THE HUBBARDS.
The founder of the family in America was William Hubbard, who settled in Plymouth, Mass., in 1621. His son, subsequently the Rev. William Hubbard, was nine years of age at that time. The latter was educated at Harvard College and received the degree of A. B. at the age of twenty-one. He became an assistant minister at New Ipswich, and was
the author of several historical works. In 1688, he was appointed by Sir Edward Andros, the president of Harvard College and served honorably in that capacity for several years. He died in 1704, at the age of eighty-three. His wife was Margaret Rogers, a daughter of Rev.
Nathaniel Rogers, and a great grand daughter of Rev. John Rogers, the martyr. His son John Hubbard was father of Rev. John Hubbard, who graduated at Harvard in 1695. The latter was the father of Dr. John Hubbard, who was also a Colonel and subsequently a General in the
militia. He was a well known poet and literateur, and ranked among the celebrities in the literary world. He was the father of Dana Hubbard, who located in Wheeling in 1819. His wife was Asenath Dorman, of whom we enclose an article from the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate, written by Rev. Dr. A. C. George, of Wheeling, on the 18th of May, 1878.
