Hubbards in Vermont

THOMAS HUBBARD - We can find the name listed in genealogy records as Hobart, Hubbard and Hubbarde.  For my DAR membership, it was Stephen Hubbard that took me there because that was the ancestor whose life I could document from mine through my mother's family tree and her father, Jay Kimball Hubbard.  Thomas Hubbard was SEVEN generations before Stephen Hubbard.  For me, learning there is a town named for our ancestors was fascinating. 

Hubbardton is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The town was named for Thomas Hubbard, a landholder.[3] The population was 706 at the 2010 census.[4]
