Surnames: McCUBBIN, JOHNSON, HAMILTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/9972 Message Board Post: Seeking early information about William McCUBBIN, born about 1837 perhaps in Glasgow, parents James McCUBBIN and Agnes ____. William went to New Orleans, Louisiana about 1850. Joseph, born about 1841 in Liverpool, England, also went to New Orleans about the same time. Were William and Joseph related? They lived very close to each other in 1880 and 1890. William perhaps married an Ellen ____ who died in 1867 in New Orleans, age 28. Did they have a son William born about 1860 in England? Both Williams lived in the Stephen P. Johnson household in 1870, but it is not certain that the one born 1860 was a McCubbin. William (b. 1837) married Emma Louisa HAMILTON (sometimes also known by stepfather's surname JOHNSON) in 1872, had children.
