PLEASE See the discussion at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hubbarde-3 for reason the parentage and date of birth of Edmund Hobart are not known. This refutes the claim that his parents were Thomas Hubbard and Helena Winsofer of Snoring Magna Parish. His parents were not Thomas Hubbard and Audrey Hare. PLEASE do not add parents without providing new information that proves those parents.
Removed to Hingham in 1635. Died there, 8 March 1646[/7] "father Hubbeard died."
Married (1) to Margaret Dewey in Hingham, Norfolk, England, 7 September 1600 . She died before October 1634 when her husband remarried. They had ten children in Hingham, Norfork, England. It is not certain that she survived to come to New England, especially since she did not join the Charlestown church with her husband on 19 October 1633.
Married (2) in Charlestown 10 October 1634, Sarah (_____) (Lyford) Oakley, born about 1586 (deposed 1 August 1639 aged "about fifty-three years," widow of Rev. JOHN LYFORD . She died Hingham 23 June 1649 ("mother Hobart died in the evening being Saturday, buried on the Sabbath"). (Edmund Hobart was guardian to the children of his second wife, and was otherwise involved in securing their inheritance from their father.)

FIND A GRAVE contributor Michael Dolan adds:
Looking at the actual Snoring Magna records however (online: http://www.the-snorings.co.uk/bmd/GS/marriages/GSmarriages_one.html) or at "The Visitation of Norfolk 1563.." (attached below) the actual name of the person recorded baptized on this date is EDWARD Hubbard (not Edmund). It has been stated many times that this was simply a transcription error, but I don't think so. The same name Edward Hubbard appears above in "Marriages", as married in 1604 to Anne, and four of their children are shown below as being baptized from 1605 to 1616. It seems very unlikely that Edward was Edmund.
HOBART (Hubbard) Edmund from Hing. County of Norfolk, Eng. and born in that parish, ab 1570, was the ancestor of all who have borne this surname by birth in our Hingham or its vicinity. He arrived at Charlestown, 1633, and with his son Thomas, and several others. came to "Bare Cove," the same year (See Lincoln's History of Hingham," pp. 41 and 156), probably for the purpose of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township. It is generally thought, however, that he did not locate here permanently until the arrival of his son the Reverand Peter Hobart, and those who 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 lot being the 17th.. while Nos. 18 and 19 were granted to two of his sons. His first wife Margaret Dewey, was the mother of his children. His second wife whom he married at Charlestown, Oct. 10, 1634 was Mrs. Sarah Lyford, the widow of Rev. John Lyford. His second wife's decease are recorded in Hobbart's Diary as follows, "March 8, 1646, father Hubbeard dyed." "June 23, 1649 mother Hobart dyed." He therefore, at the time of his decease, was ab. 76 years of age. Resided opposite Hobbarts Bridge, North St. Freeman, March 4. 1634; Constable the same year; and in 1639, 1610, and 1642 a deputy to the Great and General Court.

=== History of the Town of Hingham, Massac ===
History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, by Lincoln (1893), pg.334: HOBART (Hubbard). EDMUND, from Hingham County of Norfolk, England, and born in that parish about 1570, was the ancestor of all who have borne this surname by birth in our Hingham or its vicinity. He arrived at Charlestown, 1633, and with his son Thomas, and several others, came to "Bare Cove," the same year. (See Lincoln's "History of Hingham," pgs 41 and 156), probably for the purpose of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township. It is generally thought, however, that he did not locate here permanently until the arrival of his son, the Rev. Peter Hobart, and those who came with him. He was one of the early settlers who drew their house-lots on Town (North) St. in the 18th of Sept. 1635; Edmund's lot being the 17th, while Nos. 18 and 19 were granted to two of his sons. His first wife, Margaret Dewey, was the mother of his children. His second wife, the widow of Rev. John Lyford. The dates of his and his second wife's decease are recorded in Hobart's Diary as follows: "MARCH 8, 1646, father Hubbeard dyed." "June 23, 1649, mother Hobart [Sarah] dyed." He, therefore, at the time of his decease, was about 76 yrs. of age. Resided opposite Hobart's Bridge, North St. Freeman, March 4, 1634; constable the same yr.; and in 1639, 1640, and 1642 a deputy to the Great and General Court. Children, all born in England. Edmund was granted the family crest on 19 May, 1575 in Hingham, Norfolk, England. He emigrated from Hingham, Norfolk, England to Bear Cove (changed to Hingham, Mass) in May, 1633 for purpose of establishing a new plantation.)

