HUBBARD
There is not much known about Hugh Hubbard. He does not have a sketch in the Great
Migration series because he did not arrive in New England until much
later. There is no recent article or
book about Hugh Hubbard listed in the compilation New Englanders in the 1600s.
Several books state he was from Derbyshire, but there is no proof.
Hugh was born about 1640 in England and died in
Connecticut in 1685. He married Jane
Latham in New London, Connecticut on 18 March 1673, and they had six children. Only daughters survived childhood, so the
Hubbard name daughtered out very early.
Jane was the daughter of Cary Latham and Elizabeth Masters. After Hugh Hubbard’s death, she remarried to John
William. Jane died on 3 May 1739 at the
great age of 91.
"I
was at home & Diging stones & old Ms. Williams the wife of John William
of Groton was buried. She Died Yesterday
with Little Sickness worn out with Age being about 90. She was one of the Daughters of Cary Latham
the first of N. London who was Conteporary with my Grand father Robt
Hempsted. her first Husband was Hugh
Hubbard who kept N. London ferry about Sixty years ago." From The Diary of Joshua Hemptead of New London,
Connecticut, Covering a Period of Forty-Seven Years from September 1711 to
November 1758 by Joshua Hempstead, published by the New London County
Historical Society, New London, Connecticut, 1901, pages 349- 350. (Available to read at Google Books)
