DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Howell or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Howell:
According to the England project that covers those three profiles, the website you cited, ThePeerage, is not considered a reliable source. For Susannah, you also cited a MyHeritage page that is not a source either, but a compilation of trees.
Therefore, since all pre-1700 profiles must have a reliable source for creation, please return to these profiles (and any others you have created using only these as sources) and work on providing reliable sources.
If you need help finding reliable sources, the England Project is a good place to start.
Also, for Susannah, you left the birth and death locations blank. Please try to provide at least a birth or death location estimate rather than leaving both locations blank. This helps disambiguate people since we have a global tree, locations help distinguish one profile of the same name from another. Even a estimate such as a continent, e.g., Europe, is better than blank. Please read more here. You can explain the rationale for your estimate in a = = Research Notes = = section.
For example, in the case of Susannah, based upon her husband being in Ireland, I'd estimate she was born near there, such as in Ireland or England.
Please let me know if you need help with any of these or have questions or need clarification.
Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Hi 4 week member! How is everything going? Any problems? You might be finding duplicate profiles now. For a good explanation of the process see: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/51703/behind-merges-identifying-lowest-numbered-profile-correct . Make sure to check for merges waiting on you by going to FIND (top right link) PENDING MERGES, and sort for those waiting on you. If you complete a merge, be sure to go in and clean up/edit the Biography as ALL information from both profiles are copied. Remove any duplicate fields/information.
If you want updates on names or projects you can add them by going to MY WIKI TREE, NAV HOME PAGE, scroll down to just above your badges to EDIT FOLLOWED SURNAMES. You can add up to 20. Be sure to check out G2G where you can browse/ask/answer questions. Mentor
