The Great Migration Begins: 1620-33, Part 2: Edmund HOBART,
By Coralynn Brown - Aug 2, 2000
Categories: HOBART info, Massachusetts
Migrated in 1633, settled in Charlestown (MA), removed to Hingham
in 1635.
Made freeman Marach 4, 1633-34 as Edmund Hubbert'
The offices to which he was elected and appointed and the
educational attainments of his sons indicate that Edmund Hobart had received an
education above average for his time.
He was Charlestown Constable, 1635, lotlayer and assessor Jan 9,
1633-34.
Deputy for Hingham to MA Bay General Court, May 22, 1639,
9/4/1639, 10/7/1640 9/8/1642. Commissioner to end small causes for Hingham,
1638, 1639, 1641. Grand Jury,
9/19/1637. Committee to levy a colony rate, 6/6/1639.
"Edmund Hobart" was one who drew his houselot at Hingham
9/18/1635.
Although there are no records that purport to be the settlement of
Edmund's estate at his death, the grant by Peter Hubbard of Hingham to his
brother, Thomas Hubbard of Hingham of "ten acres of land...also twenty
acres of land with five acres of meadow....also one great lot containing thirty
acres...all which was granted by a deed of sale dated 11/20/1647" may have
had some relation to Edmund's estate, perhaps left in the hands of his son Rev.
Peter, who evidently kept his step-mother for several years after Edmund's
death.
Edmund's birth: abt 1575
based on date of marriage.
Death: Hingham,
3/8/1646-47.
Marriage:
(1) Margaret Dewey in Hingham, on Sept 7, 1600. She died before Oct 1634 when her husband
remarried. It is not certain that she
survived to come to New England, especially since she did not join the
Charlestown church with her husband on 10/19/1633.
(2) Sarah (_______) Lyford Oakley, in Charlestown 10/10/1634. She born abt 1586, widow of Rev. John
Lyford. She died in Hingham on
6/23/1649. Edmund Hobart was guardian
to the children of his second wife, and was otherwise inolved in securing their
inheritance from their father.
1. Nazareth, bp 6/7/1601, m (1) Robert Turner in 1626, (2) John
Beal, as his second wife, 7/13/1630.
John Beal m (3) Mary Gilman Jacob in 1658=59, widow of Nicholas Jacob.
ARE YOU as confused as I AM?
2. Edmund, bp 1/16/1602-3, m Elizabeth Elmer in 1632 in Hingham.
3. Peter, bp 10/13/1604, m (1)
Rebecca Ibrook 10/12/1628 in Covehithe, Suffolk. dau of Richard
Ibrook. (2) Rebecca Peck, in 1646?, dau
of Joseph Peck.
4. Thomas, bp 2/23/1605-06, m Anne Plomer in Wymondham, Norfolk on
6/2/1629 (2) m Jane_______who d as his widow on 2/18/1690.
5. Alice, bp 3/22/1606-07, married Thomas Chubbuck in Hardingham,
Norfolk on 2/28/1631-32.
6. Anthony, bp 10/8/1609,
buried 12/22/1609.
7. Edward, bp 11/4/1610, buried 11/28/1610.
8. Rebecca, bp 12/29/1611, admitted to Charlestown church 1633, no
further record. (some say she became
the wife of Edward Bangs, but this volume does not think so.)
9. Joshua, bp 10/9/1614, admitted to Charlestown church 1633, m
Ellen Ibrook in Cambridge, March 1637-38.
She dau of Richard Ibrook.
10. Sarah, bp 12/26/1617, no further record.
In 1951 Clarence Almon Torrey summarized the family of Edmund
Hobart, with inclusion of all the English records known at that time. Rev. Peter Hobart maintained a record of
many of the vital events occurring in HIngham during his lifetime, and this was
published in 1967.
DO
YOU NOTICE THAT EDMUND HOBART HAD NO SON NAMED GEORGE?? This helps us keep those George Hubbards OUT
of Edmund's descendants, as well they should be.

The Great Migration Begins: 1620-33 Benjamin Hubbard,
By Coralynn Brown - Aug 2, 2000
Categories: Massachusetts
First: My understanding is
that this Great Migration lasted until the end of the 1630s. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I was also under the impression that both George Hubbards had
emigrated by 1633, but, according to this chronicle, the only Hubbards they
acknowledge are:
1. BENJAMIN HUBBARD, migrated 1633 to Charlestown (MA?) then
returned to England permanently in 1644.
