Shubael Claghorn, Sr

was born in 1663 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA. He died about Sep 1725.(383) Claghorn Study states "died 1729." Bonnie Hubbard has first name spelled "Shubael;" sometimes spelled Shobal.

William Crumby Claghorn, in his Claghorn book says that Shubael "was at an early age of aggressive temperament, as we find that even before his admission to citizenship [31 July 1695], he felt aggrieved at the distribution of the public lands, and filed his protest on February 14th, 1694-94." "He served as executor and trustee of small estates several times, and was appointed fence-viewer 14 March 1722. Shubael married Jane Lovell and they had twelve children, with birthdates from 1689 to 1715. Exact dates for the nine boys and three girls are not known, and one of the boys evidently died before him as his will distributes "plate buttons, guns, wine glasses," etc. to his "eight sons." His estate was valued at £1577 and considered large for those times. (Bonnie Hubbard)

He was married to Jane LOVELL about 1688.
