MACOMBER 
 
 The tradition is current in almost all the branches of the 
 Macomber family that their first American ancestors were of 
 Scotch origin. Hence some, after the family had been a century 
 and a half or more in America, changed the spelling of the name 
 to McComber, McCumber, McOmber and McUmber. There is 
 evidence, however, that the ancestors knew how to spell their 
 name when they came to this country, and they spelled it Macom- 
 ber, as many signatures witness. 
 
 How was the name pronounced? The records of Plymouth 
 Colony for fifty years have the name "Maycumber," and so it has 
 been pronounced to this day by the descendants of John Macom- 
 
 t\°/ I > Upt ° n - Man y of the descendants of William Macomber 
 of Marshfield, pronounce the name Mac'-om-ber. This may have 
 been suggested by the supposed Scotch origin, Mac, son of Com- 
 ber, Kumber, or Umber. 
 
 Some have wanted a coat-of-arms and have been easily satis- 
 fied with one supplied by the artists. An artist in Troy N Y 
 some years ago got up a coat-of-arms to order, a blue shield with 
 a yellow cross of St. George. The crest was a cat sejant, with 
 the motto, "Touch not the cat bot a glove." The shield had as 
 supporters the flags of Scotland and of the United States, and 
 the astonishing statement was made by the artist, that the coat- 
 of-arms was granted in the year 1004 for distinguished services 
 to the King of Scotland and that the first of the Macomber name 
 was a crusader. This clumsy forgery needs no refutation. The 
 crest is that of the family McCombie. It is not worth while to 
 determine where the "artist" stole the rest of it. 
 
 Under date of 3 Apr., 1882, Charles A. Macomber of Cochesett 
 Mass., wrote to Chandler F. Macomber of West Chesterfield' 
 Mass., as follows: ' 
 
 It is now thirty-five or more years, since I became acquainted 
 with a gentleman from England, an artist, who for a favor 
 bestowed copied from one of the many books he owned on Her- 
 
5 MACOMBER GENEALOGY 
 
 aldry the Macomber coat-of-arms, which he presented to me. As 
 an explanation for the drawing the following words were printed, 
 —'The family of Macomber is stated by McPherson, in his his- 
 tory of the Clans, to be of the McKonnochie branch of the clan of 
 Campbells. Archibald Campbell McKonnochie of Komber saved 
 the life of King Robert the Second of Scotland by shooting an 
 arrow through the head of a wild boar, then attacking him, when 
 the king gave him the Crest the family bear in memory of the 
 act, and the family changed the name to Macomber." 
 
 The arms were described as follows: "Arms, Argent, three 
 dexter hands couped at the wrist, holding bunches of arrows, all 
 proper, in chief, and in base the Imperial Crown of Scotland. 
 Crest, a boar's head erased, having an arrow through it, of the 
 proper colors. The arms are surrounded by a bordure of those 
 of Campbell, viz.— gyrony of eight, Or and Sable. Motto, He 
 hath sent and he hath rewarded." 
 
 This coat-of-arms has been widely copied, the only change 
 being the substitution of a Latin motto. His nitimur et munitur, 
 perhaps the original of the attempted translation above. If any- 
 one will take the trouble to look in "An Ordinary of Arms Con- 
 tained in the Public Register of All Arms and. Bearings in Scot- 
 land," by James Balfour Paul, Edinburgh, 1893, it will there be 
 seen' that the above coat-of-arms belongs to the Maconochie fam- 
 ily of Meadowbank and that it dates from 18 19. A score of fam- 
 ilies have a boar's head for a crest. This "artist," too, has stolen 
 a coat-of-arms' from one family and a crest with slight modifi- 
 cation from another. The combination he has sent to the Macom- 
 bers of the United States as the arms of their ancestor, with a 
 fanciful story about Robert the Second, who died in the year 
 
 1390. 
 
