Judith Hubbard

Judith Knapp, daughter of John Knapp and Martha Blois, was born between 1592-1594 in Ipswich, Suffolk, , England and died between 28 May 1657 and 1661 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

She was the 2nd wife of William Hubbard of Ipswich (born abt 1595 - died before 19 Aug 1670 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts).

Note that Richardson disagrees with the Great Migration Project slightly, and suggests that Judith Knapp married William Hubbard by 1615, making her the mother of all his children except Martha, the oldest.

Since Rev. Knight was not presented until 1655, the Knapp pedigree in Volume II must date after that date. Also, please note that Mr. Candler refers to the multiple daughters of Judith Knapp, making it clear that she was the mother of both older Hubbard girls, Martha and Mary.

(2) If William Hubbard's wife in 1635 was a much younger second wife, we should expect them to produce a flock of children between 1635 and 1652, when Judith last occurs in the records. Instead, it appears that there was but one additional child born to this couple, a daughter, Margaret, born say 1636 (Mr. Anderson's guesstimate). If we place Margaret's birth at the extreme end of Judith Knapp's child bearing years at age 42-44, it gives us a birthdate for Judith Knapp of 1592-1594. This estimated birthdate agrees well with the fact that Judith Knapp was an unmarried minor in 1604, but married before 1612.
