First Generation in the New World

1. JAMES¹ CLEGHORN/CLAGHORN, was born presumably in Scotland and died at Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts sometime between 11 Jun and 21 Jul 1683. 6 He married at Barnstable on 6 Jan 1654, ABIA/ABIAH LOMBARD/LUMBART, (aka Abigail Lumbert). 7 8

Biographical Notes:
James Cleghorn was in the service of Barnhard Lambert and later, after he had earned his freedom, he and his wife, a possible relative of Barnhard Lambert, relocated to Martha’s Vineyard. 9 Prior to his marriage on 6 Jan 1654, he and his future wife were charged with “carnall copulation before contraction” and the case was heard at Plymouth’s General Court 6 Mar 1654/5. 10 He paid the fine of 5 pounds on 9 Aug 1655. 11 He took the oath of fidelity in 1657 also at Barnstable. On May 24, 1662 several men of Barnstable, including James, were chosen to serve a one year term as Heywards, being those who would look after fences, giving warning and charging the landowner for defects in order to help control cattle from trespassing into corn fields. 12 Sometime after this, supposedly in 1662, James and his family removed to Yarmouth, still in Plymouth Colony. He again appeared in Plymouth Court on 2 Mar 1668 but this time, he was the victim. “Caleb Lumburt, for breaking the Kinges peace in striking of James Gleaghorn, was fined three shillings four pence; and in reference to his hostile carriages towards the said Gleaghorne, forasmuch as hee is recouered of that which might haue proued dangerouse to his life, hee, the said Lumbert, was seriously admonished and warned for the future not to doe soe any more, and cleared of his bonds.” 13 The man, Caleb Lumburt, a Jedediah Lumburt, might have been a relative to James Cleghorn’s wife, Abia (Abigail), and were the administrators on the estate of Thomas Lumburt, as well as Thomas’ wife, Joyce. Caleb had previously appeared in court on 2 Oct 1660 for “abominable cursing and swearing” and was punished by sitting in the stocks. 14 James Cleghorn’s land was officially recorded “11 of Feb 1674 at a Meeting of ye Men appointed by ye Town to Examine Evidences of Mens Lands to be Recorded twas Ordered to be recorded as followeth; To James Claghorn; twenty acres of Upland be it More or Less bounded Westerly to ye lands of John Casly In ye occupation of Joshua Lumbart Easterly by ye Commons Northerly & Southerly by ye Commons being about 40 pole Broad & Eighty Long.” 15 His land was again mentioned in a grant on 20 April 1675 between John Casly and John Phinny, planters and Joshua Lumbart who was buying twenty acres of Upland land described as lying “…Easterly by ye Lands Laid out to James Claghorn as ye Line Runs Northerly and Southerly between two Small Swamps & bounded Northerly and Southerly by ye Common…” 16 James Cleghorn’s wife committed suicide by hanging in Oct. 1677, her body being found by some of her children, Abia (Abigail) was reported as having been for sometime mentally afflicted. 17 His will, dated 11 Jun 1683, reads: His estate inventory was taken 21 Jul 1683: James died sometime between 11 Jun and 21 Jul 1683.

INQUEST INTO THE DEATH OF JAMES CLEGHORN’S WIFE, ABIA. 30
“The verdict of vs, a jury impannelled by the constable of Yarmouth, to serch into and view the what might be the occation or cause of the vntimly death of the wife of James Claghorne, of Yarmouth. Wee made enquiry whoe were the psons which first found the woman, and wee found that it was her daughter Elizabeth and her son Robert, whoe, vpon examination, declared to vs that they, missing theire mother, nad made serch and enquiry for her, they sent vp into the chamber by one of the children, whoe cryed out that his mother is hanging herselfe; whervpon the said Elizabeth and Robert ran vp, and found her hanging and dead. They thought, howeuer, that shee might haue life, and therfore prsently vnloosed the rope or halter, and tooke her downe; and seeing noe life in her, they prsently made out cray abroad, and there came to them Jabez Gorum and Jonathan White, whoe declared to vs that they went vp, and found the woman vnder the rope dead and cold, and they tooke her vp and brought her downe into the lower rome; and the aboue-said Elizabeth said that her mother was mising, as shee judged, two houres or more before they found her. Haueing thus farr proceed, we went to view the place where shee was hanged, as they told vs, and found there an haire rope or halter, fastened very feirme to the collor beame, in thich the abouesaid Elizabeth and Robert said shee hanged; then wee viewed the corpes, and found an apparent strake on her necke, where the blood was settled; soe that / it is apparent to vs that shee strangling herselfe with a cord was the cause of her death, and by all our serch and inquiry, wee judge that shee hanged herselfe, and haue noe cause, by all our examination and obseruation, to suspect any other to haue any hand in it.
Yarmouth, this 21 of the 8th, 1677.
This verdict was taken vpon oath this 29th of October, 1677, before mee.

From Mary Baker, 10 Mar 2019:
My ancestor is Probable SPOW #14 James Claghorn (various spellings); A few years ago I was in Edinburgh and visited the Corstorphine Trust in search of him, [ https://www.corstorphinetrust.co.uk/archivemuseum/n Corstorphine] I had read somewhere that he might have come from that parish.The baptismal records for Corstorphine have been entered onto index cards and I went through many Cleghorne et al. I believe I found #14, but no way to prove that it was #14, except possibly by comparing male descendants of James, Sr. of Corstorphine and male descendants of #14 in America. James Cleghorne of Corstorphine was baptized 7 Feb. 1638, son of James Cleghorne alias Smithfield (that is, formerly of Smithfield, a neighboring parish of Edinburgh). Assuming this is the right James, how old would he have been at the Battle of Dunbar? Perhaps he was born abt 1632? Archaeological research at Durham Cathedral shows that some of their soldiers at Dunbar were indeed very young . . . . . I think you already have rest of what little documentation there is: that he sailed on the Unity arriving late Dec. 1650; Sold (or more likely resold) to Bernard Lombard of Barnstable sometime in 1653 (secondary source only); Married Lombard’s daughter Abiah, 6 Jan. 1653/4; Had eight children, the first one born 23 days after wedding; Died Yarmouth, MA, Oct. 1683.
