Family Person

Searched for corroboration of "Raiford" as the maiden name of Martha, wife of William Howell (b. ABT 1720, son of Thomas Howell) and mother of Ralph Howell. Found a "Howell Research Center" descendants page for an unrelated William Howell of Virginia (different children: John and William, not Ralph; spouse explicitly listed as unknown) - not a match. A WikiTree index references a "Martha R. Raiford, abt 1714" managed by researcher Ralph Geer, a plausible age match, but I could not access the individual profile to confirm any link to William Howell or son Ralph. Her existence as a real person is well-supported by the tree's own family structure (named husband, named son) - not a candidate for archiving. The "Raiford" surname remains an unconfirmed but plausible guess; recommend a follow-up look at the WikiTree RAIFORD surname page if access improves.
