thus reviving the dignities held by the Mowbrays and Thomas of Brotherton, son of Edward I, from whom he was descended on the mothers side through females. He was concerned in persuading the widowed queen [Elizabeth Woodville] to deliver up her younger son the Duke of York, that he might be lodged with his brother in the Tower. At the coronation of Richard III on 6 July he acted as high steward, bore the crown, and as marshal rode into Westminster Hall after the ceremony. He was appointed admiral of England, Ireland, and Aquitaine. Was with Richard on his visit to the north on 12 Sept. 1484 when he was nominated chief of the commissioners to treat with the ambassadors of James III of Scotland. For the sake of his oath and his honour he would not desert the king. At Bosworth he commanded the vanguard, which was largely composed of archers, and he was slain in the battle on 22 Aug. He was buried in the conventual church of Thetford. He was attainted by act of the first parliament of Henry VII. By his first wife, Catharine, he had Thomas, earl of Surrey and second duke of Norfolk, and four daughters: Anne, married to Sir Edward Gorges of Wraxall, Somerset; Isabel, married to Sir Robert Mortimer of Essex; Jane, married to John Timperley; and Margaret, married to Sir John Wyndham of Crownthorpe and Felbrigg, Norfolk, ancestor of the Wyndhams, earls of Egremont. His second wife, who bore him one daughter, Catharine, married to John Bourchier, second lord Berners, survived him, married John Norreys, and died in 1494. — Rev.

Saunders, a professional genealogist, observes that the ancestry of Matthew Howard is unknown. [1] Sharon Doliante [2] estimates that Matthew Howard Sr. was probably born at least by 1610. A 1609 birthdate is consistent with estimation from later events. Matthew had a wife and more than one child in Virginia in 1635. Assume that in that year there were two children, aged 2 and 4, thus born in 1633 and 1631. Then assume a date of marriage to Ann of 1630, and that Matthew was 21 at the time. He would then have been born in 1609. Since Jamestown, Virginia was only settled two years earlier in 1607 and there is no record of a Howard family having a son in the early days of the colony, it may be assumed that Matthew Howard was born somewhere in England. In 1624 a Matthew Hayward was a close neighbor of Edward and Cornelius Lloyd in Lower Norfolk County Virginia. [3]. However, Matthew Howard was not listed among those persons living in Virginia at the time of the "Muster" of 1624/1625. Matthew Howard married, possibly about 1635, Ann, last name unknown, whose transportation into Virginia he claimed in 1638 -- probably having brought her to Virginia himself. [4] Sharon Doliante notes that Ann was first mentioned in Virginia records on May 26, 1638, with no further known reference to her after July 6, 1640. Doliante estimates that Ann, wife of Matthew Howard, had died only shortly before the children came to Maryland, in 1659. [4] "There appears to have been some degree of relationship between Matthew and/or Ann, his wife, and the brothers Cornelius and Edward Lloyd / Edward Lloyd (who came from the Severn River area of Wales) and also between them and Richard Hall - all parties of Lower Norfolk Co.) [5] The Lloyds and Richard Hall were persons of some importance in early Virginia. [5] Warfield adds that "Edward and Cornelius Lloyd were near neighbors in Virginia in 1635 of Matthew Howard and Ann his wife. The latter named his son Cornelius in honor of Colonel Cornelius Lloyd Matthew Howard was in Virginia 8 February 1637/38 when he was located in the Upper County of New Norfolk on the western branch of the Elizabeth River. On that date a land patent granted to Robert Taylor, describes Mathew Howard as a neighbor bounding that land grant. [9] Mathew Howard himself received a Grant/Patent for 150 acres, Low. Co. of New Norf, 26 May 1638, due for transporting of his wife Ann and two persons.

