Seversmith is the expert genealogist for Long Island.

I don’t expect instant answers, and perhaps none at all; her English origins so far to me seem speculative.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hubbs-288 Currently shows her parents as Daughter of Robert Hubbs and Elizabeth (Richbell) Hubbs citing an old Dowling tree.

The profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hubbs-160 notes:

In 1654 he made a deposition before the Dutch authorities signing it with his mark " RH" and stating that he was "of Gloustershire, about 30 years old". In 1661 he bought a house and garden in Flushing, L.I., off William Hallet, but by 1668 he owned property on Mad Nans Neck, now Great Neck, Town of Hempstead, L.I.

He died around 1700. He must have married in Newport, R.I., but we only know as yet that his first wife's name was Elizabeth.... His second wife, whom he married in 1691 was Elizabeth (Redman) Mott, widow of Adam Mott (1620-1690).

Her maiden name was not "Richbell".

Most of his six children, and we know he had six children from a letter to the Dutch authorities written in 1662 concerning a dispute over the ownership of his farm with William Hallett, were probably born in Newport, R.I. Of these, John Hubbs (1647-1697) appears to have been the eldest, and he is the patentee of Hempstead mentioned above.

Children: Joseph Hubbs Robert Hubbs John Hubbs Amy Hubbs Richard Mott Mary Ann Mott Adam Mott Charles Mott William Mott. [No Elizabeth]

Author: Rev. B.E. Underwood, St. John's Rectory, 96 Rumford Ave., Mansfield, MA


From that, I would rule out Hubbs / Hubbard as her father.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - the profile looks OK to me (I cleaned up the “about.”)

 What else are you looking for?

Here’s Robert Hubbs, Sr.

We’ve never shown Elizabeth Combs as his daughter.

Thank you, Erica Howton!

I made a comment to her profile at Wkitree March 2020 and so today I will correct that profile as well.

Not sure how they got confused but is in many public trees.

Elizabeth Combs (Godwyn?) is your 10th great grandmother.
You

Re: What else are you looking for?

MP flags would be great.
Richard Combs Elizabeth Combs and their son who has been confused/conflated and perhaps due to the HOBBS affiliation:
Thomas Combs, Sr. ("mine")
Thomas Combs, Sr. (not mine)
Geni is the gold standard as far as I am concerned and you are the expert for Colonial American profiles

I'll revisit.
Obligations this week/week-end limit my ability to work on them more than I have/can

Thomas Combs, Sr. Still needs disambiguated from Thomas Combs, Sr.

No time today but don't want to lose the notes...
Hoping to get them MP'd

This 1999 study still looks like the best resource. I’ve uploaded to profiles and am resolving conflicts.

“Richard Combs 1650” (1999) (document attached)

I don’t understand the “two different Thomas Combs.”

Erica Howton They were two similar looking profiles for same named man who have since been merged today after I logged off.
Thank you so much for working on them again. I had started merging today and ran into the same issues from earlier that I had not been able to resolve.

I will look again tomorrow and see if I can find anything else of value to add but I greatly appreciate what you have done and especially the MP flags
