     Electa (?) was baptized on 7 Oct 1792 at Lanesboro, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.¹ She was the daughter of Miriam Olds.¹

     Elinor (?) married John MacCubbin. The claim that John Maccubbin married Susan, daughter of Samuel Howard, as made by Warfield¹, cannot be supported. In fact, there is no evidence that he married any Howard woman or, in fact, had a wife other than Eleanor. The will of Samuel Howard, made 28 Feb. 1702/3 and probated 9 Nov. 1703, does mention grandchildren John, Samuel and Elizabeth Maccubbins but Elizabeth was still single and John and Samuel were not yet 18, much younger than the like-named sons of John Maccubbin, Sr. They were, in fact, sons of John Maccubbin, Jr.² Confusion may also have resulted from the fact that Eleanor, widow of John Maccubbin, married John Howard, Sr., a brother of this Samuel Howard. Elinor (?) died in Jul 1711 at Anne Arundel County, Maryland. She was buried on 11 Jul 1711.³
     She is on the ancestor roster for the Colonial Dames XVIIth Century. According to the listing, Elinor was born before 1649 and died 1771 [sic]. She is listed as Elinor Carroll Howard who married John MacCubbin and was a landowner.⁴
     "Mrs. Elinor Maccubin, widow of John, was, as I believe, of the family of Dr. Charles, and James Carroll, of "All Hallows" Parish; both of whom were witnesses to her will, in 1711. Her daughter, Sarah Maccubin, became the wife of William Griffith, and the mother of Orlando and Captain Charles Griffith, of Anne Arundel."⁵ This, of course, does not prove the connection to the Carroll family. The suggestion, published in 1905, appears not to have gained documented support. The following analysis, posted by "Erin" on genforum, presents the warning against accepting the weakly supported suggestion that Elinor was a Carroll.

"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."⁶
      "[John Howard's] second wife was Eleanor, the widow of John Maccubin, of South River, the progenitor of that Scottish family in the Province.
Howard's will, written on 30 Dec. 1695 and probated in Anne Arundel County on 13 May 1696, gave "To grandson [step-grandson] Orlando Griffith residue of the tract on Little Falls, in event of his death to pass to his mother, Sarah Griffith."⁷
     "[John Howard's] widow, Eleanor Howard, wrote her will on November 10, 1705, but it was not probated in Anne Arundel County until August 4, 1711. She appointed her daughter, Sarah Reynolds, the executrix and bequeathed personalty to her grandchildren -- Orlando, Sophia, Charles and William Griffith. She further more devised William Maccubin "Howard's Thicket" where he was seated in consideration that he release to his brother his interest in certain lands devised him by his father. [Wills, Liiber 13, folio 235]⁸
Elinor (?) left a will on 10 Nov 1705 at Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was not probated until 1711. She made her daughter, Sarah Reynolds, her executrix, provided for the payment of any debts, pointed out that she had already tried to provide for her children and then said "and considering the Low destitute condition my four Grandchildren Orlando, Sophia, Charles and William Griffith are left in by their father doe hereby give and bequeath unto them equally to be divided all the residue of such personall Estate as I shall dye possessed of, or have a right to posess, and if any of them should dye before they are of age to dispose of their Share, the same to goe among the Surviver."⁹

     Elisabeth (?) married Reuben Olds, son of Joseph Olds and Hannah Billings, b 1781.¹

     Elizabeth (?) married Bartholomew Austin.
     Elizabeth (?) Bartholomew Austin and Elizabeth Austin are listed as parents of Mary
Austin on chart by Gillie Fowler and Ann Carswell, 10 March 1987. I
presume Austin was not her maiden name.

     Elizabeth (?) married William Cox, son of Isaac Cox and Olive Underwood, at North Carolina.
No marriage record is known for William Cox. His wife Elizabeth, whose maiden name remains unknown is first named in his 1817 estate records as his widow.
Some estate records survived the burning of the Burke County Court house in 1865 and these are preserved at Raleigh. Most have little detail and I do not have copies, only notes The estate of Isaac Cox was settled in 1813, William in 1817 and David in 1832. David handled the estate for his brother William and some of the William's heirs were still mentioned when David's estate was settled. This showed that some of WIliam's heirs at law were James McTaggart, Olive McTaggart, and Sarah Cox. William's widow, Elizabeth, married a Mr. Brown.