 As for McPherson's History of the Clans, I can find no evi- 
 dence that any such book ever existed. There is a McPherson's 
 "Sketches of the Clans," published some years after the artist 
 wrote the above. It says nothing whatever about the Macomber 
 family, neither can I find the name in any book of heraldry found 
 in the libraries of Boston, or in the British Museum, London. It 
 is reasonable to conclude that the Macomber family never had a 
 coat-of-arms. It has gotten along in America very well without 
 such an emblem of aristocratic rank. 
 
MACOMBER GENEALOGY 7 
 
 The evidence is convincing that William and John Macomber 
 came from Devonshire, England, or vicinity, along with the other 
 settlers of Plymouth and Bristol Counties, Mass. The emigrants 
 brought with them the very names of the towns from which 
 they came, Plymouth, Taunton, Tiverton, Dartmouth, Falmouth, 
 Barnstable, Truro, Weymouth, Plympton, Bridgewater, Dorches- 
 ter, all found in the southwestern part of England. Historians 
 tell us that there were no Scotch nor Irish among those first set- 
 tlers. The parish registers of Devonshire would probably tell 
 much about the Macomber family. From the few books accessi- 
 ble I have gleaned the following interesting items. 
 
 Sept. 14, 161 1, Thomas Macumber of St. Martin, Exeter, and 
 Thomasine Staplehill of St. Stephen in the said city. See Mar- 
 riage Licenses of the Diocese of Exeter, p. 24. 
 
 John Force of the city of Exeter, gent, bachelor, about 24, and 
 Anne Macomber, of same, spinster, about 22, her parents dead — 
 at Harpford or Ailesboro, said County Devon, 24 Dec. 1667. — 
 See London Marriage Licenses. 
 
 Harpford and Aylesboro are small villages, near the fine 
 church of Ottery St. Mary, about eight or nine miles easterly 
 from Exeter. 
 
 John Adams of Staverton licensed, Nov. 27, 1615, to marry 
 Thomasine Macombe. — Marriage licenses of Exeter, Eng. p. 47. 
 
 Nov. 6, 1676, George Stoning of the city of Exeter, grocer, 
 bachr, about 28, and Elizabeth Macumber of the same, spr, about 
 25, at own disp. alleged by Edward Willoughly of St. Sepulchre's, 
 Cornhill, London, Druggist, at St. Peter's, St. Davis, or St. Paul, 
 in the city of Exeter. — See Allegations for Marriage Licenses 
 issued by the Vicar General of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 
 published by the Harleian Society, p. 101. 
 
 The Calendar of Devonshire Wills shows that Thomas Macom- 
 ber of Exeter made his will in 1697. 
 
 It has been learned through a genealogist in Devonshire that 
 the inventory of Thomas Macomber of Exeter was recorded in 
 1621. He left a widow Jane. "He was a grocer in a large way 
 of business, leaving property in Ireland." — "I found a family of 
 Meacomb and Macomber in the vicinity of Ashburton and Totnes. 
 The dates range from 1590 to 1630 and the names are Walter, 
 Christopher, Gregory, Margaret and Edmund." 
 
8 MACOMBER GENEALOGY 
 
 These items point to Devonshire, England, as the home of the 
 ancestors of the Macomber family in America. The spelling of 
 the name was there as well as here, Macomber and Macumber. 
 
 It is noticeable that Thomasine Macombe, widow probably of 
 Thomas Macumber, married John Adams. Combe in old English 
 means a valley and is a very frequent termination of surnames 
 and names of places in Devonshire. There may have been a 
 Maycombe, just as there was a May Hill and a Mayfield. Indeed 
 a place called Maycomb is found in Wexford, Ireland. A place 
 called Maycombe, Macombe, may have given origin to the sur- 
 name Maycombe, Macombe, Maycomber, Macomber, Macumber. 
 The Macombers may have originated in some place called May 
 Valley. 
 
