ERRATA.
THE figures 1872, in the second line of the note on page 15, should be 1772, and on page 17, fourteen lines from the bottom, "west" should read " east."
Later investigations than those in our possession when the text was written, show that the first Hubbard, George, came first to Watertown, Mass., about 1634, and soon went to Wethersfield, Conn., thence to Milford, and about 1650 to Guilford, where he died. His son John removed to Hadley. There is no evidence that either ever lived in Saybrook. See page 405.
