Notes for SGT. RICHARD HUBBELL:
RICHARD HUBBELL, the first settler, was probably son of a Richard Hubbell who married at Bewdley, County Worcester, England, April 30, 1621, Sarah Wakeman, whose brothers John and Samuel Wakeman were prominent settlers in New Haven. Richard was born about 1627 and took the oath of fidelity at New Haven, March 7, 1647-8. He was admitted a planter at Guilford, Connecticut, February 25, 1653-4. About 1663 he removed to Fairfield, Connecticut, and was accepted as a freeman of Connecticut colony, October 13, 1664.

At Fairfield he was Sergeant of the trainband, and he served as Deputy to the General court at three sessions, May, 1678, 1679, and 1681. He acquired a good estate, and was an original member of the Stratfield church in 1695.

He married (first) about 1651, Elizabeth (see Meigs), daughter of John Meigs of Guilford; married (second) about 1669, Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Gaylord, born at Windsor, Connecticut, October 4, 1647, died probably early in 1688; married (third) by marriage contract dated April 16, 1688, Abigail, daughter of Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford, and widow of Joseph Walker of Stratford.

A peculiarity of this family is that he had two sons named Samuel, the one by his first wife being called Senior, and the one by his second wife, Junior. He died at Stratfield, October 23, 1699, in his 72nd year. His will, made a few months before his death, named his last wife and all his children. The widow died early in 1718, leaving a will.

Notes for ELIZABETH MEIGS:
Richard Hubbell was from Wales, and was on the fidelity list of 1647 in New Haven, where he married, in 1650, the daughter of John and Thomasine (Fry) Meigs [a son of Vincent Meigs]. The Meigs came from Weymouth to Guilford and New Haven, and John was at one time, 1648-58, second owner by purchase of the Cutler lot [S.E. corner of Chapel and Church streets, New Haven]. The deed of conveyance reads: "Wm Jeanes passeth over to John Meigs his house and house lot lying at the corner over against Mr. Gregson's--betwixt the house lot of John Budd and the highway." Col. Return Jonathan Meigs was a descendant, whose son became Governor of Ohio and Postmaster-General of the United States. Margaret Hubbell was born in 1681; her father, Lt. John, was interested in the settlement of Derby, Conn. He purchased of Samuel Sherman in 1683 a house and lot at "Old Mill" in Stratford, "next west of Samuel Blakeman's house." John Hubbell died of the small-pox in the Franco-Indian War, near Schenectady. His widow married, as we shall see, into the Hawley family. After the death of his first wife in 1704, John Glover married the widow Bethia (Beach) Bickley, widow of William Bickley, or Beckley, and daughter of Benjamin Beach, son of Richard of New Haven. By his first wife, Margaret Hubbell, John Glover, Jr., had a son John, born Dec. 30, 1701, who married, July 12, 1724, at Norwalk, Conn., Elizabeth Bennet, daughter of James and Sarah Bennett of Stratfield. This was a runaway match, just why we do not discover, for the families were intimate and friendly and no reason except possibly some one else in the case, or indeed it might have been as an old darkie Auntie of ours explained an elopement in her family: "Dunno Missy--reckon Laure done thought t'would save 'spense." This was the John who purchased land at Rye, 1742--"bought three acres of land on Grachus street, near Hyatt's Cove--he was of Newtown, Conn." And "in 1745, John Glover of Newtown Connt late of Rye--releases to Joseph Haight his right as a descendant of the ancient proprietors of the sd Town of Rye by purchase as that right was released to him by Robert Bloomer and Joseph Kniffen."

James Bennet, his wife's father, was son of James and Hannah (Wheeler) Bennet, who was from Concord, Mass.
