JOHN MACCUBBIN, IMMIGRANT.
Maccubbin--Howard--(Elinor--).
I. Jn. Maccubbin, the writer's Scotch ancestor, prob. came to Md. in 1659 (or 1659-60), the yr. in wh. he took up "Timber Rock" in A. A. Co. His marriage, not until 6 yrs later (1665), indicates that he was then a young man, b. prob. c1640.
His will, dated 9.21.1685, proved 7.31.1686 (doubtless the year he died), names his wf. Ellenor, exec.; four sons (Sam, Wm., Zachariah and Moses, who were under 18 yrs. of age, that is, b. after July 1667), to each of whom he left 50a. of "Wordrape" on the north side of South R.; and his son John (clearly his eldest son, b. before July, 1667), to whom he bequeathed, without age restriction, 140 acres, "Brampton," on the n. side of South R. (Annap. 4.207, as given in Md. Cal., v. 2). No das. are given in the will, although he had at least 2 das. then living, viz., Eliz. (See Sec. 1, Sam Howard's will, 1702-1703), and Sarah (Sec. 1, will of Jn. Hwd., Sr., 1695-96, and will of Elinor Hwd., 1705-11, below).
"Old Kent," 50 yrs. ago, wrote (p. 150) of Nicholas Maccubbin (gd. son of Jn.1) that he was "a Scotchman (called Maccubbin in the Lowlands, but whose name in his native Highlands was MacAlpine), who claimed descent from Kenneth II, surnamed MacAlpine, who died in 858, and who, having united the Scots and Picts under one sceptre, was the first King of all Scotland." This claim of descent from the royal line of Scotland's Kings, who reigned for 25 generations, seems to have been accepted as authentic by Md. genealogists (See "Founders," 177; Miss Lantz, B. Sun, 6.10.1906; "Marylanders of Royal Blood," B. Sun, 9.23.1906; Col. Fams. IV, Maccubbin). Mr. R. R. Griffith, whose genealogy is composed entirely of descs. of Jn. Maccubbin1 through his da. Sarah, contented himself with saying that his Maccubbin forbear was "a scion of an ancient Scottish family."
It is rather strange that the published "genealogles" are exceptionally erroneous concerning Jn. Maccubbin's marriage and children. Thus, "Founder,s," p. 177: "Jn. Mccbn. m.1 Susan Howard of Sam, and m. Elinor, who was, as I believe, of the fam. of Dr. Chs. Carroll and Jas. Cll.
of A. H. Par., both of whom were wss. to her will in 1711" (1705). Miss Lantz, B. Sun, 6.10.1906: "Jn. Mccbn., Colonist, m.1 Sarah Hwd. of Sam and had Jn., Zach., Wm., Sam and Moses; m.2 Eleanor, believed to be Carroll. and had Sarah., thought by descs. of Jn. to have been the only child by his 2d wife, as the other chn. are named in the will of their gd. fa. Saml. Howard" (only 3 Macubbin chn. are named in this will). Comes now Col. Fams. IV with the same or similar errors: "Jn. Mccbn. m.?? Susan Hwd., da. of Saml. Hwd. and Cath. Warner, and had Jn., Sam., Wm., Zach., Moses and Eliz.; m.2 Elinor Carroll (conjecture now given as fact), and had Sarah, only child by 2d wf." "Abridged compend of American Genealogy" [published 1925] has the faults of the above, or worse (See pp. 50, 192, 381). The facts, with proofs, are as follows:
(1st). Jn. Maccubbin m.1 a da. of Saml. Hwd., by whom he had 3 chn. only, Jn., Saml., and Eliz. (will of Saml. Hwd. Sec. 1). (2d). The above sons, Jn. Jr. and Saml., are named in their father's will above: Jn. as the chief beneficiary, over 18 when the will was made, 9.21.1685; and Saml., as under 18. This proves that Jn. was b. prior to Sep. 21, 1667 (c1666), that Saml., the 2d son, was b. after Sep. 21, 1667 (c1668), and that Eliz., as the 3d and last child by 1st wf., was b. about 1669 or 1670 (confirmed by date of birth of Sarah, the next child, below). (3d). These facts established, others follow, viz.: That Jn. McC. m. his 1st wife in 1665 (possibly earlier, but not later); That she, if not over 15 or 16 at marriage, was b. not later than 1650 (c1649), and that her mother (wife of Saml. Hwd.) must have been at least 16 yrs. older, that is, b. c1633 (See Sec. 1, Saml. Hwd.).
Note--There is no reason to believe that Jn. McCubbin's 1st wf. did not d. before her husband remarried. Hence, unless Sam. Hwd. had 2 das. of the name Susan, Jn. McC.1 did not m. Susan Howard, as Susan was living in 1702, and is named in her father, Saml. Howard's, will of that date. Nor was Jn. McC.'s 1st wf. Sarah Howard of Saml., if "Founders," p. 70. is correct in stating that Sarah m. Peter Porter. It is probable that a. da. of Saml. Howard, whose name is unknown, older than Sarah and Susan, was Jn. Maccubbin's 1st wf. She d. soon after the birth of her only da., Eliz., who, in such case, may well have been given the mother's name.
