Book Description
Correspondence, genealogical materials, deeds, diaries, notes, school reports, essays, scrapbooks, and other materials, collected by Elijah Kent Hubbard, 2nd, covering a time span of over 150 years, with concentrations on the time frames of 1779-1832 and 1900-1992, of and/or relating to members of the Hubbard family, of Middletown, Conn. The first series concerns the genealogy of the Hubbards and associated families: Sebor, Winthrop, Shirreff, deKoven, Johnson, and Dudley. The families include many prominent figures in New England history including two governors: John Winthrop (1588-1649) of Connecticut and Joseph Dudley, of Massachusetts. William Shirreff, of Annapolis, N.S., was one of the commissioners appointed to settle the boundaries between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Series two contains a collection of letters between members of the Sebor, Winthrop, and Shirreff families (late 1700s-early 1800s), including some letters sent from England where the Shirreff family lived. The letters concern family matters with occasional references to the political estrangement between England and America at that time. One of the later letters comes from Helen Beach who compiled a book on the Descendants of Jacob Sebor, a genealogical look at the family, a copy held by the repository.
