HOBART (HUBBARD).
1. EDMUND, from Hing. County of Norfolk, Eng., and b. in 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, 1633, 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, however, that he did not locate here perma- nently 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 17th, while Nos. 18 and 19 were granted to two of his sons. His first w., Margaret Dewey, was the mother of his ch. His sec. w., 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 foll .: "March 8, 1646, father Hubbeard dyed." "June 23, 1649, mother Hobart dyed."
