Biography

From "The Hurlbutgenealogy; or, Record of the descendants of Thomas Hurlbut, of Saybrook and Wethersfield, Conn...":

"Thomas Hurbut Jr. was probably born in Wethersfield but the date was not ascertained. He learned the blacksmith's trade of his father and succeeded him in the business. He married (1) Lydia --, (2) married Elizabeth --. The town of Wethersfield 11 March 1662 awarded him, voted him a piece of land to set shop upon. By the inventory of the estate of Thomas Wetherfield, Jr., of Wethersfield, dated March 6, 1689/90, (Probate Court Records, Hartford), it appears he died in Sept. 1689/90. Appended to the inventory, are the names of his wife and three children. He left widow Elizabeth, and his son Timothy 9 years, Nathaniel 7 years, and Ebenezer 4 years, besides an older son Thomas. His brother Stephen was appointed administrator. His estate £57, 19s, including blacksmith tools, household furniture, etc., and "8 shillings due from Thomas Jr." (meaning his son no doubt) was declared non-solvent. I could not fall in with the suggestion of the late Hon. Edwin Stearns, that Thomas (son of the emigrant) did not fall into family estate until middle life, and that his first wife was the mother of all of his children; my belief is that the first wife is the mother of the son Thomas third (called "Thomas Jr."), in the Inventory, who became a resident of Woodbury, Ct., and that the three other children were those of the second wife. I venture to so record them here:

• 8. (1st m) Thomas 3d +
• 9. (2 m) Timothy b. 29 Sept., 1680 (his father died with T. was 9 years old, nothing learned of his further history.)
• 10. Nathaniel +
• 11. Ebenezer +

Origins

From several writings, such as, The Hurlbut genealogy; or, Record of the descendants of Thomas Hurlbut, of Saybrook and Wethersfield, Elizabeth was the second wife, and her maiden name is unknown. We only know about her from her husband's will.
