... Abigail, dau. of Elijah Hubbard, she was born at Middletown, Conn., Oct. 18, 1767, and died at North Bennington, March 24, 1846.
The emigrant ancestor of Abigail Hubbard was George Hubbard (born in Wakefield, England, in 1594, and came to Hartford from Boston 1636), was an early settler of Middletown, and near neighbor to John Hall, her husband's emigrant ancestor. They were both settled about the meeting house yard at the northern end of Main street, and both were prominent inhabitants, as may be seen by the Middletown Address of the Rev. David D. Field, pages 40, 146 and 149. Their descendants became strangers to each other. The lineal descent of Abigail from George Hubbard was through the following ancestors, all born at Middletown, viz.: Nathaniel, b. Dec. 10, 1652; Ebenezer, b. Oct. 2, 1690 ; Elijah, b. Jan. 16, 1737. She could also claim her descent from the Rev. Samuel Stow, the first minister of Middletown, her grandmother, wife of Ebenezer Hubbard, having been his granddaughter.