 Others insist that the name is of Scotch origin and that some 
 migration carried the name into Devonshire. I am informed that 
 Harry Alfred Long's Personal and Family Names, published by 
 John Menzie & Co., Edinburgh, 1883, derives the names McComb, 
 McCombe, McCoombe, McComber, and McCumber from the 
 Gaelic ''Ornish" (Thomas) and that other forms of the same name 
 are McOmish, McTavish and McTanse. A Memoir of the 
 Families of McCombie and Thorns, originally Mcintosh and 
 McThomas, by William McCombie Smith, Edinburgh, 1890, 
 says that McThomie, McHomie, McOmie, McOmish, McOmy, 
 McComie, McCombie and Thorns, McThomas and Mcintosh, all 
 are names used to designate members of the same clan. Anti- 
 quarians seem to agree that the Mcintosh clan are a branch of the 
 clan Chattan and that the McCombie family are a branch of the 
 clan Mcintosh, taking its rise in the latter half of the fourteenth 
 century. It is claimed that the founder of the clan Mcintosh was 
 Shaw McDuff, second son of the fifth Earl of Fife, who dis- 
 tinguished himself in quelling a rebellion among the Moray tribes 
 against Malcolm IV., about the years 1 161-63. 
 
 In 1904 Dove, Lockhart and Smart, lawyers of Edinburgh, 
 wrote to Charles Sumner Macomber, lawyer of Ida Grove, Iowa, 
 as follows : 
 
 Judging from your name we should say you were undoubtedly 
 a Scot by origin. The name "Macomber," in its various 
 forms, "McCoombe," "McCumber," "Macomber," "McOmish," 
 "McCombie" is well known here. As you are no doubt aware 
 
MACOMBER GENEALOGY g 
 
 it is claimed (and the claim we believe is generally admitted) that 
 the Macombers are a branch of the clan Mcintosh— also some- 
 times called the Shaws. The branch was founded by Shaw 
 McDuff, second son of the fifth Earl of Fife. As you are also 
 no doubt aware the clan Mcintosh was one of the clans which 
 took part in the memorable duel on the North Inch of Perth 
 Vide Scott's "Fair Maid of Perth," where they are designated the 
 "Clan Chattan." You will also see in Scott's "Waverly" that 
 a scion of the clan, "Evan Dhu Maccombish," is one of the lead- 
 ing personages. 
 
3ol)tt 5tfcacomber of Taunton 
 
 AND HIS DESCENDANTS 
 
 The old tradition concerning "three brothers" who came to 
 America seems to be verified in the case of the Macombers, for 
 \J/iniam was in Duxbury in 1638; Thomas in Plymouth in 1643; 
 and John in Taunton in 1643. No descendants of Thomas have 
 been found. Those of William are numerous. The descendants 
 of John are t raced her e. 
 
 John Macomber was admitted as a freeman and enrolled in the 
 militia of Taunton in 1643. He was granted permis- 
 sion to build a mill in Taunton in 1659. There were then four 
 persons in his family, and there is no record of more. The name 
 of his first wife has not been learned. He married, 7 Jan. 1686, 
 as his second wife, Mary Babcock. He was in a military com- 
 pany in 1680. He was living in 1687, as shown by a deed. 
 Another deed shows that he died before 1690. He was a car- 
 penter by trade. His property was equally divided between a 
 daughter, Mary Staples, and a son, John Macomber. 
 
 John Macomber, 2d, signed a deed with his father in 1672, 
 showing that he was then of age. He served in military com- 
 panies in 1680 and 1700 and also in Queen Anne's War in 1691. 
 He married, 16 July 1678, Anna Evans, daughter of William and 
 Ann (Hailstone) Evans of Taunton. 
 
 William Evans was enrolled in the militia of Taunton in 1643 
 and took the oath of fidelity there in 1657. He married Ann 
 Hailstone, probably daughter of William Hailstone, who was one 
 of the first purchasers of Taunton in 1637 and was living there 
 in 1672. The inventory of the estate of William Evans was made 
 16 Sept. 1 67 1. He left daughters Mary and Anna. 
 
 June 28, 1723, John Macomber, "oldest of that name in Taun- 
 ton," and Anna his wife sold to their son Thomas land in Taun- 
 ton on "Mill River," — See County Records at Taunton, XVI.51. 
 