He was a syrveyor, very well educated, was Clerk of the writs for
Charlestown in 1641. Owned property in Charlestown.
Married by 1633 Alice________.
Alice is named as mother of all Benjamin's children and she remained in
New England when her husband left for Eng in 1644. Son James may have been born after the father's departure.
(This man is becoming more charming by the minute, aye what?!)
Children:
1. Benjamin b 3/24/1634, bp 3/30/1634.
2. Elizabeth b 4/4/1636, bp 5/16/1636.
3. Thomas b 5/31/1639, bp 6/3/1639.
4. Hannah b 12/16/1641.
5. James b 9/9/1644.
Edmund HOBART of Hingham, Norfolk, and his sons resided in
Charlestown briefly in the mid-1630s before moving on to Hingham. There is no indication whatever that they
were related to Benjamin Hubbard.
Roger Williams, in a letter to John Winthrop dated 11/10/1637
noted that "I received a letter from some in Charlestown (in special from
one Benjamin Hubbard) intimating his and others desire to be my neighbors in
some place near adjoining.
On 2/25/1644-45, Benjamin Hubbard wrote two letters from London to
John Winthrop Sr. and John Winthrop Jr.
These letters imply clearly that Hubbard had recently sailed to England
(with the assistance of the Winthrops) and that he had left his wife (&
presumably children) behind. In both of
these letters, Hubbard indicates that he has arrnaged "a trial of my
invention concerning longitude before artists."
Hubbard's quick disposal of most of his land indicates that he was
not supporting himself through agricultural pursuits. His status as "Mr" hints that he may have arrived with
considerable resources, and several bits of evidence indicate that he aspired
to make a name for himself among experts in surveying and navigation, and
partially at least supported himself in these pursuits. There is no indication that he returned to
New England, and there is no further record of his wife or children in New
England either. A search for him in
England could be rewarding, as he had soon established contacts in the academic
world after his return.
A widow Elizabeth Hubbard made a will in Boston in Dec 1643,
naming sons Benjamin and Richard & daughters Hannah, Sarah and Rachel. Savage and Wyman claim that this is the
mother of this Benjamin Hubbard, but there is no particular reason to belive
this.
Wyman inserts a son, Ichabod, from Hobart's Journal, but this must
belong to one of the Hobarts of Hingham.
In 1895 Edward Warren Day made a number of claims about the
English origin and later fate of Benjamin Hubbard, but this author's work is
generally unreliable.
MY TAKE on all of this:
If Benjamin's wife, Alice and the five children seem to have
disappeared off the radar screen genealogically, I am wondering if she
remarried and her new husband adopted the children, changing their last names
to match his. It would certainly help
them in matters of inheritance...if such a thing could be done.
IF Alice kept the surname Hubbard and her five children as well,
ONE of us would certainly have them pop up on our pedigree charts, wouldn't you
think?? Somewhere out there are Hubbard
descendants who have no clue that they indeed are.
Ve-ry
in-ter-es-ting.

Some Hubbard men married Mayflower descendants,
By Coralynn Brown - Jan 14, 2000
I was looking at this big chart I made up of my lines back to
Edward Doty, Richard Warren, Francis Cooke, Thomas Rogers and Stephen Hopkins
and wondered how many other Hubbard descendants could actually be descended
from the last two mentioned through the people the Hubbard men in their lines
married. Unfortunately, we tend to more
heavily research the individuals who carry the family name, and the women they
marry may have some wonderful lineages we don't always pursue.
Another thing is: how many
of these women's parents gave birth to a whole raft of children and we only
have access to the name of our ancestress.
Her siblings would partake of this Mayflower heritage as well. Something to work on, yes? (start researching out the maternal lines
more fully.)
