John McCubbin was born in Knockldolian Castle, Ayreshire, Scotlandto Sir John Fergus MacCubbin and Sarah McGregor Black. In the middle 1600's, Scotland was rampant with bloodshed during the Covenanting times. John's decision to immigrate to America my have been because his father, a covenator, disowned him because he refused to involve himself in martial endeavors.

He arrived in Maryland, from the lowlands of Scotland, about 1649. He was a planter and settled first in Tinker Neck, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, during 1659. Married (1) Catherine Howard, about 1666 and (2) Ellinor Carroll about 1670. As a Scotsman, Catholic, and converted Quaker, he relocated to the Anne Arundel Colony due to religious discrimination from the predominate religion of the Virginia Colony, the Church of England. John Maccubbin or Mackubin took up several tracts of land about Annapolis of which were 'Brampton' and 'Wardrope' on South River, 'Timber Neck','Macubins Cove' and 'Hamilton' and settled thereon as a planter On the shore of South river.

On his old plantation of "Brampton," lie presumably the remains of John Macubin, or Mackubin, the original owner of the land in 1658, and the founder of the family in Maryland. John Mackubin died in 1685.

The old graveyard lies in the middle of a ploughed field on the farm now belonging to Mr. Thomas Gaither, beyond "Three Oaks," and though intact and unmolested at the last visit of the chairman of the Memorial Committee, it was untended and overgrown with trees and brambles and bore no sign of having once served as a graveyard, save the oblong holes or indentations which mark the graves of those buried there. The tenant on the place bore witness that there were old stones there within his memory, but they were carried away and used in the foundations of some neighboring houses.