     Elizabeth (?) was buried at Frederick County?, Maryland?. She married Stephen Ulrich, son of Stephen Ulrich; The 1754 deed of sale of land to Daniel Ulrich shows that Stephen's wife then was named Elizabeth. This is about the time that their son Samuel Ulrich was born. Elizabeth (?) died b 1782. She may have been dead by 1768 when her name no longer appears on her husband's deeds.
     Many descendants believe that her maiden surname was Greib, which would have been pronounced much like Cripe, a spelling used today.
"An unknown German man with the last name GREIB had two children move to America, a son named Jacob and a daughter named Elizabeth.
"The son was born about 1712 and arrived in Philadelphia 28 Sept 1733 on a ship called Brigatine Richard and Elizabeth. In about 1742, in York Township, Lancaster Co., PA, Jacob married Elizabeth Ulrich, who had been born about 1724. Jacob and his wife had ten children -- four sons and six daughters. Jacob died in 1802 in Frankstown, Huntingdon Co., PA; his will was recorded 20 May 1802 in Huntingdon Co. ...
"The daughter of that unknown German man with the last name GREIB was named Elizabeth. She was born about 1720, died 1781, and had eight children with her husband. Her husband was Stephen ULRICH, born about 1710, who was a brother to Elizabeth ULRICH. In other words, a brother and a sister GREIB married a sister and a brother ULRICH."¹

     Elizabeth (?) married William Weeks, son of George Weekes and Jane Clapp.¹ Elizabeth (?) was buried at Old Dorchester Graveyard, Dorchester, Massachusetts.
          "Here lyes y^e body

          Mather, wife to
          M^r. Timothy Mather

     Elizabeth (?) married John Luddington, son of William Luddington, c 1600.² Elizabeth (?) was buried on 13 May 1638 at North Kelsey, Lincolnshire, England.

     Elizabeth (?) married James Taylor.

     Elizabeth (?) married Solomon Jones at South Carolina.

     Elizabeth (?) married John Baldwin b 1653.^1,2
     This Elizabeth was the widow of George Dorrell. George Dorrell and his wife Elizabeth were transported by Thomas Turner in 1653. Dorrell was dead by 1659. [Check Russel's reference, I&A, 4:359, because Dorrell had transactions in Aug. 1659.] As Elizabeth Dorrell, she patented Long Neck on the north side of the Magothy River on 24 Feb. 1663.³ Elizabeth (?) left a will in 1687.
     "The widow Elizabeth made her will 29 10m 1687 [December] (proved 14 January 1691) bequeathing to Nathaniel Stinchcombe a feather bed and cow; to Samuel Butterfield's two children, Samuel and Alice: a cow each. To servant Katharine Peony: cow. To Ruth Howard, wife of Philip: brass kettle, and to her daughter Hannah: my warming pan. To Jean Witchell: cow. To Thomas Witchell: feather bed, he executor. To Ann Lambert on whose plantation I live: money. Residue to Quakers via William Richardson, and two acres reserved for a graveyard where my children were buried on that plantation that was my son Paul Dorrell's on the north side of the Magothy River. Edward Talbot and Solomon Sparrow overseers /E/ Witnesses: Gerard Nelson, George Green."⁴ The Maryland Calendar of Wills lists this abstract under "Balding (Baldwin), Eliza."⁵

     Elizabeth (?) married William Ridgely , Immigrant, son of (?) Ridgely. Elizabeth (?) was born c 1658. She died a 1733; William Ridgely's "widow was living as late as May 3, 1733, when by deed she gave her daughter, Elizabeth Maccauley, and her granddaughter, Elizabeth Maccauley Jr. all her wearing apparel and to her said granddaughter the residue of her estate. She apparently died soon there after. [A. A. Co. Deeds, Liber JHTJ no. 1, folio 537]¹
     Richard Foose published an abstract of some depositions taken in 1727. These are used in proving the identity of two wives in the Colonel Henry Ridgely family, but incidentally provide information on the wife of William Ridgely. Newman became aware of this information only after the publication of the third volume of Anne Arundel Gentry in 1979. Saunders has provided a more complete abstract of Elizabeth Ridgely's statement.

