 parish, ab. 1570, was the ancestor of all who have borne this surname 

 by birth in our Hing. or its vie. He arrived at Charlestown, 1633, and 

 with his s. Thomas, and several others, came to " Bare Cove," the same 

 yr. (See Liucoln's " History of Hingham," pp. 41 and 156), prob. for 

 the purpose of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township.

 came with him. He was one of the early settlers who drew their 

 house-lots on Town (North) St., on the 18th of Sept. 1635 ; Edmund's

 whom he m. at Charlestown, Oct. 10, 1634, was Mrs. Sarah Lyford, 

 the wid. of Rev. John Lyford. The dates of his, and of his sec. w.'s 

 decease, are recorded in Hobart's Diary as foil. : " March 8, 1646, 

 father Hubbeard dyed." " June 23, 1649, mother Hobart dyed." He, 

 therefore, at the time of his decease, was ab. 76 yrs. of age. Resided 

 opp. Hobart's Bridge, North St. Freeman, March 4, 1634 ; constable
