I descend from both Cornelius and Mary Howard. I have a small amount of Hammond and Howard information on one of my web pages: <http://www.tcac.net/~ruthptb/Hammond_Quick_Page.html> Ruth 1 Matthew HOWARD Birth:1590-1600, England Death:1650, Maryland Father:Thomas HOWARD Mother:Ann THROUGHGOOD Laura Hammonds notes: Along with his brothers, Thomas and Frederick who, being younger portionless offspring, had to seek fortunes for themselves. Emigration to America, the Land of Promise, was the order of the day and in company with the family of their mother, who had been Ann Throughgood, they all came to America and to Virginia. Laura also states: Settled in Lower Norfolk Parish, near Portsmouth, Virginia and was granted 150 acres of land there. He left no will (See hotten). His wife and children are mentioned in the will of his brother-in-law, Richard Hall of Portsmouth Virginia 1645. See Maryland Office Land Records at Annapolis, Maryland.
