Buckley Hubbard

From Ellery Bicknell Crane HUBBARD Family....

(VII) Bulkeley Hubbard, son of Joseph Hubbard (6). was born in Holden, Massachusetts, November 13. 1787. His early education was somewhat meagre, as there was no public school in the neighborhood at that time, and what schooling he got was at private schools held from time to time in the homes of the vicinity. His father owned a large farm in the west part of the town, where his descendants now reside. Bulkeley helped his father with the farm work, doing a man's work when a mere boy, and building up a constitution of great vitality and endurance. When he came of age he bought the homestead and followed in the foot- steps of his father. Besides farming he did an extensive business in teaming. He was a man of good business ability and high character. In religion he was a Baptist. In politics he was originally a Whig, but when his party disintegrated he became a Republican. He trained in the state militia when a young man. He died January 22, 1858.

He married. November 18, 1819, Mrs. Lois Merrick Nye, of Hardwick.
