• Notes

  From The Ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley and His Wife Emma Arabella Bosworth (citation details below): George Hubbard came to Wethersfield, Conn., 1636, presumably with the settlers from Watertown, Mass. In 1642 he removed to Milford, and about 1649 to Guilford, where he bought the lands of Jacob Sheaffe, 22 Sept. 1648, and died in Jan. 1682/3. He married Mary, who died 14 Sept. 1676. He was admitted to Milford Church, 15 Jan. 1642/3, and was dismissed to Guilford, 6 Oct. 1650; his wife Mary was admitted to Milford Church, 4 Aug. 1644. Their children, Daniel, Abigail, and Hannah, were baptized together at Milford, 26 May 1644. Repeated statements, in the Hubbard history and elsewhere, to the effect that his wife Mary was a daughter of John and Ann Bishop of Guilford, are without foundation in fact. No record proof exists, and the known ages of children of George Hubbard and of those of John Bishop show that they belonged approximately to the same generation, and a study of the dates makes it clear that George Hubbard and his wife were contemporaries in age of John Bishop and his wife. The will of John Bishop's widow gave a small legacy to her granddaughter Elizabeth Hubbard, and these erroneous statements are apparently based on this slender bit of evidence, which proves nothing until this Elizabeth Hubbard is definitely identified. Mr. Hubbard had a long career in public service. He was Deputy for Wethers ield to the Connecticut General Court, Mar. and Apr. 1638, Apr., Aug. and Sept. 1639, Apr. 1640, Feb. and Apr. 1641, and Apr. and Aug 1642; Deputy for Guilford to the New Haven General Court, May 1655, May 1657, May 1658, May 1659, Aug. 1661, and May 1662; Deputy for Guilford to the Connecticut General Court, Oct. 1665 and Oct. 1666; and Commissioner or Magistrate for Guilford, 1665, 1666, 1667, and 1670.
