Eliza, William Macomb's youngest daughter, likewise followed the family custom of marrying into the army, her husband being Captain Henry Whiting of the First Artillery. For gallant service in the battle of Buena Vista he was brevetted a brigadier general. One of their sons spent his life in the navy, entering as a midshipman in 1841 and retiring forty years later with the rank of commodore. The summary here set forth suffices to suggest, although it is far from exhausting, the story of the contribution made by William Macomb's descendants to the cause of their country.