 Jan. 5, 1724-5, Anna Macomber, "for good cause," sold to her 
 son Thomas land in Taunton. Her husband was then dead. 
 
MACOMBER GENEALOGY II 
 
 The rights of her grandsons, Abiel and William, are protected in 
 this deed. See Deeds at Taunton, XVI.52. 
 
 July 7, 1725, Anna Macomber, widow, sold to her son Thomas 
 all undivided lands descended to her from her father, William 
 
 Evans deceased and. from her mother Ann Hailstone deceased. 
 
 See Deeds at Taunton, XVI. 178. 
 
 March 20, 1681, Mary and Anna Evins, heirs of William Evins 
 deceased, sold land to J. French for sixty pounds. Following 
 the date the deed says, "It is always to be understood that though 
 the abovesaid Anna is Anna Macomber by her marrying of John 
 Macomber, Jr., but when this abovesaid bargaine was made her 
 name was Anna Evins." See Deeds at Taunton, XXVII. 128. 
 
 Jan. 29, 1700- 1, John Macomber, "son of John Macomber late 
 of Taunton deceased," sold land to Nathan Walker.— See deeds 
 at Taunton, XVI. 326. 
 
 Dec. 6, 1 72 1, John Macomber sold to his son Samuel for £300 
 the house that Samuel was living in, also other lands except one 
 tract lying within the bounds of said lands known as the "old 
 Beaver dam," also one-half his right in the saw mill on said land, 
 also "| of a purchase right in the old township of Taunton," also 
 one-half his right in Middleboro 16 shilling purchase. See 
 Deeds at Taunton, XIV.84. 
 
 Feb. 15, 1724-5, John Macomber and Samuel Macomber quit- 
 claimed to Thomas Macomber all right to their father John 
 Macomber's property other than that which he had given them 
 by deed. See Deeds at Taunton, XVI.47. 
 
 The will of John Macomber is dated 22 Jan. 172 1-2 and was 
 probated 21 Oct. 1725. In it he names wife, children Thomas, 
 John, William and Samuel, and grandchildren Abiel, William, 
 Anna and Sarah. John Macomber is mentioned as deceased in a 
 deed dated 5 Jan. 1724-5. His four sons lived in Taunton.

 Thomas Macomber (John 2 , John 1 ), born 30 July 1679, was 
 a physician in Taunton, Mass. July 8, 1736, Thomas Macomber 
 of Taunton deeded to his oldest son, Stephen, land at "Neck of 
 Land," also his homestead on Mill River and a lot in Pine 
 Swamp. His will, dated 7 June 1766, was probated 26 Feb. 1770. 
 It names wife Mary and children Stephen, John, James, Mercy 
 Willis, and Hannah Woodward. "Old Granny Macomber" died 
 in Taunton 3 April 1775.

 John Macomber (John 2 , John 1 ), born, 18 March 1681 in 
 Taunton, was impressed as a soldier in Queen Anne's War 22 
 Dec. 1 70 1, and again 26 June 171 1. He married (1) 17 March 
 1707, Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Rogers) 
 Williams, who was born in Taunton 18 April 1686, and died 2 
 May 1732. She was granddaughter of Richard Williams, called 
 the "Father of Taunton," whose wife was Frances, daughter of 
 John and Jane (Basset) Deighton ; also granddaughter of John 
 and Ann (Churchman) Rogers and great-granddaughter of 
 Thomas Rogers who came in the Mayflower. 
 
 John Macomber married (2), 12 July 1733, in Raynham, 
 Mass., Mrs. Lydia (King) Williams, widow of Nathaniel Wil- 
 liams. She died 31 March 1748. John Macomber died in 
 Taunton, Mass., 14 Dec. 1747. 
 
 His will, dated 28 Dec. 1742, was probated 5 April 1748. It 
 names wife Lydia and children Nathaniel, Josiah, John, James, 
 Elijah, Joseph, Elizabeth Rounsevill, Abia and Anna. His son 
 Elijah inherited the homestead in East Taunton.

