| John Stinchcomb, elder son of Capt. Nathaniel Stinchcomb of “The Tanyard,” by his wife the former Hannah Randall, was born in 1700 according to his deposition of 1767 (see above). He died testate shortly before 10 September 1779. He married in Baltimore County, about 1733, his half first cousin, Catherine (born in or before 1718), daughter of Hector Maclane of “Hector’s Fancy,” in Upper North Patapsco Hundred, by Amy Norman, daughter of George Norman and Johanna of Anne Arundel County. Her father left her, in his will, dated 2 July 1722 and proved 1 October 1722, half (150 acres) of “Hector’s Chance,” which, in her own will, dated 10 August 1790 and proved 18 June 1791, she describes as her dwelling plantation and leaves equally to her sons Christopher and Enoch Stinchcomb (MHR: Baltimore County Original Wills, box 4, folder 20; Baltimore County Wills, liber 4, folios 553-55, photostats). John Stinchcomb was a captain of militia (cf. his deposition of 1767 above) and was in 1748-50 and 1754-56 a member of the vestry of St. Thomas’s Parish. As elder son he inherited his father’s remaining land, “Stinchcomb’s Park,” 600 acres, which by will he divided among his sons Maclane, William, Christopher, and Enoch Stinchcomb. By patent and by purchase he acquired numerous other tracts, but he probably resided on his wife’s part of “Hector’s Chance.” On 23 September 1734 he witnesses, with (his half brother) Emanuel Teale and (his first cousin-in-law) Samuel Owings, the will of (his uncle) Christopher Randall of “Stout” (MHR: Baltimore County Original Wills, box 5, folder 51, photostat). On 30 June 1740 he signs, with (his mother) Hannah Teale, as “Nearest of Kin” an inventory of the estate of (his sister) Mary Smith, which was then presented by (his nephew-in-law) John Bailey, her administrator (MHR: Baltimore County Original Inventories, box 9, folder 23, photostat). On ______ 1746 he signs, with (his first cousin) Christopher Randall son of Thomas, as “relations,” an inventory of the estate of Henry Butler of “The Hope,” late husband of (their half first cousin and his wife’s full first cousin) Susanna Norman (MHR: Baltimore County Original Inventories, box __, folder __). On 23 February 1746/7 he signs, with (his half brother) Emanuel Teal, apparently as a relation, an inventory of the estate of (his brother) Nathaniel Stinchcomb of “Bachelor’s Hope” (MHR: Baltimore County Original Inventories, box 10, folder 52, photostat). He and (his first cousin) Christopher Randall son of Thomas then serve as sureties for Patience Stinchcomb the administratrix (MHR: Accounts, liber 25, folios 149-51, photo). About 1757 his third daughter, Hannah Stinchcomb, born 10 Jan 1740/1 (St. Paul’s Register), married her first cousin (his nephew) Elijah Owings, eldest son of Henry Owings and (his sister) Helen Stinchcomb. His will is dated 30 September 1775 and proved 10 September 1779 and is witnessed by Stephen Treacle and (Henry Butler’s grandsons) Benjamin Wells, Jr., and Absalom Wells. In it he appoints his wife Catherine and his sons Aquila and Maclane executors. He mentions his sons Nathaniel, John, Aquila, George, Maclane, William, Christopher, and Enoch, his grandson John Stinchcomb, son of his son Norman, and his daughter Catherine Stinchcomb (MHR: Baltimore County Original Wills, box 16, folder 44, photostat). The will of his widow, Catherine Stinchcomb, dated 10 August 1790 and proved 18 June 1791, is witnessed by George Zimmerman, George Wilderman, and Henry Green. She divided her 150 acres of “Hector’s Chance” between her sons Christopher and Enoch, refers to her grandson John Stinchcomb, son of Norman, and to “all my children” (MHR: Baltimore County Wills, liber 4, folios 553-54, photostat). John and Catherine Stinchcomb had fourteen children; the births of the first nine are recorded in the register of St. Paul’s church: I. Rebecca, b. 4 March 1733/4; named for her father’s sister. II.
