Notes for Edmund Hobart, Jr: FROM "ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF HUBBARD HISTORY" The Hingham Mutiny The brothers Thomas, Edmund and Joshua, were fined for "sedition" June 28, 1645, for participating in the Hingham Mutiny against the authority of Lt. Anthony Eames. Their brother, Peter, who was previously criticized for his allegiance to the king, defended them against these charges which were of insubordination and were preferred by Lt. Anthony Eames, commanding officer of the "train band." This was a bitter and disagreeable quarrel which agitated Hingham for many years. The various participants were fined a sum total of 155 pounds, 108, to which Joshua contributed 20 pounds, Edmund 5 pounds, Thams and Peter 2 pounds each. Joshua figured prominently in the Hingham Mutiny which was a revolt against the authority of Lt. Eames. The "train band" was a famous militia organization in those days. Bozoun Allen, whose cause Joshua espoused, was elected captain in opposition to Eames, and so fierce was the factional feeling resulting from it that the grave magistrates at Boston were kept busy many months in their efforts to quell the agitation this disturbance had brought into the community. The Hingham Mutiny occupied a prominent place in colonial matters in those days and made the warmest friends bitter foes, threatening alike at one period to disrupt that prosperous colony. Afterward, Joshua was made captain of this Artillery Company.---"One Thousand Years of Hubbard History." |

Afterward, Joshua was made captain of this Artillery Company.---"One Thousand Years of Hubbard History." FROM "ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF HUBBARD HISTORY" Peter was married twice, both names unknown. He came to America with his first wife and the first four children listed. The other children may have been by the second wife. Peter arrived in America with his wife and four children aboard a ship that was one of a fleet of seven vessels. From his journal: "1635--June 8, I, with my wife and four children, came safely to new England June 8, 1635. Forever preaised be the God of Heaven, my God and my King!" Peter, with 29 others, founded Hingham (name changed from Bear Cove), MA, formally drawing their houselots upon that day. From 1635 to 1679 he preached in Hingham, according to the memorial tablet now in the church, which was open for public worship January 8, 1682, the land being donated by Capt. Joshua Hobart, Peter's youngest brother. The new church cost "430 pounds and the old house." Peter was then dead. Rev. Robert Peck was his colleague, or "teacher," the functions of which office were "doctrinal and scriptural explanation," the minister's being "private and public exhortation." Peter was an independent and spirited clergyman and espoused somewhat too warmly his late sovereign's cause and English customs generally, which occasionally brought him up before the General Court to answer for his outspoken opinions. In 1646 he was fined 20 pounds for "seditious practices and derogation of and contempt for authority," and was "bound to his good behavior." He defended his brothers Joshua, Edmund and Thomas against charges of insubordination preferred by Lt. Anthony Eames, commanding officer of the "train band," and a member of his own church. This was a bitter and disagreeable quarrel and agitated Hingham for many years. The various active participants were fined a sum total of 155 pounds, 108., to which Joshua contributed 20 pounds, Edmund Jr. 5 pounds, and Thomas and Peter 2 pounds each. Little is known about the first meeting-house except that it was enclosed by a pallisade and had a belfry and bell which were used principally for defensive purposes against the hostile attacks of the "aborigines." The present meeting-house stands on Main Street, near the railway station, and is the oldest church in New England that has been used continuously as a house of worship was written in 1895. The principal timbers in it were taken from the first house. There were no stoves in it until 1822 when two of the front pews were removed to make room for them. The deacons occupied seats directly under the pulpit. Most of the seats were simple oak benches arranged in rows. One pew was reserved for the widow of Rev. Peter Hobart, which was occupied upon her death by the wife of the second minister, Rev. John Norton. A warm division of opinion, lasting over a year, existed among the congregation regarding its site. This was only terminated by the mandate of the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and his Magistrates, who ordered the building created where it now stands. \ Gov. Winthrop referred to him in the following language: "There was a great marriage to be solemnized at Boston. The bridegroom being of Hingham (Mr. Hubbard's church), he was procured to preach, and came to Boston to that end. But the magistrate hearing of it sent to him to forbear. The reasons were, (1) For that his spirit had been discovered to be averse to our ecclesiastical and civil government, and he was a bold man and would speak his mind; (2) We were not willing to bring in the English custom of ministers performing the solemnity of marriage, which sermons at such times might induce; but if any minister were present, and would bestow a word of exhortation, &c., it was permitted." He signed his name "Hubberd," though it was more commonly spelled "Hobart." By his parishioners he was greatly admired, respected, and loved. Note from page 154 of "One Thousand Years of Hubbard History": "S. P. Fowler, Danvers, MA, says 'I find Peter Hobart's name variously spelled by different authors. Josselyn spells it Bubbard; Lechford, Hubbard; Hutchinson Papers, Hubbert; and Mather gives it Hoburt.'" |
