NOTES: Lind. Various Howard descendants have tried mightily to find a connection between the Howards who emigrated to the Virginia Colony and the Howards, Dukes of Norfolk. Tempting bits of evidence have been found which have been used to bolster the connection, notably the use of the Howard coat of arms from a signet ring, found on the will of of John Howard. (William & Mary Quarterly, Volume 26: "Discovery of the Coat of Arms of the Howard Family of Virginia and Maryland," by Francis B. Culver). However, as R. Saunders points out, there is no evidence whatsoever that Matthew Howard, the emigrant, ever used the Norfolk Howard seal or arms in any manner or cause. Then as now, he reminds us, the rampant, illegal use of arms was common in America and in England, in an attempt to bolster one's prestige and status among the community.
