It is a wonderful little cemetary at the edge of town (hard to miss). The stones range from some very old (mid 1700s to recent ones with many soldiers' graves. I have several ancestors buried there and hope to make it back there again within the next year. I'll watch for your names. Diane

If someone has access to records, I'd sure like more info. His parents were Hubbard Fox and Lunna Perry. Have already requested a query re: their wedding record.

I was there last fall and it was incredible. Coralynn

Coralynn, could you please give us some names and addresses to which to write, urging the preservation of Historic Homesteads? I agree wholeheartedly on this...one of my ancestors built the Fairbanks House in Dedham, MA, in 1636, and it's been beautifully taken care of, and is owned by the Fairbanks Family in America. These homes/buildings, once gone, can never be replaced. Thanks. Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC)

Janice a native Middletowner >> At the moment, emails to Carolyn Laban at [email protected] addressed to the Town officials, expressing your strong desire to see this homestead preserved will help. Actually, the house is not in any immiment danger, but the outbuildings are. Carolyn posted quite a few photos she recently took of this property to our Hubbard site on myfamily.com For being abt 250 yrs old, all the buildings look quite good. They might even look better if put on the Preservation list. I have the photos plus a lot of other info on the aforementioned Hubbard site. It might actually be easier to transmit this info if I signed some of you up for that site ...yes, there is the user name and password stuff (I really don't like these) but for this it's worth it. Carolyn said yesterday that to put it on the Historical Preservation list might take a few thousand dollars. There could very well be an organization that could raise this money. (I asked her how many thou, and am awaiting a reply). This project is do-able, and I'll try to keep you posted thru the List, though you all could get the info faster from the site I mentioned. I can sign up everyone interested, no problem!! Coralynn

Carolyn I know this homestead well. Have you or anyone else contacted Middletown's Historic Preservation Assoc? Shouldn't they be involved as well as the Middlesex Historical Society, The Godfrey Library?? I would think they would want to be. Middletown is rich in history and the Hubbard Homestead should be left standing! What kind of help is needed? Janice a native Middletowner

Coralynn, What Email address should we use? I am related to this family and would like to see this homestead preserved. Charlene

I know there are differences in procedures from state to state, but she needs all the encouragement she can get! She has the First Founders Society behind her, but what she may need more than anything else is someone or some company with the capital to buy this property. It's for sale right now. Listers: Can you email a letter to the Officials of Middletown CT telling them you also desire these old (in this case abt 250 yrs old) homesteads be preserved and put on a historical registry? A property developer owns the land right now, and will put up a few houses in places that won't hurt the quality of the historical value, but if not protected pretty soon, all the outbuildings could be razed. These buildings are in remarkably good condition for being that old, too. Thanks. Something simple, like: "Please preserve and protect Historical Homesteads for future generations". She goes to another meeting May 22, and needs as many emails of this nature as possible (to take with her). Coralynn

Hello I am an archaeologist and (very remote) Hubbard descendant and might be able to help. My wife and I have been involved in saving her ancestor's homestead site in Rhode Island (see the Tefft Family association web page)://www.geocities.com/tefft_family/http). Please take a look to get a feel for what this could entail-it can be quite a struggle! It is important to find out what the laws concerning historic preservation are in CT and if the environmental review process has been properly followed. Is there an environmental document that approved the subdivision map? Is there a cultural resource report and evaluation of the Hubbard homestead? Is the environmental review public comment period over?
