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- Many 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 traced here.
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.
3. Thomas b. 30 July 1679; m. Mary .
. 4. John b. 18 March 1681 ; m. Elizabeth Williams.
5. William b. 31 Jan. 1684; m. Sarah Hollaway.
6. Samuel b. ; m. Sarah Pierce.

Thomas Macomber (John2, John1), 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.
7. Stephen b. ; m. 4 1738, Abigail Robin-
son.

John Macomber (John2, John1), 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.

Elijah, Joseph, Elizabeth Rounsevill, Abia and Anna. His son
Elijah inherited the homestead in East Taunton.
MACOMBER GENEALOGY
13
Jan- 5> l7?>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 (John2, John1), 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 (John2, John1), 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.

commisisoned Lieut, in Capt. Edward Seagrovy's Company, 13th
Regiment, commanded by Col. Joseph Read, 8 Jan. 1776, by
order of Congress, signed by John Hancock, President. So read
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-
borough certain property known as Assawampsett Neck, land we
own as heirs to our deceased father Joseph Macomber by name, —
all the aforesaid forty-fifth and forty-sixth lots we hold as heirs
20 MACOMBER GENEALOGY
to our deceased mother Thankful Macomber by name," to have
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 :
In memory of
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 l653- - . .
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-
dren above named. From varied sources have been gathered
the names of several daughters and their marriages. That they
belonged to William Macomber's family is an almost necessary
inference.

John Macomber (William1), 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°hn 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 :
5. William b. 1684, as per deposition; m. Hannah Hoskins.

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.

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.

Montreal, himself became chief of the tribe and father of children,
whose children used often in my father's lifetime to come to our

believe, of scholarship at Oberlin College, Ohio." — Letter to Alice