 J an - 5> l 7?>2, John Macomber of Taunton deeded to his son 
 Nathaniel one-third of his home farm, one corner being at the 
 saw mill. The same day he gave to son Josiah one-third of the 
 same farm. The burial ground, where rest the early generations 
 of Macombers, is on Staples Street not far from the Macomber 
 farm. 
 
 The record of the family of John Macomber has been pre- 
 served in a branch of his descendants now living in Augusta, 
 Maine. It was, perhaps, copied from the records of Taunton 
 before they were destroyed by fire in 1848. His children, all by 
 the first marriage, were : 
 
 10. Nathaniel b. 9 Feb. 1709; m. Priscilla Southworth. 
 
 11. Josiah b. 19 Feb. 171 1 ; m. Ruth Paul. 
 
 12. John b. 10 Feb. 1713; m. Elizabeth Phinney.

 William Macomber (John 2 , John 1 ), born in Taunton 31 Jan. 
 1683; married, 3 January 1705-6, Sarah Holloway. He was 
 impressed as a soldier 7 June 171 1. He died about 1715, and 
 there is no later record of his wife. His father's will names four 
 children of his son William, viz., Abiel, William, Anna and Sarah. 
 Dec. 3, 1760, there was a division of land left by Elizabeth Wil- 
 liams, wife of Jonathan Williams and daughter of Thomas Leon- 
 ard, Esq., late of Taunton, between her children, one of whom 
 was Abiah, wife of Abiel Macomber. — See Deeds at Taunton, 
 XLVII.17. 
 
 March 20, 1730-1, Sarah Macomber, daughter of William 
 Macomber deceased, above fourteen years of age, chose her 
 brother Abiel for guardian to act in settlement of her father's 
 estate and of her brother William's estate, who died intestate 
 without issue. 
 
14 MACOMBER GENEALOGY 
 
 Sept. 8, 1735, Jonathan Hoar petitioned the court to appoint 
 a guardian for his daughter Anna, who was then seven years 
 old and had a claim on the estate of John Macomber through her 
 mother. 
 
 The children of William and Sarah (Holloway) Macomber 
 were: 
 
 Abiel m. 3 May 1733, Abiah, dau. of Jonathan and Eliza- 
 beth (Leonard) Williams. He died about 1735, probably s. p. 
 His widow died 13 Jan. 1782, in her 69th year. 
 
 William d. s. p. before 20 March 1730-1. 
 
 Anna m. Jonathan Hoar. Daughter Anna, b. 1729, m. 14 
 June 1744, Seth Hodges. 
 
 Sarah, minor over 14, unmarried 20 March, 1730-1 ; perhaps 
 m. 11 April 1734, Judah Chase of Swansea, Mass. 
 
 Samuel Macomber (John 2 , John 1 ), born in Taunton, appears 
 as grantee and grantor of land in Taunton from 1721 to 1734. 
 He was probably living in 1754, when Samuel Macomber, Jr., of 
 Berkeley, received a deed of land in Rehoboth. He probably 
 married Sarah, dau. of Isaac and Alice (Chartley?) Pierce of 
 Middleborough. Isaac Pierce, born in 1661, died in Lakeville, 
 Mass., 28 Feb. 1731-2, in the 71st year of his age, son of Abra- 
 ham and Abigail (Peterson) Pierce and grandson of Abraham 
 Pierce of Plymouth. His will, 1722, names a daughter, Sarah 
 Macomber, who can be accounted for only as wife of Samuel 
 Macomber. 
 
 The following were probably children of Samuel Macomber. 
 There may have been also daughters. 
 
 16. Samuel b. about 1721 ; m. Zipporah Crane, 5 April 1750. 
 
 17. Job b. 1728; m. Hannah Woodward.

 his commission, which I remember distinctly to have seen. It 
 was preserved for more than a century in the family of his grand- 
 son, Leonard Macomber of Durham, Maine, but was accidentally 
 destroyed. 
 
