John Cubbins : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Cubbins John Cubbins (''ca.'' 1827 - ''ca.'' 1894) was an American businessman from Memphis, Tennessee who served in the Tennessee State Senate during the 36th Tennessee General Assembly (1869-1871) as a "Labor Democrat".〔(Black, Diane, compiler. ''Tennessee Senators: Alphabetical Listing – Individual Names'' Nashville: Tennessee State Library And Archives (n.d.); p. 19 )〕 He also went by the name John Cubbin in many legal documents as this was the original Manx spelling. Adding the "s" was an attempt at Americanising the name. == Background == Originally from the Isle of Man, Cubbins was a businessman whose Memphis-based brickyard John Cubbins & Co. opened a niter works in Searcy County, Arkansas in 1861 after the outbreak of the American Civil War, when gunpowder was in high demand.〔Johnston, James J.
