I know there is much controversy over the Hubbard family. First the two George Hubbards. One of Wethersfield, Milford, Guilford and then the other that married Elizabeth Watts and lived in Middletown. Then again on the wife of the Guilford George whether she was Mary Bishop or not. I know TAG vol. 10; 1933 - "George Hubbard's wife" by Donald Lines Jacobus states she wasn't BISHOP but then on this website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hubbard/hubbard_photos/connecticut_gleanings.htm states: The American Genealogist/Jacobus article, By Arthur M Hubbard - Feb 5, 2000 Categories: Connecticut, Geo H/Mary Bishop TAG vol. 10; 1933 - "George Hubbard's wife" by Donald Lines Jacobus <<Recites the article>>> The TAG/Jacobus information with cites can be found in the multi volume series of The American Genealogist. Many libraries have the series. I believe the following is the article in its entirety. Another researcher sent this copy to me but I have looked it up myself in the TAG and do not remember any editing. Concerning the validity of this article I think it is flawed. Thus the argument fails. The author demonstrates recklessness and arrogant assumptions. I think the flaw in the Jacobus article begins in Para 2-  It assumes that John Bishop cannot be the father of Mary Bishop wife to George Hubbard because of "unmentioned" dates of birth some known dates of death  and certain events of the period. This is where I believe this article starts tracking the wrong direction. Mary is traditionally listed as the first child of John and Anne Bishop. Anne may or may not be Mary's mother. Mary Bishop Hubbard died in 1675.  Anne Bishop died in 1676. John Bishop who died in d1660 certainly can be the father of Mary Bishop. I accept the c1605 DOB for Mary Bishop. The following children of John and Anne Bishop were: Mary, Anne (mJames Steel), John, Stephen, Bethia b1634-d1676 (mJames Steel b1622-d1675/6), Sarah. Ref Para 3-No doubt this Will exists and does not name her children in entirety just her known-surviving children. Ref Para 4 - This is taking a very large liberty in assuming the meaning of what Anne Bishop thought or meant in her Will to suddenly prove conclusively ones own argument. Records have James Steele married to both Anne Bishop and Bethia Bishop. This could be an error or possibly he had been married to Anne first and for whatever reason (Anne’s death) eventually married Bethia. It is additionally ridicules for Jacobus to assume that Elizabeth (whoever she may be, Grand daughter, step grand daughter, grand daughter in law -see para 5.) could not be refereed to as Grand daughter in the Will. Ref Para 6-And so, if this is as confusing to you as it was to Jocobus you might also decide to throw all caution to the wind and recklessly involve the Jordan family into this only if you adjust their history to conveniently fit your scenario. I do not know for sure the answers to who the Anne Bishop Will refers according to Jacobus. I have not seen this Will. This is something I will pursue when time allows. Any help will be appreciated. What I do know is that George Hubbard had a wife named Mary Bishop. Jacobus may not have had access to some of the research that is now available to researchers. He certainly was not part of the Internet information age. This is my analysis; your comments are welcome. I hope this is clear to you. ______END of ARTICLE on WEBSITE Can anyone clear this up with recent TAG or NEHGS articles?????????????????????? My line is George Hubbard, John Hubbard, Jonathan Hubbard, Mary that married Daniel Davis, Jonathan Davis, Mary Davis that married Smith Parke, Rueben Parke, Nelson parke, Avis parke that married John Linhart, Lemuel Linhart my grandfather.

Regarding the Hubbards, I just found out yesterday that I am related to this bunch. I have a Martha Hubbard (1776-Feb 17, 1834) (of Haddam) married to Hubbard Fowler Benton (Feb 1, 1801). They lived in North Guilford and their children were: Caroline married John Russel Rachel married Alexander Stevens Mary unmarried Marcus Hubbard married Elizabeth Huntley Moninia married Timothy Dudley Clarinada married Samuel Heminway Merrit Fowler married Anna Madeville Martha married Darling Byington (These are my direct line).