Elizabeth Ridgley, aged sixty five, widow of William Ridgely, stated that "ever since she can Remember she had heard of one Alice SKINNER Coming Over Sea from the West of England, and that the said Alice SKINNER was a Relation of a Certain Jane PUDDINGTON wife of George PUDDINGTON of Ann Arundell County, and that the said Alice SKINNER after her arrival into Maryland lived some time with the sd PUDDINGTON after which she the said Alice was Married to a Certain Henry RIDGELY of the aforesaid County, all which this Deponent hath heard her Mother say, and as this Depont. grew in years being a near Neighbour to the said Henry RIDGELY, got acquainted with the aforesaid Alice the wife of the said Henry RIDGELY and that they the said Henry & Alice were always Reported man & wife & lived together as such, And after they had been married for some four? (faded, starts with a f, but I think four not five -Saunders) Years this Deponents Mother was sent for as a Midwife by the sd. Henry RIDGELY to his wife, and at her Return the Deponent understood she had Delivered her the said Alice of a Son who was after Named Charles who this Deponent was very well acquainted with dureing ....... Sworn to ....... 26 August 1927" "The parts I [Saunders] left out towards the end of her deposition are pretty much as stated in the abstracts." Foose shows these further statements to say that the son, Charles, went to England and came back with a wife, and had had daughters (unnamed) and a son Henry who was now about 24 years old. Elizabeth added that she had heard Alice speak of an uncle "Cornish" in the West of England.

These depositions were taken in support of Henry Ridgely's claim to land his father, Charles, had inherited through Alice Skinner and were discovered in the records of the Baptist Church of Tiverton (Devonshire) which was later built on the Skinner land. Foose comments: "The records of this case in the Provincial Court of Chancery did not survive, nor any record of Alice Skinner's marriage or her death, and no one seems to have claimed headright for her transportation to Maryland. She was remembered only in an old book in a small English town, a book that referred to documents that survived only because, unlike other early records of Tiverton, they were not sent away during World War II 'for safekeeping', only to be destroyed by German bombing."

Saunders points out that if the present purpose is to identify the wife of William Ridgley, it is important to include the section saying that "ever since she can Remember" Elizabeth, the sixty-five year old widow of William Ridgely, had heard of Alice Skinner coming from England and marrying Henry Ridgely and that she had heard these things from her mother. Elizabeth's mother was the midwife at the birth of Henry Ridgely, son of Charles, about 1703. This means that Elizabeth's mother was a resident of the neighborhood of Col. Henry Ridgely and had known of the family since Elizabeth was young. The fact that Elizabeth "grew up with" this information at least suggests there was some connection between this mother (or her husband) and the Henry Ridgely family or its near connections. This may well have been through Alice Skinner who had connections with both George Puddington and Edward Robins of the area.

Another deposition of the same group, as reported by Foose, is that of Rachel Freeborne, aged eighty years or thereabouts, who said that Alice and Mary Skinner had come from Devon, England about fifty-six years ago and lived with Rachel's grandmother, Jane, who as the widow of Edward Roberts had married George Puddington. Rachel's grandmother told her that Alice Skinner had married Henry Ridgely while living with her [Alice's?] aunt, Jane Puddington. Rachel herself had been the midwife at the birth of Henry, son of Charles and grandson of Henry and Alice (Skinner) Ridgely.

Rachel, bap. 20 Nov. 1631, a daughter of Edward and Jane (Cornish) Robins, married Richard Beard who made his will in 1675 (and may not have died until 1681), and named his daughter Rachel Clarke. This Rachel married successively, Neal Clark (whose executrix she was, for his will dated 1675), John Stinson, Robert Proctor, Richard Killburne, and Thomas Freeborne (list and evidences provided by Frederic Saunders, by e-mail). Among the other children of Edward and Jane (Cornish) was Elizabeth Robins who married William Burgess, also an early resident of South River, Anne Arundel County.

