He was a younger son of Sir John Maccubbin of Knockdolianin Ayrshire, and a lineal descendant of Kenneth Macalbin (of which thename Maccubbin is a corruption in the Lowlands), first King of allScotland, who d. AD 858. John Maccubbin or Mackubin took up several tracts of land about Annapolisof which were 'Brampton' and 'Wardrope' on South River, 'Timber Neck','Macubins Cove' and 'Hamilton' and settled thereon as a planter; in hiswill he names his wife Elinor as executrix, and leaves his homestead'Bramton' to his eldest son John; he m.

Welsh Call Number: CS71.W442 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. Hismarriage, not until 6 yrs later (1665), indicates that he was then ayoung 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 ofwhom he left 50a. of 'Wordrape' on the north side of South R; and hisson John (clearly his eldest son, b. before July, 1667), to whom hebequeathed, 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. aregiven 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, willof 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 ofJn.1) that he was 'a Scotchman (called Maccubbin in the Lowlands, butwhose name in his native Highlands was MacAlpine), who claimed descentfrom Kenneth II, surnamed MacAlpine, who died in 858, and who, havingunited the Scots and Picts under one sceptre, was the first King of allScotland.' This claim of descent from the royal line of Scotland's Kings,who reigned for 25 generations, seems to have been accepted as authenticby 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 ofdescs. of Jn. Maccubbin1 through his da. Sarah, contented himself withsaying that his Maccubbin forbear was 'a scion of an ancient Scottishfamily.' It is rather strange that the published 'genealogles' are exceptionallyerroneous 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). MissLantz, B. Sun, 6.10.1906: 'Jn. Mccbn., Colonist, m.1 Sarah Hwd. of Samand had Jn., Zach., Wm., Sam and Moses; m.2 Eleanor, believed to beCarroll. and had Sarah., thought by descs. of Jn. to have been the onlychild by his 2d wife, as the other chn. are named in the will of theirgd. 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 asfact), and had Sarah, only child by 2d wf.' 'Abridged compend of AmericanGenealogy' [published 1925] has the faults of the above, or worse (Seepp. 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 thechief 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 thatEliz., 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). Thesefacts established, others follow, viz.: That Jn. McC. m. his 1st wife in1665 (possibly earlier, but not later); That she, if not over 15 or 16 atmarriage, was b. not later than 1650 (c1649), and that her mother (wifeof 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 notd. before her husband remarried. Hence, unless Sam. Hwd. had 2 das. ofthe name Susan, Jn. McC.1 did not m. Susan Howard, as Susan was living in1702, and is named in her father, Saml. Howard's, will of that date. Norwas Jn. McC.'s 1st wf. Sarah Howard of Saml., if 'Founders,' p. 70. iscorrect 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, wasJn. 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 2dhusband, Jn. Howard, Sr. (See wills of her husbands). Sarah Mcbn. was theda. 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). Her1st m.--to Wm. Gth.--was in 1687, not later than Jan. 1687-8, as hereldest 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. byhis 2d wf. This means that Jn. Mcbn.'s Howard wife d. c1670 (the year herlast 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 Moseswere 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 herprs. est; and to Wm. Maccubbin, 'Howard's Thicket,' where he lives--heto release to his other bro. certain land devised him by his father. Thewill appoints Elinor's 'da., Sarah Reynolds,' executrix, and is witnessedby Mary Carroll, Jas. Carroll, Chs. Carroll, Jr., and Chs. Carroll.Following is from the Rent Roll of A. A. Co., p. 67: 'Good Mother'sEndeavor, 285 acres, surveyed 4.23.1698, for Elinor Hwd.--50 acres partthereof being Howard's Thicket entered, and 50 acres more entered by thename of The Woodyard--the remainder is surplus. Poss., Wm. Maccubbin inright of Elinor Howard'--his mother. Note.--The above witnesses to Elinor Howard's will of 1705 were beyonddoubt: Mary Carroll (d. 1742). wf. of Atty. Gen. Charles Carroll; Jas.Carroll (d. 1729) and his bro. Chs. Cll. (will 1724), nephews of theAtty. Gen. (Chs, evidently signing his name 'Junior' to distinguishhimself 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 weresons of his bro. Anthony (Col. Fams. II, Carroll). Dr. Chs. Carroll ofAnnapolis--of another branch of the illustrious Carroll family--was not awitness 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 notcome to Md. until 'about 1715' (Scharf's Hist., v. 2, p. 215). Thus whenElinor Howard made her will (1705), the only known Chs. Carrolls in thiscountry 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 'cousinChs.' (son of the Atty. Gen.) and his 'cousin Dr. Chs. Carroll' wereappointed 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 hisancestors a member of the 'Great House of Ely O'Carroll,' the proof isnot forthcoming that Elinor Maccubbin-Howard was Elinor Carroll of thatfamily. She was in Md. 18 yrs. or more before Atty. Gen. Carroll came, orany others of that fam. (so far as records disclose). That the 4 Carrollssigned her will as witnesses is not proof of relationship: 4 Warfieldswitnessed the will of Maj. Chs. Hammond (1713), who was in no way relatedto them or their wives. Nor is the fact that Atty. Gen. Chs. named hisda. Elinor, any evidence of relationship to Elinor Mcbn. Howard--the da.was evidently named for her gd. mo. Elinor Darnall. The future may provethat Elinor Howard was a Carroll, but it is not genealogy to state as anactual fact what is now merely a surmise. That most trustworthygenealogist, Mr. R. R. Griffith, says in the Introduction of hisgenealogy: 'A long and patient search of the Colonial Records has failedto reveal to us the maiden name of and parentage of Elinor.'
