As I was reading some posts on ancestry.com, I found one which I believe confirms that @Lord Edward Francis Howard (1640-1722), commonly known as just Francis Howard, was definitely NOT the son of Earl Henry Frederick Howard and Elizabeth Stuart. The writer of this post had come across a book available on google called "The Life of Philip Thomas Howard OP, Cardinal of Norfolk" written by Charles Ferrers Raymund Palmer. Philip was a son of Earl Henry and Elizabeth. In the book Palmer talks about how Philip's brother, who was named Francis, joined Holy Orders and died in Geele, Belgium in 1683. It talks in great detail on pages 117 and 118 in Chapter 5 about Philip's brother, Francis. This Francis is obviously totally different than our american Francis who married Mary Chowan and fathered @James Obediah Howard and @Thomas A. Howard. The grandfather of James and Thomas was NOT the Earl. Unless I am missing something, some necessary corrections and separations need to be made to this geni profile. Thanks. Charles.
