  Martha Hubbard (Ahnentafel No:2453 )

  William Hubbard

  • Notes: 

  • Many sources give the mother of Martha Hubbard, daughter of William Hubbard, as Judith Knapp. Through her they can claim royal ancestry. However Robert Charles Anderson in his The Great Migration series of books points out that based on the ages of the children given in a 1635 passenger list of the ship Defence, William Hubbard must have had two wives because Judith was not old enough to be the mother of his four oldest children. Also a gap of seven years between sons William and Nathaniel support a second wife. Based on Anderson's conclusions, only Nathaniel, Richard and Margaret Hubbard are the children of Judith Knapp. All the other children of William Hubbard are from an unknown wife.
