Captain John McNabb b1732 Dollar Scotland d 1802 London, left a legacy of £60,000 (£10m in todays money) that eventually became Dollar Academy built in 1818.  His legacy sustained the education of the local poor for over a hundred years and the school still thrives today.  Was this the other Capt John McNabb that your gggg-f changed his name spelling because of?   I wonder if you have come across any other reference to him during your research.  All we know is he eventually became a wealthy ship owner.