In September 1635 their son, Reverend Peter Hobart, a Puritan, with a little band of 33 followers left Hingham, England, for America and landed at Bare Cove Common which became Hingham, America, in 1635. It is possible that among the 33 were Edmund, Jr., and Thomas. Rev. Peter Hobart was the first minister in Hingham serving in a simple log meeting house for 44 years--1635-1678.

Established Church, Mr. Hobart, in his sixtieth year, decided to ace
the perils of the sea and hardship and dangers of the new World to

appointed offices and those of his sons. He left, according to his
inventory, at least 45 acres, unknown value. This is not an actual
inventory since no records have been found that settle his estate. A
grant by Rev. Peter Hubbard of Hingham to his brother Thomas Hubbard
on 20 Nov 1647, about 6 months after Edmund's death, suggests Edmund
left land to son Peter. These land included about 45 acres.

About Edmund Hobart
Married 7 Sept. 1600 Hingham, Norwich, England.
--------------------
Edmund Hobart, Thomas's son, succeeded Thomas as lord of the manor of Hingham. He was born in Hingham, Norfolk County, England on January 1, 1573, baptized at St. Andrews and married Margaret Dewey, who also had been baptized at St. Andrews on September 7, 1600.
Edmund sailed for the New World on the ship, Elizabeth Bonaventure, leaving Yarmouth, Norfolk, the first week of May 1633. John Graves was the master of the ship. They arrived in Boston, June 15, carrying ninety-five passengers. Edmund settled at Charlestown, MA, with his first wife, Margaret, and their children, Rebecca, Sarah, Joshua, Nazareth, Edmond and Thomas and servant, Henry Gibbs. On March 4, 1634, Edmund Hobart took the freeman's oath and was appointed a constable for Charlestown. The family moved in September 1635 to Bear Cove, a new place twelve miles south of Boston. The name was changed to Hingham. In Hingham, Edmund became commissioner of the general court, a member of the court, a member of the committee to levy taxes and was chosen the representative of his town in the general court.

• Family Background Information.
According to "Shepherd in the Wilderness," a biography of Peter Hobart written by Edward Franklin Ripley (2001), Edmund Hobart was the son of Thomas Hobart, Lord of the Manor in Hingham (England). According to the church records of St. Andrews Church, Thomas was married to Helen Windsofer on July 30, 1569, in Snoring Magna, Essex. He died May 30, 1603. Edmund Hobart was born Jan.1, 1573 and succeeded his father as Lord of the Manor of Hingham , England. He married Margaret Dewey, who had also been baptized at St. Andrews. These were the parents of the Rev. Peter Hobart. This Edmund Hobart sailed to what is now Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1633 aboard the "Elizabeth Bonaventura." He, with his son, the Rev. Peter Hobart, became one of the founders of Hingham, Massachusetts. Margaret Watson, descendent of Edmund Hobar.

Edmund Hobart was born in Hingham, England in 1574. He first married Margaret Dewey on 1 Sep 1600, and she was the mother of all his children. To escape the restrictions and persecutions of the Established church in England, Hobart left England in his sixtieth year for North America. Along with him were his wife, and three of their children, Rebecca, Sarah and Joshua, as well a their man servant Henry Gibbs. They left England in Mar 1633 and landed at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 3 May 1633.
Edmund is likely the first person by the name of Hobart in the Americas, and the progenitor for the name. It wasn't long after his arrive in Massachusetts that his children and their families also arrived in Massachusetts. First his son Thomas arrived with his wife and three children, then Rev. Peter Hobart, along with his wife and four children arrived on 8 Jun 1635
Edmund became a member of the Congregational Church in Charlestown, 19 Aug 1633, and took the freeman oath, 4 Mar 1634. Soon after he was appointed by the General Court as a constable of charlestown.
In Sep 1635, Edmund, his children and other friends moved to Bare Cove, a few miles south of Boston. They gave their new settlement the name of Hingham after the ancient community in Norfolk County, England.
Margaret Dewey, Edmunds wife, died at Hingham. He then married a woman named Ann who was the widow of Rev. John Lyford. Edmund died in Hingham, 8 Mar 1646.
--------------------
Edmund Hobart was born January 1, 1572/73.
Many sites on the Internet claim that he is the son of Henry and Dorothy (Bell) Hobart, which is clearly false, since Dorothy was born in 1572. That provides linkage into a noble line, but there is no rationale for that, and I can find no mention of Edmund as Henry's son in any credible location.
He married Margaret Dewey September 7, 1600. Margaret was born in 1574 in Wymondham, Norfolk, England, the daughter of Robert and Margaret (Stasye) Dewey.
This family is a direct ancestor of President George W. Bush (see Special Kelly Stories) thru their daughter, Rebecca (Hubbard) Bangs. Edmund and Margaret were parents of sixteen children (again notice the name change):

