- Pure speculation here, but John Howard m a widow, Susannah Stevens. Knowing Edmund* Howard was at least "connected" to 'William Stevens" to the point of inheritance from William Stevens and Edmund naming his son for him, also knowing that Edmund* used the Howard seal, thereby he was from this distinguished family of Howards, it is logical that "Mrs Stevens" was a widow of some member of William Stevens' family. Whether she was a sister-in-law to William Stevens or some other connection is not known; but for a direction of research, it doesn't seem to far afield to place her as such.
Following that logic, John Howard must be a close connection to Edmund. Many on the Internet place Edmund as a brother to John, son of Matthew Howard; but Matthew immigrated c 1630 to Norfolk, Virginia where his 8 children were born, all documented and none named Edmund. and Edmund was born in England in 1659.

John was a surveyor who owned three tracts of land in Maryland: 92 acres at the head of Round Bay, Severn River; 200 acre called "Timber Neck" at the mouth of the Whetstone in what later became part of Baltimore City and one-half of a 200 acre tract, lying on Little Falls.
"Howard's Interest" (no acres noted) is listed under John's name in Lord Baltimore's rent roll for Anne Arundel Co, dated 28 Jan 1662. This land became the plantation home for John and his family. Like most plantations, Howard's Interest had its own burial ground which became the final resting place of John and several of his family. The property, situated near Round Bay on the Severn River, adjoined the plantations of his brothers Capt Cornelius Howard of "Howard's Hardship and Chance" and Samuel Howard of "Howard's Hope".

John Howard, b. 1635, d. 1696.
He also married the Widow Maccubin.
John Howard was apparently the thrifty member of the family, for instead of immigrating like his brothers he allowed himself to be transported and consequently saved the cost of the passage of himself and his movable goods from Virginia to Maryland. He became a convert to the Quaker faith and consequently did not distinguish himself in military service as did his brothers. He was the only one of the second generation to marry twice - both wives being widows. If issues resulted from these marriages only one son, John, of the first union matured. He married between the years 1664-1665, Susannah, who was the widow of Charles Stephens. The family name of Susannah is unknown, but the fact that she was made an heir in the will of Captain John Norwood may be a clue to a possible relationship.
