He is attributed to Bratton, Wiltshire, England on the grounds as far as I know of not much. This was a common name. If he was born there, he was born (or more likely baptized 2 May 1612. However Great Migration Begins says his origins are unknown, and is most likely right.

COMMENTS: As a resident of New England in 1630 whose first known residence was Dorchester, William Hulbird is a possible passenger on the Mary & John, but as his Englsh origin is not as yet known he should not be placed there without further evidence. The gap of a year and a half between his request for freemanship and his admission may indicate that he made a return trip to England in the itnerim, although other explanations are possible. An English origin has eben propsed for Willliam Hulbird, based solely on the baptism of a "William Hulbert" at about the right time [M&JCH 13:9, citing "Book by Henry Calton Hulbert, date and publisher unknown", but this falls far short of proof.
In his list of "some omitted ni forer records being one yet had children born here," Mathew Garnt included "William Hulbard" as having had two children born during his residence at Windsor. (Grant 93), which corresponds with the two sons named Jhon, Savage, having taken notice of children Jhon, Sarah, Anna andWWilliam, waid there were "two others, whose names are not mentioned" (Savage 2:491). He may have based this statement on Grant's list of "some omitted," without knowing about the first John, and without realizing that it included the second John.
On 24 April 1649 Williiam Hulbird had a lawsuit against James Wakely (RPCC 62; CCCR 1:180)
On 5 July 1662 Edward Butler, Irishman, assaulted Rebecca Allen, daughter of Anne (__) (Allen) Hulbird, and stepdaugther of Wiliam Hulbird, as a result of which "Anne Hulburd the mother of Rebeccka Allen being about the age of 54 years" made her deposition two days later (SJC Case #468).
From Hurbut/ Hurlburt/ Hulbert Family Biographical Sketch. http://files.usgwarchives.org/il/montgomery/bios/hurlbut.txt
The second marriage to Ann, widow of Samuel Allen, was ebfore 26 Sep 1653. Removed to Northampton, MA 1657 or earlier and was charter member of the church thre. From the "History of Northampton" by L.R. Trumbull (1898) page 37; "The lots upon the highways just named having been occupid, settlers began to cluster around Meeting House Hill. William Hulbert is first mentioned as having a home lot in that vicinity. He had four acres with a boundary near the present lin e of Gothic Street. South of him were Jhon Ingersoll and Thomas Salmon. Above William Hulbert, where the Parochial School now is, was the homestead gratned to Nathaniel Phelps. His son, Nathaniel Pelps Jr.; had a grant of his father and together they owned a strip of land bordering on Park Street, from King Street brook to Prospect Steret. A highway very nearly coinciding with Gothic Street, gave access to the brickyard, located on the brook and Hulbert an outlet." He is listed as a passenger (William Hulbirt) of the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. His vessel landed at Boston with his destination Northampton, Massachusetts. (Planters of the Commonwealth-Banks).
William married Mary Howard abt 1693, in Enfield. Wiliam and Mary (Howard Hurlbut had 10 children. He married Ruth Salmon and they had a child named Berechiah Hurlbut.
William and his wife Mary Howard mvoed to New Haven, Connecituct, where three children were born (1705-1710). After Mary Howard's death the family returned to Efnield, Connececticut. They had five children in all.
**** Obadiah represented his mother's interests in Howard lands.
From Hale-House and Related Lines (Jacobus)
Samuel Allen's widow Ann married William Hulbert of Windsor, who had come probably in the Mary and John, 1630, and settled first at Dorchester. By 1647 he had moved to Hartford, where his homelot was recorded in May 1648. On 8 Sep 1655 he sold to William Lewis and moved to Northampton, Mass., where he died 7 Apr 1694.
The notes of the late Carles E. Banks, extracted from Winthrop's Medical Journal, show that John Winthrop in 1667 mentioned William Hulbert of Northampton, then above 60 years old; and in 1664, treated "Nehemiah Allen 30 yrs son of Goodman Hulberts wife of Northampton", and John Hulbert, 24 yrs, and Wiliam Hulbert, 10 years, sons of "G. Hulbert of Northampton".
