Hubbard Joshua

Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: According to "The Vassalls of New England", pg 5-6: "There seems to be some uncertainty in regard to him. In the MS of President Styles, it is stated that Rev. Joshua Hobart, H. C., 1650, son of Peter, sailed for Barbadoes, July 16, 1655; married there April 16, 1656, Margaret Vassall; sailed from thence to London, where he arrived July 5, 1656; returned to New England, where he arrived September 5, 1669; and where his wife died "four days after." He was married second, to Mary Rainsford of Boston, and removed to Southold, Nassau Is., where he died in winter of 1716-17. By his wife Margaret he had three (?) children. How to reconcile this statement with the wording of the deed of sale of her father's Scituate estate, we are at a loss to know, and are content to relinquish the matter to some more perservering enquirer. Joshua Hubbard, the husband of Margaret Vassall, was evidently a different individual from the captain of the same name who acted attorney for the sale of William Vassall's estate." Note: "The deed of sale of her (Margaret) father's estate in Scituate was signed by Joshua Hubbard, in behalf of his late wife, July 18, 1657. In the settlement of the estate of Comfort Starr, physician, in 1659, the name of Margaret Vassall occurs as debtor."
