Notes par Eleanor Darnall

[Fonda Carrol]

After much research into trying to confirm Eleanor's surname; my research partner and I conclude that she probably was not a Carroll. We have researched the early Carroll lines and find none that may have come over at that time (prior to 1666) and also looked at other aligned families from Ireland to see if the time frame was right and none found.  The naming of her son's John (probably for father), Samuel, William, Zachariah and Moses are not Christian names associated with any known Carroll line in Maryland. ; Plus marrying in a Quaker Meeting Hall while not conclusive, does not point to a Catholic Carroll.  So why are Mary Carroll, James Carroll, Charles Carroll, Jr., Charles Carroll testators to her will in 1705?  The Maccubbin's and Carroll's do not intermarry for several more years and the answer is below:

More than likely Eleanor is a Darnall.  Mary Carroll who is a testator to Eleanor's will was a Darnall and no doubt is Eleanor's niece. (Eleanor's brother Henry Darnall married Eleanor Hatton and their daughter Mary Darnall married abt. 1694 to Charles Carroll 'The Settler')
Also there is a tract of land called 'Woodyard' which is mentioned as being Henry Darnall (who died 1711) principal estate.  In John Howard's will he leaves Eleanor 'Woodyard'. Eleanor left to her son William Maccubbin a tract of 150 acres of land called 'Woodyard'. There is also a tract called 'Timber Neck' in John Howard's will that he leaves to his son but in John Maccubbin's will (Eleanor's son) he owns 'Timber Neck'.
Son Samuel Maccubbin in his will of 1745 says, "I also Give and bequeath unto my said loveing Grand son Samuel Lane and his heirs all the money that lyes in England."
It has to be remembered that during this time period, married women could not hold land in their name and Eleanor no doubt brought these lands to her marriage to John Howard and he is returning her land to her/heirs in his will.

NOTE: 'Timber Neck' and 'Woodyard' do not appear in any previous Howard wills that I've looked at.  It isn't until John Howard's will dated Dec. 30, 1695 that they first appear.  We know that Henry Darnall owned 'Woodyard' and John Maccubbin owned 'Timber Neck' (see land notes below).
'Woodyard', 'Timber Neck', and Mary Darnall Carroll (who would be Eleanor's niece) ties Eleanor as a Darnall/Carroll/John Maccubbin/John Howard together in my opinion.

Henry DARNALL I, Lord Baltimore's principal defender during the tumultuous days of Maryland's revolution in government, lived for many years in Prince George's County before moving late in life to Anne Arundel County.  His most important estate here was the WOODYARD, a lumbering facility as well as a tobacco plantation.  He also owned Portland Manor in Anne Arundel County.  Wealthier by far than most Prince Georgeans, at his death he owned more than one hundred slaves (116) and counted among his possessions five wigs, eleven pairs of gloves, and a cloth suit trimmed with gold (from the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, Maryland).

below is taken from Maccubbin History:
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.