The youngest son William was probably by the widow, Ann Allen, and quite possibly the daughter Ann was also, since she was born almost two full years after Samuel Allen died, and was given the name Ann. William Hulbert, Jr., apparently named his daughter Anna after his mother, and may have named his son Obadiah after his half-brother, Obadiah Allen.
One Thousand Years of Hubbards. William Hulberd (Hulbard, Hulbert, Hulburt, Hulburd, etc.) came from England to Dorchester, MA and applied for freemanship Oct 19, 1630. Made freeman April 3, 1632. Lived in Dorchester until 1635-6, when he sold out and moved to Windsor, Ct. He lived there on "Backer Row" until the Pequot War of 1637, when he, for consideration of safety, mvoed into the "public palisado." Land was apportioned to him in 1640. By his first wife (no record) he had John, William, Hannah, Abigail, Sara, and Anna. OIn April 1648, Samuel Allen died and William Hulberd married his widow. In 1637, he moved to Northampton, and died there in 1694.
1000 years of Hubbards gives William more children than does anyone else. By his first wife he ahd John, William, Hannah, who lived in Northampton and died in Enfield, Abigail, no record, Sara, b Jul 10, 1647, and Anna, bap Mch 17, 1648/9. Some of these were actually children of Ann Allen.
According to Search for the Passengers of the Mary and John, he possibly came on the Mary& John in 1630 as a young man. There was a William Hulbert bapt 1607 in Chippenham parish, Wiltshire, England, the same county where two other "Mary and John" passengers originated; Roger Ludlow and Stephen Terry. William first settled in Dorchester, Mass., and moved to Windsor, Ct (1636), Hartford,Ct and Northampton, MA. Two children by first wife and two by second.

Gil Hurlbut, on the HulburdGen page, says that Per Sharon Sims in Clink - Hulbert Prairie State Immigrants posted in www.gencircles.com, William I m 26 Sep 1643 "Ann Amy", however, the birth of his two oldest children makes this unlikely, unless Ann Amy were the second of three wives, and mother of only his daughter Sarah. Tehre is a ca 7 year gap between teh birthso of his second son John and his daughter Sarah. I think that if the date were really 1648 it could have been his marriage to Ann Allen. Clearly it is not known where Sharon Sims got that.
Gil Hulbird gives them daughter Ruth Hulburd who died in 1692 in Northampton.
Gil Hulbirt says that according to Planters of the Commonwelath Banks, William Hulbert I is listed as a passenger (as Wuilliam Hulbirt) of the Winthrop fleet in 1630. His veseel landed at Boston with his destination Northampton MA. Other accounts that Gil likes better say that William came to Dorchester, MA on the Mary and John ni 1630, and sold land there in 1635. Ship Mary and John had sailed from Plymouth, England, with 140 passengers aboard. Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset, recruited all of the families. Nearly all came from west country of England, which included the counties of Somerset, Dorset and Devon. Ship landed in New England on 30 May 1630, two weeks before the Winthrop fleet arrived. These people founded Dorchester in 1630, and Windsor, CT five years later.
His first wife Ann Amy died in Hartford, CT. He owned land in Hartford in 1648 (see above).
Date of marriage to Ann Allen is not known. Before birth of their first child whichever was their first child. William II was definitely a child of Ann Allen.
William moved to Northampton in 1657 or earlier, and was a charter member of the church there. According to fai ly researcher Barbara Martin, "' it is recorded that when William settled in Northampton he took with him the Allen children and his own'", however, Gil says he can't locate her source. However, per GMB, on 5 Jul 1662, Edward Butler, and Irishman, assaulted Rebecca Allen which resulted in "Anne Hulburd the mother of Rebecca Allen being about 54 years"making a deposition two days later.
From "History of Northampton"by LR Trumbull, p 37. :The lots upon the higways just named having been occupied, settlers began to cluster around Meeting House Hill. William Hulburd/ Hulbert is first mentioned as having a home lot in that vicinity."
William Hulburd I, his wife and his children except for William II, apparently spent the rest of their lives ni Northampton. However William II moved back to Enfield CT sometime between his first and second marriages wehre he amrried Mary Howard, raised a family, and eventually marriedHannah (nee Whittaker) Hulet around 1710, and spent the rest of his life in Enfield.