 A deed at Plymouth, Mass., dated 25 Feb. 1800, shows where 
 Joseph Macomber lived. "Joseph Macomber and Elijah Macom- 
 ber 2d and Abraham Miller and Thankful Miller his wife and 
 Isaac Thomas 2d and Judith Thomas his wife and Olive Macom- 
 ber, Loraney Macomber and Hannah Macomber, and all of the 
 town of Middleborough — to William Rounsville of Middle-

 and to hold, etc., — "and that part of the 28th and 29th lots of 
 land that our deceased father holds by deed under the hand and 
 seal of Benjamin Booth deceased." 
 
 Joseph Macomber lived in that part of Middleborough which 
 in now Lakeville, on a neck of land between two lakes. The 
 house in which he and also his son Joseph lived is still standing. 
 He and his wife and daughter, Lurana (Sanderson), are buried in 
 the "Old Pond Cemetery," on the border of the lake in Lakeville. 
 The tombstone of his wife is broken and the inscription can not 
 be read. The inscription on his tombstone is as follows :

 Lieut. Joseph Macomber who 
 
 Died J awry 25 1800 
 
 in his 68th year. 
 
 Joseph Macomber's children are recorded on the leaf of an old 
 diary, still preserved and in the possession of the writer of this. 
 The record seems to have been made by himself between the years 
 1780 and 1788. It may have been brought from Middleborough 
 to Durham, Me., in an old writing-desk still kept.

 AND HIS DESCENDANTS 
 
 "Will'm Maycumber, of Dorchester, cooper, is lycensed to dwell 
 within this gov'ment, at Plymouth or elsewhere, upon the testy- 
 mony of his good behavior hee hath brought with him." 
 Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p. 82. 
 
 This is the first mention of William Macomber in America. 
 The testimony of good behavior is likely to have been obtained 
 from the person with whom he served his apprenticeship in learn- 
 ing the trade of a cooper. The date of the above record is April 
 2 1638. 
 
 I nder date of Sept. 3, 1638, are found the following records : 
 
 "Will'm Maycumber, a cooper, is graunted an island lying on 
 the north side Powder Poynt, & containing about three or four 
 acres of land, provided that the committees of Duxborrow doe 
 consent thereunto, and that he doe not stop the townes cattle from 
 the fresh water thereupon," and "Liberty is graunted to Will'm 
 Maycumber, cooper, to fetch tymber to make hoopes of for ves- 
 sels for the colonies use at Clarks Island and Sagaquash." 
 Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p. 95. 
 
 Aug. 3, 1640, "Will'm Maycumber is granted the wood fitt for 
 coopery growing upon Wood Island, to be used by. him so long 
 as he followeth his trade, and forbidding all others to cutt there 
 except for the loading of boats and vessells to carry away the 
 hay." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p. 159. 
 
 Pie settled in Marshfield, Mass. In 1644 he was fined for 
 speaking against the Indians. He was a surveyor in Marshfield 
 
 in l6 53- - . . 
 
 A sworn statement, made March 1, 1655, gives his age as 45 
 years. He was, therefore, born in 1610. Tradition says that he 
 was brother to John Macomber of Taunton. In favor of this is 
 the following: 
 
 "Aug. 20, 1644, William Maycumber of Duxborrow 
 
 sent forth to bring in John Macomber for non-appearance for 
 
90 MACOMBER GENEALOGY 
 
 making allarum at Taunton." See Proprietors' Records at 
 Taunton. 
 
 A bond of administration on the estate of the late William 
 Macomber of Marshfield was given, June 6, 1670, by Ursilla 
 Macomber, widow, of Marshfield, Thomas Macomber of Taun- 
 ton, cooper, and Matthew Macomber of Marshfield. 
 
 In December, 1675, Mathew Macomber of Taunton, son of 
 William deceased, being twenty-five years of age or thereabouts, 
 made his will, giving all his real estate to his loving brother, 
 John Macomber, twenty shillings to his honored mother, ten 
 shillings to his brother, Thomas Macomber, and ten shillings 
 apiece to all his sisters unnamed. John Macomber, Jr., was 
 witness. Thomas Macomber made oath to the inventory of 
 Matthew Macomber's estate in 1676. See Probate Records at 
 Plymouth, Mass. 
 
