      The ancestry of Matthew HOWARD is unknown. One theory of his ancestry, the HOWARD-ARUNDELL theory has been found to have no validity.
      Another theory, the HOWARD-DOUGLAS theory, is that Matthew was a great grandson of Thomas HOWARD and Margaret DOUGLAS (niece of King Henry VIII).
      This theory is also highly improbable. The foundation of Moss' theory rests on a false premise, that does not show a union between the HOWARD and DOUGLAS families as he implied

      5. John HOWARD b. ca. 1645; m. Susanna (NORWOOD) widow of Charles STEVENS; m. Eleanor, widow of John MACCUBIN; d. between 30 Dec. 1695 and 13 May 1696 Anne Arundel County, Maryland
