George (c1594-Jan 1683) married c1627 Mary Bishop (c1610-73) in
Glastonbury, Somerset, England. She was the daughter of John (-14 Sep
1676) and Ann Bishop, who also immigrated. George and Mary immigrated by
1633 to Watertown, MA and were among that town's settlers of Wetherfield,
CT in 1635. In 1636, the governing commission assigned George to survey
the boundaries of Wetherfield and Windsor, CT. George represented
Wetherfield on the commission 1638-42 (he was fined one shilling for
coming to his first meeting late). In 1638, he also became one of the
two Wetherfield resident authorized to trade with local Indians; 11 years
later, George would be fined £10 for trading a gun to an Indian. In
1640, George was granted 195 acres at Naubuc Farms, present-day
Glastonbury. However, George also appears among the 44 original settlers

Hubbard was admitted 15 January 1644 to the Milford church. They moved
to Guilford by 1648, where Mary's parents also settled. George was
admitted to the Gilford church 6 October 1650. His name appears on a
freeman's list for Gilford c1650-52, and as having moved from Milford.
He served eight years as a deputy magistrate 1652-66, assembly member
1666-67, and justice 1670. George Hubbard's estate was inventoried 30
