However, he probably never claimed this property.  The “Rent Rolls”, p.60 
(Rent Rolls A & B #1, f. 60, Microfilm SR4376, Maryland Hall of Records) 
states:  “650 acres, Howard Sur: 3 July 1650 for Mathew Howard on ye South 
side of Severn River.  I doe not find this Land was ever Pattented but ye 
Survey supposed to be altered by Howard into others.”
