There is no proof or source that records John had another wife from Mary Catherine Sanders. This is not the John Howard married to Frances Denson. Please read his entire original will. Do not add other spouses for John without providing irrefutable evidence.
-
Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch Do not merge with the other John in this family, LY45-L57 . One of these men is clearly misplaced. Father James mentions son John in his will. The John Howard L89R-SN3 names his wife, Mary, and his children in his own will, and bequeaths land similar in description to that which was given by James. I think this is likely the correct John for this family.

James Howard will transcription
-
James has a tremendous amount of land and property divided in this will comprising seven pages. It is difficult to read in places due to folding and tearing of the paper, but it is mostly legible.
WILL OF JAMES HOWARD:[1]
-
In the name of God, Amen. James Howard of Bertie precinct in North Carolina. This sixth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twenty nine being sick in body but of sound & perfect memory Praise be given to God for the same and recognizing the uncertainty of this mortal life here on earth And willing to settle his worldly things in order that no lawsuits about the same may hereafter arise Do make this my last will & testament in manner following viz--- [Two lines unreadable due to fold in page]...Savior and redeemer Jesus Christ and my body to [...] be buried in a Christian manner. And for my worldly affects [...] the Lord Almighty hath sent me. My will & meaning is that I revoke and make said all wills & testaments by me formerly made and declare this being my last will & testament.

Containing about three hundred acres of land and also half of it ground, & all the buildings and thereto belonging to it.

And for want of such lawful heirs I give & bequeath the land et viz remainder and possession of the land unto my son EDWARD and to his heirs lawfully begotten of his body forever. and for want of such heirs I give and bequeath the afs land et unto y son JOHN and to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten forever.

Fact: Regarding citation of Warren County NC Records Vol I and II, these are will abstracts only, naming John Howard and the executors Elisha Simms and Julius Howard. The will referenced is already in the source box fully transcribed.
Fact: No source given that proves parents are James Obadiah Howard and Sarah Titus They should be removed from the tree until such sourcing is available. No real proof that this is the son John Howard referred to in James Howard's will. There is not a second element of truth. More research and proof is needed here, such as the sale or transfer of the land left to him by his father .