 The farm occupied by William Macomber is still in the pos- 
 session of the Macomber family, being owned by his descendant 
 of the ninth generation, Herbert Israel Macomber. The original 
 house was a garrison house for protection against the Indians, 
 the ends being brick and the rest of wood. It was burned about 
 the time of the Revolutionary War. It stood very near to the 
 house now occupied by the widow of Israel Hatch Macomber, 
 which is the nearest house to the Railway Station at Marshfield 
 Hills. The land extended down to the Bay and included the 
 small island above mentioned. 
 
 It is probable that the early generations of Marshfield Macom- 
 bers were buried not far from the house where they lived, and 
 near to a tomb built by William Macomber (1748-1815). This 
 is south from the house above mentioned a short walk and on 
 the opposite side of the road. 
 
 It appears that William Macomber of Marshfield, born in 
 1610, died about 1670, that he had wife named Ursilla and chil-

 John Macomber (William 1 ), born in Marshfield, Mass., is 
 often mentioned in the history of Taunton and is called in deeds 
 "John Macomber the cooper" to distinguish him from other John 
 Macombers. He married Hannah, daughter of Edward Bobbit, 
 who was born 9 March, 1660. Edward Bobbit was an original 
 settler in Taunton and took land in the South Purchase, now 
 Berkley. During the Indian War he was obliged to flee to the 
 block house in Taunton and was killed by Indians while return- 
 ing to his farm. He married, 7 July 1654, Sarah, daughter of 
 Miles Tarne of Boston, Mass. 
 
 July 23, 1684, J°h n Macomber of Taunton, cooper, acknowl- 
 edged that his wife Hannah, a sister of Edward Bobbit, received 
 her part of her father's estate by a deed of land "down Taunton 
 River," being lot No. 1, near Little River. — See Deed at Taun- 
 ton, III. 574. 
 
 John Macomber was a soldier in King William's War in 1691. 
 He made his will, "being aged," 29 June, 1716. He was living 
 21 Jan. 1717-8, as a deed shows. His will names children as 
 follows :

 The lot just mentioned was in the present town of Westport, 
 Mass., and embraced what is now a part of the village of West- 
 port Point. It was bounded easterly by the main road and west- 
 erly by the west branch of Westport River. This original farm 
 of one hundred and forty or more acres has been considerably 
 divided, but a part of the same is still in the possession of the 
 Macomber family, being owned by Charles I •'. Macomber. 
 
 The will of William Macomber, dated 10 April. 171 1. and 
 probated 2 July, 171 1, names wife Mary and all his children,

 Thomas Macomber (William 1 ), born in Marshfield, Mass., 
 was a cooper and lived for a time in Taunton, where he had a 
 grant of land with others, 20 Feb. 1667. He sold this to his 
 brother, John Macomber, in 1684, and settled on the paternal 
 estate in Marshfield. Here he was constable in 1678; surveyor 
 in 1680, on a jury in 1682 and 1684-5, selectman in 1689 and 
 1692, treasurer in 1693, 1694 and 1696. He married, 20 Jan.

 ♦George Elliott McOmber, descended from Barnabas Macom- 
 ber, wrote in 1894, that a brother of Barnabas Macomber "left his 
 father's home, went to Canada, where he married a daughter of 
 the chief of the Caughnewagas (I am not sure I spell the name 
 correctly), a tribe of Indians in the Province of Ontario west of 
 Montreal, himself became chief of the tribe and father of children, 
 whose children used often in my father's lifetime to come to our 
 house, and who although bearing all the facial marks of North 
 American Indians, showed education and refinement, the result, I 
 believe, of scholarship at Oberlin College, Ohio." — Letter to Alice 
 Macomber, now Mrs. R. B. Greenwood, Providence, R. I.
