Maclin, William (b. ABT 1680, d. ABT FEB 1751)

Note: It is traditional in the family that the first William Maclin in this country emigrated from Paisley, Scotland, although no one has so far traced his ancestry there successfully.

He quickly established himself in Virginia and owned three hundred acres in James City County as early as 1704. he later owned large tracts of land in Surry County, and Brunswick County, the latter granted in 1736.

He was surveyor of Brunswick County in 1733 and sheriff there between 1733 and 1739. He served as Justice of the Peace in Brunswick County from 1732 until 1746. He was also a vestryman of St. Andrew's Parish for many years.

We know from his will that his wife predeceased him, but her name is not known, nor whether they were married in Scotland or Virginia.