He was likely born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland around 1660, the son of Samuel Howard and his wife Katherine Warner. He was left a legacy of the plantation where he was living, plus his fathers current dwelling place in the will of his father Philip was married about 1690 to a woman named Sarah whose last name has not been proved. They were the parents of the following children who are named in a deed dated 28 JAN 1703/04 in which Sarah Howard, the relict of Philip Howard, conveyed land to them by deed of gift before she married her second husband Samuel Howard b. abt. 1693 James Howard b. abt. 1695 Comfort Howard b. abt. 1697 Priscilla Howard b. abt. 1702 & bapt. 29 JUN 1708 [3] Rachel Howard b. abt. 1703 & bapt. 29 JUN 1708[3] |  | Rachel Howard b.1700 JUN 20 d.1764 Spouse: Thomas Philip Hinton | Father: Philip Howard Mother: Sarah Warner | Rachel Howard was born to Philip Howard and Sarah, maiden name unknown about 1690. Following the death of her father in 1704, her mother remarried to Henry Pinkney, and the children moved to his plantation in Middle Neck Hundred. Pinkney was recognized as thier guardian the next year. A 200 acre tract of land called Warners Neck was surveyed and purchased for the children by 1707, as well as another 100 acre tract. A 180 acre claim of Lancasters Plains was similarly held for them. These holdings were maintained by Maj. Joshia Wilson. Pinkney died some time shortly after 1709; he may have been insolvent. Wilson kept the land holdings. Rachels mother worked to support the children. Rachel Howard married Thomas Hinton on August 28, 1718, at St. Anns Parish. The same year, she received the remaining funds from her inheritance from Philip. Daughter of Philip Howard and Sarah (Warner) Howard |  | Robert Howard KNIGHT, OF WIGGENHALL - EAST WINCH AND TENDRING b.1336 d.1388 Spouse: Margaret de Scales | Father: SIR Admiral of the Navy John Howard II Mother: | Notes: charged in 1378 with the abduction of Margery Narford, grand daughter and heir to Alice, Lady Neville. Such was the serious nature of the offence that Howard was not only sent to the Tower but also bound under substantial recognizances to do no harm to Lady Neville and his captor, Sis John Le Strange; furthermore, his case was brought to the attention of Parliament. But such animosity as possibly remained between Strange and Howard did not, in the following year, prevent Richard, earl of Arundel, from having both men act as witnesses to one of his transactions. |  | Robina Howard Spouse: John Barnes | Father: Mother: | |  | Samuel Howard b.1647 Spouse: Catherine Warner | Father: Matthew Howard Sr. Mother: | Saunders estimates that Samuel Howard, son of Matthew Howard and his wife Anne, was born about 1647 [1] in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia [2][3] Mike Marshall seconds this estimate. [4] Samuel Howard is listed fifth in the 1648 Richard Hall will in which he is named to receive "all the tob(acco) that is coming to mee after my debts are payd.omy ld white suite which I nowe have on & one payre of shoes & stockings.

He was an uncle of two of the wives of Henry VIII: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, and played a major role in the machinations behind these marriages. After falling from favour in 1546, he was stripped of the dukedom and imprisoned in the Tower, avoiding execution when the King died. He was released on the accession of Queen Mary I. He aided Mary in securing her throne, setting the stage for alienation between his Catholic family and the Protestant royal line that would be continued by Queen Elizabeth I." |  | Thomas Howard 1ST VISCOUNT HOWARD OF BINDON b.1520 d.1582 | Father: 3rd Duke of Norfolk Thomas Howard Mother: Duchess of Norfolk Elizabeth Stafford | |  | Thomas Howard 4TH DUKE OF NORFOLK b.1536 MAR 10 d.1572 | Father: Earl of Surrey Henry Howard Mother: | an English nobleman and politician. He was a second cousin of Queen Elizabeth I and held many high offices during the earlier part of her reign. Thomas was born on 10 March 1536 (although some sources cite his birth in 1538)[1][2] at Kenninghall, Norfolk, being the first or second of five children of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, and his wife Lady Frances de Vere. His paternal grandparents were Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and Lady Elizabeth Stafford. His maternal grandparents were John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford, and Lady Elizabeth Trussell. His siblings were Jane born in 1533 or 1537, Henry born in 1540, Katherine born in 1543, and Margaret born in 1547, shortly after of his fathers execution.[3] Between his maternal and paternal families, the religious differences were notable: his maternal grandfather was a supporter of the Reformation and was the first Protestant earl of Oxford, whereas his paternal grandfather was the premier Roman Catholic nobleman of England although he had complied with the changes in the governance of the Church of England brought about by Henry VIII, and served the King in suppressing rebellion against those changes. |  | William Howard "WILLIAM OF WIGGENHALL" SIR KNIGHT JUSTICE OF COMMON PLEAS b.1242 d.1308 Spouse: Alice Fitton | Father: Mother: | HOWARD, Sir WILLIAM (d. 1308), judge, was perhaps the son of John Howard of Wiggenhall, Norfolk (living 1260), by Lucy, daughter of John Germund. The family, which was probably of Saxon origin, belonged to the class of smaller gentry, and was settled in the neighbourhood of Lynn, Norfolk. The name Howard, Haward, or Hayward, is said to have been compounded of haye (hedge) and ward (warden), and to have denoted originally an officer whose principal duty it was to prevent trespass on pasture-land. Howard was counsel to the corporation of Lynn, and appears as justice of assize for the northern counties in 1293, and was in the following year commissioner of sewers for the north-west of Norfolk. He was summoned to parliament as a justice in 1295, and on 11 Oct. 1297 was appointed a justice of the common pleas. In the following year he purchased Grancourts manor, East Winch, near Lynn, where he had his principal seat. In 1305, and again in 1307, he was one of the commissioners of trailbaston. He must have died or retired in the summer or autumn of 1308, the patent of his successor, Henry le Scrope, being dated 27 Nov. in that year. In or about the reign of Henry VII a figure of him kneeling in his robes with the legend Pray for the soul of William Howard, chief justice of England, was inserted in one of the stained-glass windows in the church of Long Melford, Suffolk. He does not seem, however, to have held the office of chief justice (Dugdale, Orig. 44, Chron.
