"George1 Hubbard … married Mary _____, … Repeated statements, in the Hubbard history and elsewhere, to the effect that his wife Mary was a daughter of John and Ann Bishop of Guilford, are without foundation in fact. No record proof exists, and the known ages of children of George Hubbard and of those of John Bishop show that they belonged approximately to the same generation, and a study of the dates makes it clear that George Hubbard and his wife were contemporaries in age of John Bishop and his wife. The will of John Bishop's widow gave a small legacy to her granddaughter Elizabeth Hubbard, and these erroneous statements are apparently based on this slender bit of evidence, which proves nothing until this Elizabeth Hubbard is definitely identified."