Right now I have before me my fancy-shmancy chart of Mayflower
passengers that shows:
Timothy Hubbard (b 1767 Haddam CT) m Eunice Thomas (same)
Eunice's father, Ebenezer Thomas (1727,Barnstable MA)
m Abigail Brooks (b 1732 Haddam, CT)
Ebenezer's father, Roger Thomas m Susanna Snow
back one more: Ebenezer
SNOW m Hope Horton
back one more: Stephen
Snow m Susannah Deane Rogers
back one more: Nicholas Snow m Constance Hopkins.
Constance Hopkins' father was Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins.
This is just one example of how you have to look for surnames that
'click'. Snow, for one.
Delano is a name that could possibly lead you back to:
Richard Warren (M/flr), and, in some cases, Edward Doty
(M/flr), Remember Franklin Delano
Roosevelt? Where do you think that
middle name came from? Bingo!!
I know we aren't a Mayflower genealogical website, but there are
goodies out there that are almost as fun as tracking down missing Hubbard
(???).

Massachusetts Hubbards/John O'Bird/Acadians/Nova Scotia,
By Arthur M Hubbard - Dec 6, 1999
Categories: CANADA, Massachusetts
I found the following interesting,
Copied this from Genforun:
Those Hubbards living in the Massachusetts area may be descendants
of John O'Bird (Irish)who married an exiled Acadian during the English
expulsion of the french Acadians. John and his wife returned to Nova Scotia,
and because of the french pronunciation of his name it was converted to
Hubbard. Many of his descendants then returned to the US and are still living
there.
The Hubbard name in Nova Scotia (Yarmouth Co) owes its existance
to one John O'Bird or O'Burd of the Irish Nation (according to his marriage
certificate).The name O'Bird first appears as Hubbard in the records kept by
the English gov't. In contrast, census enumerators of different years used
various spellings of O'Bird or O'Burd. This probably occurred because an
English speaking person compiling these gov't records listened to the name
pronounced by a French speaking person, and thought the name was Hubbard as the
French do not pronounce the letter "H"
The majority of HUBBARD names in Nova Scotia were always in the
southernmost region of Yarmouth County. There is a community called Hubbards
Point near Tusket in Yarmouth County. There was always a lot of contact between
that end of NS and New England and New York areas, and many people from NS went
to the USA to work when times were hard here.
Many of the Hubbard's in Yarmouth County have French as their
first language (all would be bilingual English/French).
You can find out how many Hubbard's are found throughout Canada by
going to - www.canada411.com - use "Search All" or name of Province.
For ALBERTA, you must use - www.alberta.com - For SASKATCHEWAN, you must use -
www.sasktel.com -.
Hubbards in Nova Scotia have spread out from the Yarmouth end, but
most are still found in that part of the province. If you look up the names in
the phone listings, the ones around Yarmouth would have phone numbers starting
with 742-, 749-, 643-, 648-, 663-, 649-, and maybe 761-, 762-, or 645-.

Gleanings - Rev. William HUBBARD of Ipswich,
By - Aug 27, 2000
Categories: Hubbard Gleanings!!!, MASS.
History of Ipswich, Essex, and Hamilton; Joseph B.
Felt; Massachusetts. 1966.
1681, May 3d. Mr Richard HUBBARD of the Hamlet d.
His wife Sarah survived him. She is supposed to have been a daughter of
Governor Bradstreet, and, for her second husband, m. Samuel Ward, of
Marblehead, before July 24th, 1684, who lost his life in Canada expedition as
Major, 1690. Mr. HUBBARD left children; Sarah, m. to the Rev. John Cotton of
Yarmouth, Richard, Nathaniel, John, and Simon. His estate was 1457 5s. He was
son of Mr. Wm. HUBBARD, and brother of the Rev. Wm. HUBBARD. He graduated at
Harvard College 1653, held principal offices in the town, and was Deputy to the
General Court 1660.
Ibid:
WILLIAM HUBBARD, Minister of the First Church,
Ipswich, MA He was son of William,
who was an eminent inhabitant of Ipswich, and afterwards of Boston. He was born in England 1621, came with his
father to Massachusetts about 1630, and took his degree with the class who
first graduated at Harvard College in 1642. --- 1656, July 4th. He is desired
to preach for the Society here, as colleague with Mr. Cobbet. --- 1667; He was one of the seventeen, who bore
testimony against the Old Church in Boston, when they settled John Davenport
from New Haven. -- 1671, May 31st. He is one of the fifteen, who send in a long
and able protest to the General Court, against the censure passed on them by a
Committee of the Legislature of 1670, for being of the Council who formed the
South Church of Boston. To this protest the Court replied, and apologized for
some severe and improper expressions of the committee. --- 161675, Nov.
