If RichardHowell were the son of William Hallock's wife in 1675, he could not be married to a daughter of William Hallock, as his first wife, as this woman would be his half-sister, UNLESS this wife was a daughter of William Hallock from a wife previous to Margaret (____).
If RichardHowell were the son-in-law of William Hallock as we use the term today, the first wife of RichardHowell could have been ANY of William Hallock's daughters, as we do not know her first name.