EDMUND and MARGARET HOBART
EDMUND HOBART, who we just met, was the head of the most influential family in the founding of Hingham, and is mentioned in any historical book on Hingham. He was born around 1572 and inherited land and the title Lord of the Manor of Hingham, England in 1598 at age 26 from his father, Thomas Hubbarde. For over 30 yea

he first of three waves of immigrants from the Hingham area arrived in Bare Cove in 1633 led by Edmund Hobart and three of his sons

EDMUND HOBART WAS the First Hubbard Imm ===
EDMUND HOBART WAS the First Hubbard Immigrant
The first Hubbard to come to American was Edmund Hobart. He arrived in
Boston on June 15, 1633 aboard the Elizabeth Bonavennre. This was only
13 years after the landing of the Mayflower. He came in search of
religious freedom, He settled in Charlestown, Mass. probably for the
purpose of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township
Edmund arrived in America with his wife, Margaret Dewey; his son
Joshua, daughters Rebekah and Sarah, and his servant Henry Gibbs. He
must have been a man of substance in England, for one of his sons,
Peter Hobart, was a graduate of Cambridge University in England. A
university education in those days was a luxury only indulged in by
the well to do.
Here is the following account of Edmund’s immigration:
"Elizabeth Bonaventure, John Graves, Master, left Yarmouth, the first
week in May and arrived in Boston on June 15th, with 95 passengers.
The following emigrants from Hingham, Norfolk, (England) who arrived
this year probably came in this ship: Thomas Chubbuck of Hardingham,
Norfolk, arrived Charlestown, Mrs. Alice Chubbuck, Sarah Chubbuck, and
Rebecca Chubbuck, Edmund Hobart of Hingham, Norfolk, Mrs. Margaret
Hobart, Nazareth Hobart, Edmund Hobart, Thomas Hobart, Joshua Hobart,
and Sarah Hobart.
He was made a “freemen” on March 4th 1633 and was admitted to full
communion in the 1st Church of Christ in Boston on 8/19/1634. (I
believe that “freemen” were those who were not servants and had rights
of a citizen) He stood 15th on the Freemen List and was one of ten
citizens who, on 10/13/1634, agreed with increase _____ that only
certain desirable persons should be allowed to sit down and dwell in
the town. In 1635 he was Constable of Charlestown. This same year he
moved to Hingham, MA and assisted in organizing the 1st Church there,
of which his son Peter was the 1st Pastor. He was made Commissioner
9/16/1635; the function of that office being similar to those of
Justice of the Peace now-days, permitting him to officiate at marriage
ceremonies, a privilege then denied to most ministers. He was Deputy
to the General Court in 1639-1642 and was generally spoken of as
“Edmund Hobart, the Elder”.
Edmund's wife Margaret died four months after their arrival and he
remarried the following year. His second wife, commonly called Anne,
was the widow of Reverend John Lyford, an Episcopal clergyman from
Loughgard County, Ireland, who was banished from Plymouth Colony in
1624. She was a matron of good carriage and died 6/23/1649.
Edmund Hobart died March 8, 1645/46 in Charlestown, MA. His wife,
Margaret died on June 23, 1634 in Charlestown, MA.
Edmund’s lineal descendent Garet A Hobart was inaugurated
Vice-President of the United States of America 3/4/1897. Garret
Augustus Hobart ( June 3 , 1844 - November 21 , 1899 ) was the
twenty-fourth Vice President of the United States . He was born in
Long Branch, Monmouth County, New Jersey, and graduated from Rutgers
College in 1865 . He was admitted to the bar, and practiced in
Paterson, New Jersey .

From Lincoln’s History of the Town of Hingham:
“Edmund, from Hing. County of Norfolk, Eng., and b. at that parish,
ab. 1570, was the ancestor of all who have borne this surname by birth
in our Hing. or its vic. He arrived at Charlestown, 1663, and with his
s. Thomas, and several others, came to ‘Bare Cove,’ the same yr. (See
Lincoln’s History of Hingham, pp. 41 and 156), prob. for the purpose
of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township. It is
generally thought, howerer, that he did not locate here permanently
until the arrival of his s. the Rev. Peter Hobart, and those who 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 lot being the