4th. With other clergymen, Mr. Hubbard
advises the Church at Rowley to cease from their contention about Mr. Jeremiah
Shepard, who had preached for them, and was much wanted by some for their
pastor, and not by others. --- 1676. He preaches an able Election Sermon. ---
1677. He is tried in having a part of his people at Chebacco much engaged in
endeavours to have Mr. Shepard for their minister. His chief objection to this
candidate was, that he had not become a member of any church. March 29th, his
first Historical work receives the approbation of the colonial licensers, and
was soon published in Boston. It contained "A Narrative of the Troubles
with the Indians in 1676 and 1677, with a Supplement concerning the War with
the Pequods in 1637," and a Table and Postscript; also, "A Narrative
of the Troubles with the Indians in New England from Piscataqua to
Pemaquid." The same book was licensed in London, June 27th, and was
immediately printed there under the title, "Present State of New
England." Mr. Hubbard was on a visit to England in 1678, and was probably
there to superintend the publishing of this work. He returned from this voyage by
October, to the great satisfaction of his parishioners. What he thus gave to
the public, was afterwards thrown into the present form of his "Indian
Wars." --- 181680, May 19th. " As Mr. Hubbard hath compiled a History
of New England, a committee are chosen to peruse the same and report, so that
the General Court may judge about having it printed." 1682, June 24th. He
delivers a Fast Sermon, and, in September, a Discourse on the Death of General
Dennison. Both of these were superior productions, and were printed. Oct. 11th.
The Legislature vote him 50 for his History of New England. --- 1683, Feb.
17th. They order a half of this sum to be paid him now, if "he procure a
fayre coppie to be written, that it be fitted for the presse." Such a copy
was obtained, and was amended by his own hand. The Massachusetts Historical
Society, aided by a liberal donation from the General Court, had it printed in
a volume, distinct from those of their Collections, which contain it, in 1815.
This History of Mr. Hubbard was chiefly indebted for its facts to the Journal
of Governor Winthrop. Had his parochial labors allowed him to increase the
information in his book, much more than they did, so that he could have saved a
greater share of credible traditions, and of events passing in his time, the
worth of its pages would have been proportionably enhanced. Still, as it is,
this work has been of much service to the most eminent New England historians.
There is reason to believe, from the known fairness of his character, that, had
not the introductory leaves of his manuscript History been lost, there would be
found in them not only a reference to Winthrop and Johnson, but to other
authorities, as the sources of his materials, so that no suspicion of pretence
to originality, for the greater part of these materials, could be justly
charged to him. His History was long under the supervision of an intelligent
committee, appointed by the General Court. This committee could judge whether,
with the helps, as then existing, for the compilation of such a work, Mr.
Hubbard had done it in a commendable manner. They did report to the
Legislature, that his exertions in this respect were worthy of praise, and that
he ought to receive, what was then thought a liberal compensation. Their
opinion weighed much in his favor then, and it should not be light with us now.
Though his History is much less consulted since the documents for much of it
have been published, yet its author should be held in grateful and honorable
remembrance for doing far more than any of his contemporaries, for resorting to
secret lights, and bringing them out to the view of the public, so that they
might more clearly and interestingly look back on the events of their beloved
country. The voyager who dares exceed the lines of latitude, within which most
others sail, and by such enterprise, though guided by rare charts, brings us
the rich productions of a climate, where we will not go ourselves, should share
largely in our esteem, however the track he pursued may afterwards become a
common one, and the guides he followed become familiar to all. --- 1684. Eliot says, "Mr. Hubbard presided at
Commencement. This was after the death of President Rogers." It appears
that Mr. Rogers died very suddenly the day after Commencement, that the duties
of that occcasion hastened his end, and that Mr. Hubbard did not then preside.
It is probable, that the statement of Dr. Eliot was derived from the following.
