The Howard Family Crest

The descendants of Sir Henry Howard of England claim a common origin with the Howards, Dukes of Norfolk. The third son of Sir Henry married a Miss Rebecca Ownings. And from this marriage are issued the Howards known as the Howards of Baltimore and Washington. In Ryker's History of Newtown we find mentioned a William Howard, who came over to Long Island, N. Y., in 1660, and reached the age of one hundred. Other Howards, descending from a tailor at Aylesford, county Kent, England, settled in New England (1632-1696). We give here the arms borne by the first-mentioned family of Howard.