Jn. Maccubbin m.2 Elinor(???), who survived him and m., as her 2d husband, Jn. Howard, Sr. (See wills of her husbands). Sarah Mcbn. was the da. of Jn. and Elinor, and m.1 Wm. Griffith, immigrant, and m.2 Th. Reynolds (See will of Jn. Hwd., Sr., 1695, in Sec. 1; will of Wm. Gth., 1699, Annap., Book H. fol. 302; will of Elinor Hwd., 1705, below). Sarah's 2d m.--to Th. Reynolds--occurred 11.30.1699 (St. Anne .372). Her 1st m.--to Wm. Gth.--was in 1687, not later than Jan. 1687-8, as her eldest child, Orlando Gth., was b. 10.21.1688 (See Gth. Gen., p. 2). Thus, only 17 yrs. intervened between the birth of Eliz. (c1670), Jn. Mcbn.'s da. by his 1st wf., and the marriage of Sarah (1687), his da. by his 2d wf. This means that Jn. Mcbn.'s Howard wife d. c1670 (the year her last ch. was born), that he m. his 2d wf. Elinor c1670-71 (prob. 1671), and had Sarah, b. 1671 or 1672, and only 15 or 16 yrs. old when she m. Wm, Griffith in 1687. Sarah was thus, unmistakably, the eldest ch. of Jn. Mcbu. and his 2d wf. Elinor, and his other chn., Wm., Zach. and Moses were b. after Sarah, chn. of Elinor, not of the Howard wife.
The will of Elinor Howard (11.10.1705--8.4.1711, Annap. 13.205, Md. Cal. 3) leaves to her gd. chn., Orlando, Sophia, Chs. and Wm. Griffith all her prs. est.; and to Wm. Maccubbin, "Howard's Thicket," where he lives--he to release to his other bro. certain land devised him by his father. The will appoints Elinor's "da., Sarah Reynolds," executrix, and is witnessed by Mary Carroll, Jas. Carroll, Chs. Carroll, Jr., and Chs. Carroll. Following is from the Rent Roll of A. A. Co., p. 67: "Good Mother's Endeavor, 285 acres, surveyed 4.23.1698, for Elinor Hwd.--50 acres part thereof being Howard's Thicket entered, and 50 acres more entered by the name of The Woodyard--the remainder is surplus. Poss., Wm. Maccubbin in right of Elinor Howard"--his mother.
Note.--The above witnesses to Elinor Howard's will of 1705 were beyond doubt: Mary Carroll (d. 1742). wf. of Atty. Gen. Charles Carroll; Jas. Carroll (d. 1729) and his bro. Chs. Cll. (will 1724), nephews of the Atty. Gen. (Chs, evidently signing his name "Junior" to distinguish himself from his uncle); and lastly Chs. Carroll, the Atty. Gen. himself, Agt. and Receiver Gen. of Chs., Lord Baltimore. Chs. Carroll, Atty. Gen. b. 1660, d. 1720; was admitted to the Inner Temple, London, in 1685; arrived in Md. 10.1.1688 and m. (w.2) Mary Darnall, da. of Col. Hy. Darnall (Secretary and kinsman of Lord Baltimore) and his wf. Eleanor (Hatton) Brooke. They had 10 chn., 4 of whom survived the Atty. Gen., viz., Chs. (1702-1782, father of Chs. Carroll of Carrollton), Daniel, Mary and Eleanor. His will, dated 12.1.1718, proved 7.28.1720 (Annap. 16.176), names, with other "Kinsmen," Jas. and Chs. Carroll, who were sons of his bro. Anthony (Col. Fams. II, Carroll). Dr. Chs. Carroll of Annapolis--of another branch of the illustrious Carroll family--was not a witness of Elinor Howard's will of 1705. He was then only 14 yrs. old (b. 1691, d. 9.19.1755), had his medical education to secure, and did not come to Md. until "about 1715" (Scharf's Hist., v. 2, p. 215). Thus when Elinor Howard made her will (1705), the only known Chs. Carrolls in this country were the Atty. Gen., his 3-yr.-old son Chs., and his nephew Chs. (d. 1724), bro. of Jas. When Jas. Carroll made his will (2.12. 1728-9, Annap. 19.791) his uncle Chs. and his bro. Chs. were dead; his "cousin Chs." (son of the Atty. Gen.) and his "cousin Dr. Chs. Carroll" were appointed his executors. The codicil of his will was witnessed by Jn. Welsh (2d), father of Henry O'Neale Welsh, who later m. Mary Higgins, neice of Jas. Carroll and named in his will (See Part I, Sec. 4).
Much as the writer would be pleased to enroll in the list of his ancestors a member of the "Great House of Ely O'Carroll," the proof is not forthcoming that Elinor Maccubbin-Howard was Elinor Carroll of that family. She was in Md. 18 yrs. or more before Atty. Gen. Carroll came, or any others of that fam. (so far as records disclose). That the 4 Carrolls signed her will as witnesses is not proof of relationship: 4 Warfields witnessed the will of Maj. Chs. Hammond (1713), who was in no way related to them or their wives. Nor is the fact that Atty. Gen. Chs. named his da. Elinor, any evidence of relationship to Elinor Mcbn. Howard--the da. was evidently named for her gd. mo. Elinor Darnall. The future may prove that Elinor Howard was a Carroll, but it is not genealogy to state as an actual fact what is now merely a surmise. That most trustworthy genealogist, Mr. R. R. Griffith, says in the Introduction of his genealogy: "A long and patient search of the Colonial Records has failed to reveal to us the maiden name of and parentage of Elinor." She d. 7.10.1711.