751688, June 2d. Mr. Hubbard is appointed by Sir Edmund Andros to officiate as
President of the College the following Commencement. As there were no degrees
conferred this year, it is doubtful whether Mr. Hubbard complied with this
honorary appointment. --- 1686. Mr. Hubbard receives a visit from John Dunton,
who gave the subsequent description of him. "The benefit of nature, and
the fatigue of study, have equally contributed to his eminence. Neither are we
less obliged to both than himself; he freely communicates of his learning to
all, who have the happiness to share in his converse. In a word, he is learned
without ostentation and vanity, and gives all his productions such a delicate
turn and grace (as seen in his printed Sermons and History of the Indians),
that the features and lineaments of the child make a clear discovery and
distinction of the father; yet he is a man of singular modesty, of strict
morals, and has done as much for the conversion of the Indians, as most men in
New England." This is no flattery. It had the sanction of truth. -- Mr.
Hubbard receives aid in the ministry from John Dennison. --- 21694, March 15th.
He contracts to marry Mary, widow of Samuel Pearce, who died 1691. This
marriage soon took place. It was not agreeable to most of his parish. They
would allow her to be a worthy woman, but not of sufficient note to be their
minister's wife. Mr. Hubbard, however, set more by intellectual, moral, and
pious qualifications, as he ought, than by those, which rest on the arbitrary,
and oftentimes incorrect, decisions of public partiality. --- 1696, June 26th. An interesting letter of this date, written
from Ipswich to John Archdale, Governor of South Carolina, about emigrants
going from this town to that Colony, bears conclusive marks of being Mr.
Hubbard's. --- 1699. Mr. Hubbard, with others, protests against the declaration
of Brattle Street Church in Boston, as too lax in doctrine, the ordinance of
baptism, and admission to communion. --- 1701. He publishes with his friend,
Mr. Higginson of Salem, "Dying Testimony to the Order of the
Churches." --- 1702. Mather says, in his Magnalia, " Mr. J. Higginson
and Mr. W. Hubbard have assisted me and much obliged me with information for
many parts of our History." Aug.
2d, on account of his inability through age, to carry on the ministry, Mr.
Hubbard desires his church to get him more help. --- 1703, May 6th. He gives up
all ministerial labor, and his people vote him 60 as a gift. --- Thus
gradually approaching his latter end, with which he had held frequent
communion, he died Sept. 14th, 1704, Ʈ 83. Oct. 26th, his congregation vote
32 to pay his funeral charges. --- His house was about one hundred rods from
the late Dr. Dana's meeting-house, near the bank of the river, commonly called
Turkey Shore. His first wife was Margaret, the daughter of the Rev. Nathaniel
Rogers. She was a lady of excellent reputation. He had three children, John,
Nathaniel, and Margaret, who m. John Pynchon of Springfield. His last wife,
Mary, was living in 1710, when his people administered to her necessities.
Though Mr. Hubbard had a large patrimony, yet he expended this as well as his
salary in the support of his family, and in discharging the duties of
hospitality and other beneficence. As an intelligent and judicious adviser, he
was called on many councils, and had a prominent part in them. He spent his
days, he toiled, for knowledge both human and divine; he put forth the energies
of his mind, he faithfully complied with his obligations, as a member of
society and a minister of the gospel; he sought the salvation of the heathen,
as well as of the civilized, not to lay up his chief treasure on earth, but in
heaven, -- not to gain the applause of men, as his supreme good, but the
approbation of God. His object has its unchangeable commendation in the Word of
Eternal Truth. Though he lived long, he labored till the last to be found
faithful. Nor was his exertion unnoticed nor unrewarded by Him, who rules over
all. He was made an instrument for turning back the captivity of many souls.
Mr. Hubbard "certainly was for many years the most eminent minister in the
County of Essex, equal to any in the Province for learning and candor, and
superior to all his contemporaries as a writer." Thus approved by human testimony, there is cause to believe, that
he found his "record on high," as a passport to the mansions of
blessedness.

renown to that worthy & excellent man, the Rev. William HUBBARD. For an account of him as well as others, who
should be mentioned, we can only refer out reader to the work of Mr. Felt. But as every thing is of the greatest
interest which in any way concerns that eminent individual, we note the
following facts which happen to be known to us:--
"15 Feb 1665. William HUBBARD of Ipswich
& Mary his wife deed to Robert & Samuel Williams of Roxbury, 'all that
hie fowerteen acres of Salt Marsh, be it more or sesse Lying at the lower end
of the field called ye Lower Calves Pasture, within the precincts of Roxbury,
and not farre from the tyde mill in Dorchester,' &c.
