I did a little looking in some of the old Comptonology that I have and found the following.
In will book 8 page 421, Charles Co., Md. list these children of Mathew and Rachel Compton; Zachariah, Mathew, John, Alexander, Edmund, Howard, Margaret, Elizabeth, Susann md. Turner, William, Wilder, and Stephen.
Also in another Vol. it list a Dr. Z. J Compton b. 1801, d1866 as the son of E. Howard Compton and Elizabeth Yates.
Hope this will help.

From Sarah Browder: In 1957 Bible in possession of Keith Compton, Clayton, NC, will 1770 St. Mary's Co, MD, another family Bible in poss. of Jane Harrison Clagett; deeded land by father in 1737; on 25 May 1754 Matthew Compton, planter and wife, Rachel, conveyed to MatthewMartain (all of Charles Co) for 7123 pounds of tobacco a portion of tract known as "Gisborough", land passed down to Comptons by Margaret Dent, daughter of Thomas Dent of St. Mary's Co, who married Edmund Howard 26 may 1681, then of Somerset but later of Charles Co; they being grandparents of Rachel Howard Compton, the land lying in Charles Co being 156 acres.

(Vol. 2, #1191)
He received certain land grants 1733 in Charles Co, Maryland.
________
1733, Dec 15: will of William Stevens Howard, planter, Charles County, gave to daughter Rachel, wife of Mathew Compton, personalty. [This does seem be referring to Matthew Compton Jr, since in the will of Matthew Compton, 1770, St Mary's Co, he names, among others, his wife Rachel. He left to Barton, Alex. and Edmund H, dwelling plantation of "Wornout", son Stephen a portion of that property, estate divided equally between Matthew, John, Susannah, Barton, Alex., and Edmund H. Witnesses were Robert Slye Wood and Henry Morris and Samuel Briscoe.

Charles County Court Records, August 1741 Court, Liber T#2, Page 243.
Pursuant to the order of last Aug CC Court, Commission issued on Aug 16, 1740 to Saml Hanson Jr, William Eilbeck, Wm McFerson Sr, Richard Gambra of CC, Gent (not being any way related to the petitioner, contiguous proprietor, nor interested in sd land), to examine witnesses touching the bounds of a tract of land in CC called Guisborough in possession of Matthew Compton Jr.
And now here, Richard Gambra and William McFerson, return to this Court the Commission with the following certificate & the subsequent deposition -
We hereby certify that on Mar 30, 1741, we met on the premises within mentioned, and took 1 deposition relating to the bounds of the within land. Signed - Richard Gambra, Will'm McFerson.

Will dated February 1770, refers to his land called "Worncoat," which he specifically leaves to wife Rachel during her widowhood, leaving his entire estate to her "unless she marry." He provides that the land shall fall to son Stephen if he has heirs; if not, to Matthew if he has heirs; if not, to John, if he has heirs; or to Barton,, or to Alexander, or to Edmund Howard, whichever has heirs. The will shows that of his six children three are under age and neighter of the other three had children at the time of the making of the will. Matthew Compton signed his will in his own hand before witnesses: Robert Slye Wood, Henry Moris, and Saml. Briscoe. The probate was made in St. Mary's Co on the 3rd day of Sep 1770 in the presence of Rachel Compton, the widow, and the three witnesses. No son Zachariah was named in the will.

He signed a will in Feb 1770-12 Sep 1770 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland, USA. Mathew Compton wife Rachel "Worncout" residence, sons Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard, Stephen, Mathew & John, Mathew Compton St.to Six Children Barton Alexander Compton, Edmund Howard Compton, Stephen, Mathew, John, Susannah Compton.
Tract Worncoat. Wit Robert Slye Wood, Henry Morris, Samuel Briscoe. Widow Abides by Will.
Matthew Compton's will dated Sep 23, 1770, leaves his whole estate to his wife Rachel Compton, "unless she marry." If this should be the case, then instructions were left for the estate to be divided as follows: Children, Sons: Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard Compton, to son Stephen, if he die without heir the to John then to Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard

Mathew* married Rachel* Howard on 31 Dec 1731 in Trinity Parish, Charles Co, Maryland. Rachel* (daughter of William* Stevens Howard and (dau?) Elizabeth* Douglass(?), (dau?)) was born in 1714 in Calvert Co, Maryland; died on 25 Dec 1789 in Charles Co, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Other-Begin: 15 Dec 1733, Charles Co, Maryland; father's will

Notes:

William Stevens Howard's will 1733: To daughter Rachel wife of Mathew COMPTON personalty. Residue of estate after wife's thirds are deducted, to four young children: viz. William, Elizabeth, Susannah, & Sarah. Test. Benjamin DOUGLASS, Sr. Philip JENKINS, Benjamin DOUGLAS Jr. [L21f55].

The mother of Rachel Howard needs more investigation. William Stevens' brother Thomas was married to an Elizabeth Douglass. William Stevens' first wife was apparently Elizabeth Douglass. The Elizabeth who was married to Thomas was a widow d was married to Thomas in 1714, so she apparently is not one and the same with the Elizabeth Douglass who was the first wife of William Stevens Howard. Sarah Briscoe's first husband died in 1717, but it's possible they had divorced rather than she being widowed. In William Stevens will he left legacy to 4 young children and Rachel, wife of Mathew Compton. Since Rachel was already married and he had 4 young children, assumption is that Rachel was the child of his first wife.


Other-Begin:
Heir: 15 Dec 1733-29 Apr 1734, Charles Co., Maryland, USA. William Stevens HOWARD, planter, Charles Co., MD 15 Dec.1733-29 Apr. 1734. ..." To daughter Rachel wife of Mathew COMPTON personalty."...

Rachel married Mathew COMPTON Sr., son of Matthew COMPTON and Susannah BRISCOE, on 31 Dec 1731 in Trinity Parish, Charles Co., Maryland, USA.
