Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Nathaniel Hubbard was born 8 Feb 1711/12, Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA (son of Nathaniel Hubbard and Elizabeth Nelson); died Abt 29 Jan 1772, Bristol, RI.

    Notes:

    The newspaper report of his death says he died at age 60. I have made an assumption that he is the son of Nathaniel; the age at death agrees with his birth year.


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Nathaniel Hubbard was born 13 Oct 1680, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA (son of John Hubbard and Anne Leverett); died Abt Mar 1747/48, Rehoboth, MA.

    Notes:

    Nathaniel's birth record identifies him as s/o John and Ann. I have made an assumption that this Nathaniel born in 1680 is also the one whose will is dated 5 Nov 1747 at Rehoboth, as below.

    There are several individuals of the same name. Another Nathaniel Hubbard, merchant, died about April 1699 and his estate was probated in Boston in August of 1699 by William Clarke, at the request of his mother Sarah Ward of Mistick. So, he cannot be the son of John and Ann.

    The will of Nathaniel Hubbard of Rehoboth is dated 5 November 1747, proved 17 March 1748. It mentions his wife Rebeka; sons John eldest, Nathaniel, and Leveritt; daughters Anne, Margaret (no surnames), and Elizabeth Mundy; also mentioned are grandsons William and Nathaniel Mundy, sons of daughter Elizabeth; his sisters Mary Ruggles dec'd, Rebeka Hart dec'd, and Anne; other relatives. (Bristol County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1686-1880, image viewable at AmericanAncestors.org)

    I am not sure if his wife Rebeckah was the mother of any of his children. This needs more research. Nathaniel Hubbard Esq was married to Mrs. Rebecca Gore 20 Jan 1725 at Boston, but most, if not all, of his children seem to have been born before 1725.

    Naming a son Leverett seems to confirm the link to Anne Leverett, Nathaniel's mother, and that he is indeed the one born in 1680 as above. Many historical sources agree.

    See also North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000, Daniel Peirce and His Descendants, p 10 (ancestry.com), for more details on Nathaniel and his son Leverett (who married Anne Jaffrey Peirce).

    Hon. Nathaniel Hubbard, Rebecca his wife, and Anna his sister, are listed as members of St. Michael's in Bristol (Rhode Island: Vital Records, 1636-1850, Bristol, Churches, Episcopal and Congregational, p 253). A notation says the "three came from Dedham."

    The following notes are excerpted from genealogy.com, user trees (Robert G. Hubbard):
    "Nathaniel was a preacher and teacher early in life, a land speculator, probably a merchant. In his will it states he had two slaves. It stated that, 'in his political dealings, he shone with particular luster. He was an active councilor.' His political appointments were as follows: Braintree HR in 1711, Braintree Council from 1737 to 1740 and 1742-1744, selectman in Braintree 1710-1711, selectman in Stoughton 1727-1728, JP 1713, 1715, 1728q, 1729, 1744q; Admiralty Court Deputy Judge, 1729 -1745; Superior Court of Judicature Judge 1746-1748.

    "Nathaniel probably left the bench in 1747, which was also probably the year of his death at Bristol, in that part of the town which retains the Indian name of Poppy Squash, where may be seen his tombstone.He inherited his father's virtues, especially that amiable spirit of benevolence. (Note- according to the Records of Legislators of Mass. General Court, Nathaniel died in 1748). Nathaniel resided in Dorchester, MA from at least 1715 to 1723 where he was a minister. He presided over marriages there during that time period. He is also listed on the birth and death records of his children during this period as a lawyer. It appears he had lived previously in Braintree and that he moved to Stoughton after his stay in Dorchester and then moved again back to Braintree. Based upon the record of his admittance to the church in Bristol, RI, in 1741, it appears he lived in Dedham after his second stay in Braintree. He lived in Bristol, RI the rest of his life. In the marriage records of Dorchester that he presided over, he is referred to as 'ye worshipful Nathll. Hubbard, Esqr.' "

    Nathaniel married Elizabeth Nelson 23 Aug 1707, Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA. Elizabeth (daughter of John Nelson and Elizabeth Taylor) was born Abt 1688, Dorchester, MA; died 21 Dec 1724, Dorchester, MA; was buried 24 Dec 1724, Christ Church Cemetery, Boston, MA. [Group Sheet]
