INTRODUCTION
This book is the second in a series under the general title
MEET YOUR ANCESTORS. The first book dealt with the ancestors of the
compiler's mother who was the daughter of Jacob Sours who married Susan
Gray. That book was issued in 1981 as MEET YOUR ANCESTORS: Siers, Sowers,
Sours and allied families 1740-1980.
While collecting facts for the first book I also began gathering
data concerning my father's family. He was John Mitchell Hubbard.
Starting with the full name of my grandfather, John Fuller Hubbard, whom
I never saw, and the full name of his wife, Stella Clement (Mitchell)
Hubbard, whom I saw only once, I have prepared this second book.
My grandmother Hubbard's visit lasted one week when I was six
years old. She won my heart and that visit made a lasting impression.
The day after my grandmother went home, I was alone out in the swing under
a beautiful oak tree. My mother came out and found me crying. "Why are
you crying?". "Grandma's gone!" was my reply.
I was interested, years later, in trying to learn about my father's
parents. As a school girl studying history, I found that my father did not
know the name of his first ancestor who came to America. "They said he
lived in Westmoreland County, Virginia." No one could tell me more. Years
later, Elnora Louise (Hubbard) Robinson, one of my first cousins, recalled
that her father, Montezuma Hubbard, said that the first Hubbard ancestor
came to America and had three sons, but she could not remember the names.
No one living then knew their names.
In 1905 and 1906 while one of the first co-eds at Richmond College
(now Richmond University) in Richmond, Va. I studied history under Professor
S. C. Mitchell who said "Consult Court Records to be certain of accurate
facts." I have followed this advice so far as records have been available.
This study does not claim to have consulted all the records that exist.
Time did not always permit me to follow through. Many records exist which
I have not had an opportunity to examine.
Beqinning with the known ancestors and working through Court
Records and Census Records the compiler has been able to reconstruct the
main Hubbard family line back to the Hubbard, an immigrant in Westmoreland
County, Va., recalled by John Mitchell Hubbard (1849-1914). The immigrant's
name proved to be Robert Hubbard (cal600-1663). Through Robert Hubbard's
son, Mathew Hubbard, who was one of the three sons recalled by Montezuma
Hubbard (1851-1914) research proved his brothers" names were John and
Robert. Thus, Robert Hubbard (cal600-1663), immigrant, settled in. West
moreland County, Va., and his three sons were named Mathew,'John and Robert.
This study proved that Mathew was the son through whom John
Mitchell Hubbard's family descended, and this study has been limited to
that line. The documentation included in the text would assist descend
ants of Robert, Jr. or John to trace their lines.
Through Bible Records, other family records, census records and
court records this line of Hubbards is documented back to Joseph Hubbard
(cal717-1799) who is verified by court records to be a brother of Sarah
(Hubbard) Echols, Edward Hubbard and Benjamin Hubbard. Benjamin deeded
land to his brother Joseph in Amelia Co., Va. and Benjamin's patent proves
he is from King William County, Va. and no one except Benjamin (cal680/86-
) can be found in the records of that county who could be his father.
In 1704 John Hubbard (cal661-1726) was on the Quit Rent Roll; he had
inherited the land there from his father, the Mathew Hubbard (1627-1667)
who had two brothers, John and Robert Hubbard. Mathew, John and Robert
were the sons of Robert Hubbard (cal600-1663) who immigrated to Westmore
land County, Va. before the mid-seventeenth century.
This study follows through to the 13th generation in which there
are several male children with the surname Hubbard.
The compiler hopes that some of those who read and study the facts
given here will be inspired to build opon this foundation and to do further
research.
In so far as time and facts permitted, the allied families have
been included. The compiler has endeavored to give credit to each one who
furnished information. Such credits are mentioned in the text where the
information appears.
The compiler wishes to explain here why her son is named Robert
Hubbard Bowling, because those who do not know might surmise that he was
named for his immigrant ancestor, Robert Hubbard. That was not the case.
He was named many years before this family research was undertaken. He
was named Robert for his father Robert Bowling. We wished to give him a
middle name and his father suggested "Hubbard" so as to identify him with
his mother's family,—thus Robert Hubbard Bowling.