Thus, Rachel Freeborne has the family connections, presence in the neighborhood, and midwife experience to qualify as the "missing" mother of the widow Elizabeth Ridgely. If so, Elizabeth would have been the daughter of Neal and Rachel (Beard) Clark(e). Positive identification is, nevertheless, still lacking.

Frederic Saunders has provided well documented detail on the Cornish and Robins ancestries and the Henry Ridgely family at http://home.netcom.com/~fzsaund. See also http://mosesrawlings.freeservers.com/beardrobbinscornishskinner.html.^2,3,4

     Elizabeth (?) married James Orrick.
     Richard Moss, with wife Elizabeth, appears in the re-recorded land records of Anne Arundel County. They appear together in 1664 and 1668 and he sold land as late as 1669.² Under Richard Moss, Russell says that Moss arrived in 1649 and "In 1661 he demanded land on behalf of the orphans of James Orrick for transporting himself into the province in 1650. [Patents, 6:105, 108; 4:69]³
     Richard Moss of Ann Arundel County, Maryland, made his will 1 May 1675, with an addition written 7 Nov 1675 and it was probated 5 July 1676. He made his wife Elizabeth the full and sole Executor. One provision was: "Item I give & bequeath unto James Orrurke my wives son all my wearing clothes" and he also made "the said James Orrurke my loving cosen Ralph Hawkins & my loving ffriend William Hawkins Overseers of this my last will after my wife's decease or widowhood". This indicates that James was "of age" at the time. The children of Richard and Elizabeth (named as Richard, Ralph, Elizabeth, Alice and Ellen) were minors. Moss specified "And further my will is that my wife or James Orrurke or whoseoever else shall have the Possession of my soun Ralph his Estate shall keep the housing in good repair the orchard wel ----ed and replenish it with trees as any that shall -- add to the Number every year four bearing trees untill my said soune Ralph shall come to the age of eighteene". The phrase from the codocil, "And further my will is that my Land at the mountains in Clarkmore be sold towards the Payment of James Orrucke's Portion & the remainder to be paid out of the rest of my estate" indicates that James was to get some amount of cash not explained here.⁴

     Elizabeth (?) married Nathaniel Foote, son of Robert Foote and Joan Brooke, by 1617.¹ Elizabeth (?) married (2) Thomas Welles c 1646.²
     She has been called Elizabeth Deming since her will calls John Deming her brother. This identification was studied by George E. McCracken who concluded that the case is unproven since the relationship of "brother" could be established in other ways that could not be eliminated.³
     She dated her will 28 March 1678, codicil 16 Aug. 1682 and died 28 July 1683. Her will names son Robert Foote; children of dau. Sarah Judson, dec'd; "my four daughters" --my daughter Churchall, my daughter Goodrich, my daughter Barnard, my daughter Smith; children of son Nathaniel; and several grandchildren including Joseph and Benjamin Churchill. It is in this will that she named "my beloved Brother, Mr. John Deming" as one of her executors. The will is signed by her mark, E. W. One of the witnesses was "John Deminge" for both the will and the codicil.^4,5

     Elizabeth (?) was born c 1603.¹ She married Timothy Stanley, son of Robert Stanley, by 1629.¹ Elizabeth (?) died on 23 Feb 1678 at Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut.^2,3
     "'Elizabeth Bacon, late of Hadley, now a resident of Hartford,' made her will on 30 Oct 1671. She mentioned 'my son Caleb Standly, who had taken upon him the Burden & Care of providing for me in my old Age, also left his brother Isaac's Estate to me, which might have fallen to him'; late husband Andrew Bacon, late of Hadley; daughter Abigail Coles, wife of Samuel Coles, daughter Lois Porter, wife of Thomas Porter, 'both of Farmington,' daughter Elizabeth Sension, wife of Mark Sension [i. e. St. John], granddaughter Sarah Sension, daughter of testator's daughter Elizabeth. The inventory was taken on 23 February 1678[/9], and the will was exhibited in court on 6 March 1678/9."⁴
