Rev. Jeremiah Hobart

Notes:

Or Hubbard, in Royal Ancestry.

"Jeremiah Hobart, the second son of Rev. Peter Hobart, was born in England in 1631. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1650, in the class with his brother Joshua. After preaching at Bass River, now Beverly, and at other places, he was ordained at Topsfield, Mass., Oct. 2, 1672. His ministry there 'was far from being a smooth one,' and he was dismissed Sept. 21, 1680. In 1683 he was called to Hempstead, Long Island, and was installed Oct. 17, 1683. His labors were satisfactory, but finding it difficult to collect his salary of £70, he settled in Haddam, Conn., in 1691. Here again he found himself in the midst of difficulties and controversies, arising from various causes, and his ministry seems to have been far from 'smooth.' In 1714 Mr. Phineas Fish was settled as his colleague, and 'Nov. 6, 1715, being the Lord's Day, he attended public worship in the forenoon, and received the sacrament; and during the intermission expired, sitting in his chair.'" [History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, citation details below]

Jeremiah married Elizabeth Whiting on 6 Apr 1659. Elizabeth (daughter of Rev. Samuel Whiting and Elizabeth St. John) died after 22 Jan 1717 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Dorothy Hobart was born on 21 Aug 1679 in Topsfield, Essex, Massachusetts; died on 11 Mar 1731.

Peter married Elizabeth Ibrook on 12 Oct 1628 in Covehithe, Suffolk, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Richard Ibrook and Margaret Gentleman) died before 1646. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In The Great Migration Begins, volume 2, page 959, Robert Charles Anderson calls her "Rebecca" Ibrook, citing TAG 67:28. Clearly this is a slip, since the TAG article, by Anderson himself, establishes that Peter Hobart's first wife, a daughter of Richard and Margaret Ibrook, was named Elizabeth. Quoting the article, "English Marriages of New Englanders" (citation details below):

"In the parish record of Covehithe, co. Suffolk, about three miles north of Southwold along the Suffolk coast, is the following entry: Petrus Hubbard, curatus de Roydon, & Elizabetha Eybrook de Southwold iuncti matrimonio fueri [sic] 12 die mensis Octobris 1628 [Peter Hubbard, curate of Roydon, & Elizabeth Eybrook were joined in matrimony the twelfth day of the month of October 1628]."

Notes:

Also called Edmond Hobart. Emigrated, with his family, in 1633; first at Charlestown, then Hingham in 1635.

Edmond married Margaret Dewe on 7 Sep 1600 in Hingham, Norfolk, England. Margaret died before Oct 1634. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

As noted on her Wikitree page, the only actual record of her maiden name, the record of her marriage to Edmund Hobart, spells it "Dewe". Clarence Almon Torrey appears to have amended this to the more familiar "Dewey" and everyone else appears to have followed suit.

Notes:

He and his wife were first of Hingham in 1635, when Richard was granted land there.

Richard married Margaret Gentleman before 1607. Margaret was born before 1587; died on 3 Apr 1664 in Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
