In 1680 Samuel Howard was appointed one of the overseers of the estate of his brother Capt. Cornelius Howard, with John Hammond, later Major General, as the other.
His will, extant with his signature in a bold hand and a wax seal with a symbolic swan as the subject, was written on Feb 28, 1702/03 by John Hammond Jr. in the presence of John Howard and Andrew Wellsley. It was probated at court in Anne Arundel Co on Nov 9, 1703 "To wife Catherine the unnamed dwelling plantation and "Brushy Neck" during widowhood, in the event of her remarriage, then only her thirds; also negroes and household goods."
Property:
Philip Howard at the death of his father in 1;703, was made the executor of the estate, but he soon became involved in a lawsuit regarding the estate of his maternal grandfather James Warner of South River. James Warner by will left "Warner's Neck" to his daugher, Jane Sewell, with the provisions that it would descend to and remain always in the possession of his heirs. Her husband, James Sewell, sold it to Samuel Howard. This sale was contested by the other Sewell heirs. The court eventually decided in fafor of the convenyance, inasmuch as Samuel Howard by rights of his wife was an heir. At a subsequent rent roll, "Warner's Neck" was in the possession of Henry Pinkney by his marriage to the widow of Philip Howard.
Philip Howard died intestate in 1705. Henry Pinkney, Cornelius Howard, and Joseph Howard were made the guardias of his minor children. Shortly afterwards Henry Pinkney married the Widow Howard.