HINGHAM is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts. There were
settlers here as early as 1633. Its first name was Bearcove or
Barecove, more likely the latter, in view of the exposure of almost
its entire harbor at low tide, and as appears also in the spelling of
the name in the order of the General Court referred to below. So far
as it had any legislative incorporation, it was incorporated, and this
has been the usual statement of writers, Sept. 2, 1635, only eleven
towns having in that respect all earlier date. Perhaps, however, the
term incorporation is not appropriate in this connection, the brief
order which the General Court, consisting of the Governor, assistants,
and deputies, adopted and entered on that day being as follows, -- a
form used before, and afterwards, in the case of several other
towns:-- "The name of Barecove is changed and hereafter to be called
Hingham."
Who was the first settler, or at what exact date he came, it is
impossible to say. Mr. Solomon Lincoln, the historian of the town in
1827, gives the following interesting facts: --
"The exact date at which any individual came here to reside cannot be
ascertained. Among the papers of Mr. Cushing, there is a 'list of the
names of such persons as came out of the town of Hingham, and towns
adjacent, in the County of Norfolk, in the Kingdom of England, into
New England, and settled in Hingham.' From this list we are led to
believe there were inhabitants here as early as 1633, and among them
Ralph Smith, Nicholas Jacob with his family, Thomas Lincoln, weaver,
Edmund Hobart and his wife, from Hingham, and Thomas Hobart with his
family, from Windham, in Norfolk, England. During the same year
Theophilus Cushing, Edmund Hobart, senior, Joshua Hobart, and Henry
Gibbs, all of Hingham, England, came to this country. Cushing lived
some years at Mr. Haines's farm, and subsequently removed to Hingham.
The others settled at Charlestown, and in 1635 removed to this place.
In 1634 there were other settlers here, and among them Thomas
Chubbuck; Bare Cove was assessed in that year. To 1635, at the May
court, Joseph Andrews was sworn as constable of the place. There was a
considerable increase of the number of Settlers, and in that year
grants of land were made to upwards of fifty individuals, of which a
record is preserved. It was in June of that year that Rev. Peter
Hobart arrived at Charlestown, and soon after settled in this place.
"I here subjoin the names of those who settled or received grants of
land here, in the respective years mentioned. Possibly there may be
some names omitted, which have escaped my observation, and those of
others inserted to whom lands were granted, but who never settled
here. The list is as perfect, however, as long, careful, and patient
examination of public and private records call make it.
"In 1635, in addition to those before-mentioned (namely: Joseph
Andrews, Thomas Chubbuck, Henry Gibbs, Edmund Hobart, Sen., Edmund
Hobart, Jr., Joshua Hobart, Rev. Peter Hobart, Thomas Hobart, Nicholas
Jacob, Thomas Lincoln, weaver, Ralph Smith), were Jonas Austin,

Note 2258. Some time since, I sent in some records on the Dyer family of Rhode Island, taken from an old record book in the possession of the members of this family in this State and which was over one hundred years old. I was delighted to have a correspondent state that these cleared up some obscure and also incorrect records published in Rhode Island Vital Records. It has occured to me that I have much valuable material from original sources that to my knowledge has never been published and which I have secured over a period of twenty years. This I shall be glad to place at the disposal of readers of these columns, for many times I have had recourse to them with my problems. Living so far from the source of records, except for periodical visits to the East, and with no historical library of consequence in the State or close by, I find it difficult to secure information. Also, as one of the editors of the Beach Family Magazine, I have secured much information of collateral lines. I would appreciate any information anyone may have on the Beach Family.

HOBART. Some time ago Hobert data, particularly of Shebeul who went to Vermont was given here. When I was in Hartford I took from the Barbour collection of Vital Records of Canaan, the following: Edmund, son of Shebeul, Jr., born March 14, 1747, died at Spencer, N. Y., May 22, 1808. He married Mehitable Peck who died March 20, 1832, aged 77 years.

HOPKINS. Hopkins data from Barbour Collection, Hartford. Ebenezer Hopkins of Harwinton "formerly of Hartford" was married to Susannah Messenger of Hartford, on June 7, 1727 (page 2). (Has anyone information of this Messenger line?) Children: Ebenezer, born May 5, 1728; Nehemiah, April 14, 1730; Daniel, Oct. 18, 1732; Lydia, Sept. 2, 1734; Ashbill, March 12, 1737; James, Feb. 17, 1739; Tabitha, Oct. 16, ---; Elias, March 12, 1741; Susannah, May 18, 1743; and Huldah, March 26, 1745. (Can anyone tell me if this Elias had Revolutionary service? He moved to Vermont where he died before 1800. See Caverly's History of Pittsford.)
Page 26. Nathan Hopkins, Jr., of Harwinton, married Abigail Eucosts of Guilford, Dec. 17, 1750. One daughter Eunice recorded Sept. 21, 1751. (There may be others.) Lydia, daughter of Daniel and Thankful, born Dec. 8, 1754; Dorothy, born Feb. 20, 1757.