"Concerning what the author has said about
Mr. HUBBARD's presiding at the commencement in 1688, we offer the following
extract from an old manuscript letter, dated 2 July of that year, by Mr. John
Richards. Said letter was for Dr.
Increase Mather, then in London:-- 'The commencement is to be managed this year
by Mr. William HUBBARD of Ipswich. The
Govr. sent to Mr. Lee to do it, who likewise intended, but was not positive in
his answer, and so Mr. HUBBARD is to manage it. [He] hath been here about it.'
"In Judge Sewall's celebrated Diary is this
entry:- 14 Sept 1704, Thursday. Mr.
William HUBBARD of Ipswich, goes to the Lecture, after to Col. Appleton's, goes
home & dies that night."

HUBBARD
In the presence of Nath. Hathorne, Nathan
Rainsford, Beuiman Bram.
Nathan Ransford, aged 24 yeares or thereabouts,
sworne, saith that he being in the Barbadoes, in the Beginning of June last,
uisiting Peter HUBBERD, late of Boston, then Lying sicke there, he heard ye sd.
Peter HUBBERD Desire Edward Hunt, of said Barbadoes, to write his will, for he
sayd I Know I shall Dye; & when the sd Hunt had writt three or foure Lynes
from him, he caused him to read it to Him, and so did till all was writen &
reade ouer, and then Caused ye sd Hunt to read ouer all the whole, which he
Liked, & Declared that that was his will, Desiring him to get it fairly
transcribed, & when hee Did this, he was in his good & perfect understanding
to the Deponents best Knowledge & Discretion, only adds that two Dayes
after, when it was brought to the said Peter HUBBARD, Fairly written; & hee
desired to sighne & seale the same. He was then present, being not abue
twenty foure houres before his Death, & saw him sighne & seale the
same, but did not Judge him at yt Instant to bee Composmentis. Sworne by the sd. Nathan Rainsford, 21st
Nouember 1665; Edward Rawson Recorder.
Nathaniel Hwthorne, aged twenty sixe yeares, &
Benj. Bran, aged 25 yeares or thereabouts, Deposed, that hauing subscribed yr
manes to the fourth sheete of paper which the Late Peter HUBBARD Did sighne
& seale as his Last will, They wre present & did so doe, but at that
Instant they Judged him not to be Compos Mentis. Taken upon Oath ye 21st Nouember 1665; Edward Rawson Recorder.
May it please the Honoured Court, wee, whose names
are underwritten, Doe humblye Conceiue that the written will of the Late Peter
HUBBERD, which was brought from Barbadoes, was the true mind & will of the said
Peter. First, because it is testified
by one that was present with him in his Sicknesse, that when he was in good
memory & understanding he Desired that his will might be written, & did
Dictate to ye scriuener what he should write, & Caused the seueral
sentences therein to be read to him, wch he did owne & expresse that it was
his will, and although through the vilence of his Disease, infirmitie so fare
preuaile on him, that at the time, when hee Did sighne & seale the same,
hee was not thought to be Compos mentis, yet we are perswaded to beleiue that
it was his Reall Will, because theire is particular mention of such things as
we supposne none there but himselfe knew of.
And the substance of the written will is the same with wt he had before
expressed to us.
Those Deponents say, that the Late Peter HUBBERD,
at his going away to Barbadoes, he Desired us to take notice that if god shuld
take him away by Death that he should not haue time to write his will. His will was that his wife, Susanna HUBBERD,
should enjoy all that estate he had in this world, or that should bee Coming to
him from his Father, Capt. Joshua HUBBERD.
To the truth ofthis expressed, as spoken to us by the avouesaid Peter
HUBBERD, wee are ready to be Deposed if the honoured Court shall see
cause. John Hull, Jacob Elliot, Theoph.
Frayre; January 31, 1665.
Jacob Elliot & Theophilus Frayre deposed from
the beginning of the Interlyne (These Dispondents, &c.) Edward Rawson,
Recorder.
