  Subject: William McCubbin - Nellie Griffith
  
  I have studied your Web page with great interest. It appears we have duplicated the same areas. One area remains in question for me and that is the marriage of William McCubbin (Son of William, who was the son of John, who was the son of John the colonist) and Nellie Griffith. My research shows that this William McCubbin married Clara Phipps on Aug. 11 1735. This is documented in the MD Parish Marriage records.
  
  I have been to and written the Maryland Hall of Records, Annapolis, MD and the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore MD. Nowhere can I find anything referencing Nellie Griffith or a second marriage of William. From notes I have received for Mike Vance and Hugh Jenkins I think the William/Nellie marriage came from the late Howard Griffith. Howard wrote an unpublished book that I cannot find.
  
  Almost all genealogical researchers cite William and Nellie as name and wife but can not provide public records.
  
  I have a copy of Gleason's book, Herschel's book, the papers of J C McCubbin, Alta Patterson's works and copies of many land records,
  Parrish records, wills, etc from the Mary Historical Society and the MD Hall of Records. Mike Vance, Hugh Jenkins, and Caroyln McCubbin Scott have also provide me with many documents.
