Robert died before September 19, 1690, and was preceded in death by wife Joanna.\u00a0 A record of her death has not been found but she is not mentioned in the will of Robert. The exact date of Robert\u2019s arrival is unknown but based upon research it is most likely that Robert was a Scottish prisoner of war, captured by Cromwell.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTES ON THE WARNER FAMILY:\u00a0Robert married Joanna Warner on Oct. 14, 1664. The Warner family was at that time one of the leading families of Essex County. Joanna was probably daughter of John<\/p>\n

*John Warner (father of Joanna Warner Mackclaflin) was born in England about 1616. He came to New England with his father, William, brother Daniel and sister Abigail in 1637, and settled in Ipswich, Mass. He married Priscilla Symonds, daughter of Mark and Joanna Symonds. In 1665 he moved to Brookfield, being one of its earliest settlers. After the destruction of the town by the Indians in 1675, he took refuge in Hadley, where his son Mark had settled, and where he died on May 17, 1697. The records do not name Joanna as a child of John Warner, but she bore the name of John’s mother-in-law (Joanna Symonds), and Robert and Joanna named their daughters Priscilla and Abigail, the names of John’s wife and sister. These facts make it probable that Joanna, the wife of Robert Mackclothlan, was the daughter of John Warner.<\/p>\n

Robert also spelled his name as Mackclaflin and Mackclafflin.\u00a0 Other variations include Claffland, Clafflind, Claflen, Cafflin, Clafflin, are other derivative names used by descendants of Robert Mackclaflin but generally Claflin is the main name that was used and is still used by the family today.<\/span><\/p>\n
