HUBBARD.
presenting a case, for a moment lost sight of the jury, but according to the best of his knowledge, gauging their mental capacity, he endeavor- ed, in imagination, to put himself in such a manner in their places as to present only such arguments as they would be likely to consider and appreciate. "In this power " says Judge Gilchrist, " of placing himself in the position of the jury and of looking at the case from their point of view, Mr. H. was unrivalled in the State, except by President Pierce, while at the bar ;" and in this, it may be added was one and probably the principal element of his success.
But though he was possessed of such extraodinary perceptive powers, and what we may term a natural insight into a case, it was not his hab- it to depend on these powers or that insight in such a manner as to lead him to neglect any labor by which he might become acquainted with any facts or gain any knowledge which would be of assistance to him in the advocacy of his cause. At the nisi prius terms he was often the busiest man at the Court. It was customary with him to spend his eve- nings, and frequently the hours far into the night, in the examination of witnesses who were to appear upon the stand the next day. When it was possible, a personal interview with every important witness was sought. Nor did he neglect, when it was practicable, a personal ac- quaintance with every juryman. But though he pursued these endeav- ors to gain success to such an extent as often to entrench on the hours usually devoted to sleep, in court, the next day, he would not appear either languid or worn, but would enter upon the advocacy of his case with all the enthusiasm of one who was conscious that he was thorough- ly prepared for the work he had in hand.
The remarkable individuality of Gov. Hubbard, in a summary of his character, also requires a brief mention. This extended to almost every - thing about him. In person, he was tall and on the whole quite harmo- niously and handsomely proportioned. His features too were regular, and his countenance open and intelligent. But though this description may be applicable to a hundred or a thousand others, yet so connected in him were these characteristics, with others which admit of no definite delineation, that it became hardly possible for one who had ever seen him to mistake him afterwards for another. The same was true of him as a speaker. In hearing him you was reminded of no model, nor of any one to whose manner you could trace a resemblance. That he was eloquent, might not, perhaps, be admitted, but that he spoke impressive- ly, none but the most prejudiced could deny. An effective speaker he certainly was, especially as an advocate at the bar, where his talents
427
HUBBARD.
shone with peculiar brilliancy, and where he was accustomed to exhibit a greater variety in his manner than any where else. In his political harangues, so far as manner was concerned, there was great sameness. His voice very soon after commencing rose to its highest pitch, on which it was afterwards uniformly sustainsd to the close of his address. Thus a person who had frequently heard him, in giving to the writer a de- scription of his political speeches says, 'They were literally thundered.' His vocabulary was copious, and his sentences were often brilliant, but they were poured out upon his audiences with the fullest volume of voice he could command." But if the mere graces of elocution and manner were often wanting, their absence was usually more than com- pensated for, by the deep earnestness with which he spoke ; for the force of his manner was nothing assumed for the purpose of producing an im- pression, but was the result of the deep interest which he himself felt in his subject. In this particular he resembled Edmund Burke the great British statesman, and Hon. Samuel L. Southard, of our country, whose voices, as they warmed in their arguments, and became engaged in their discussions, are said to have been " a kind of triumphant and lofty cry." But whatever objection to this manner a critic in oratory might have made, in the case of Gov. Hubbard, it was certainly popular, for no man, of his time, in the State, was called upon more frequently for polit- ical speeches, or was more heartily welcomed on the platform by his po- litical party.
"The subject of this memoir made many speeches in Congress and elsewhere, but, without recurring to the many subjects in the examina- tion of which he took a prominent part, it is sufficient to refer to his speech against the distribution of the public lands, and that against the assumption of the state debts, as remarkably well reasoned and states- manlike performances, and combining a thorough acquaintance with all the necessary facts, with great lucidness of arrangement and an accu- 'rate insight into the consequences of the measures proposed," [Dem- ocratic Review, Aug., 1841.]
" But whatever professional rivalry or political hostility might find to censure in Mr. H's career, in that purer and loftier and nobler sphere which embraces the duties of the citizen and the neighbor, he perform- ed his duties with a kindly and generous spirit not often equalled. His manners had that innate cordiality and grace which placed him at his ease every where, and made every one easy in his society. He was nev- er obsequious to the lofty nor arrogant to the humble, for he felt that he was a man, and he met every fellow being with a kindness, the result of

no predetermined plan, but of his own kindly nature. In the quiet vil- lage, in which so much of his life was passed, he was the most obliging and accommodating of men. In all the little offices of friendship he was ever ready with his advice and assistance. If any of his neighbors were in trouble of whatever kind he was ever ready to come forward with a helping hand, even in cases where he was called upon to exercise a spirit of forgiveness. Sensitive as his temperament was, he was a stranger to that rancorons and degrading bitterness, of which, at times, he was the subject. To any project for the interest and welfare of the community he freely gave his aid with an open palm, and in a most lib- eral spirit. He did not believe that the little circle of life should be filled up with sordid personal cares, beginning and ending with the in- dividual, and no plan for the public good-no scheme for the advance- ment of society to which he belonged, ever failed to receive his most ar- dent support." [Gilchrist.]
In his religious views he was a Unitarian of the Buckminster and Channing school, and invariably gave a hearty support to Rev. Dr. Crosby, his pastor, who was also one of his nearest neighbors and most' intimate friends. In this faith he lived, defending it oftentimes in the ardent and impassioned manner which was natural to him, and which, on account of the nature of the subject some mistook for a spirit of in- tolerance, though we are assured by those who knew him best, that no one could be less open to such a charge. In this faith he also died. He died in the house in which he was born and in which he had always liv- ed, June 5th, 1857. His death produced a deep impression, and notices of it and his career were given, not only in the papers of N. H., but in those of most of the other states of the Union!

Mrs. Hubbard is still living (1875, Jan. 10,) and resides with her children in Boston, but usually spends a few weeks in summer in Charlestown, which is her native place, as well as that of her husband. Long may she be spared and permitted to repeat her visits to the old homestead endeared to her by associations at once the most pure and the most lasting. Mrs. Hubbard d. in Boston, Apr., 1876.
The parentage of Governor H., has already been given. He mar- ried Nov. 30th, 1813, Sally Walker Dean (dau. of Aaron and Phyla (Walker) Dean, of Charlestown) b. July 6th, 1795. (See Dean and Walker families). By this marriage he had the following children. 1. Sarah Dean Hubbard, b. Oct. 8th, 1814; m. Chief Justice John James Gilchrist, Aug. 25th, 1836. (See sketch of Judge Gilchrist). 2. Henry Hubbard, jr., b. June 21st, 1817; m. June 6th, 1850, Louisa Dexter West (dau. of Dea. Benjamin and Charity West.) (See West family).

Henry Hubbard, jr., graduated at Harvard University, in 1837, and immediately commenced the study of law in the office of his fa- ther, attending in connection with his studies there, the law lectures at Cambridge. Being admitted to practice in 1840, he opened an office in Charlestown, where he continued to reside in the successful practice of his profession till 1867, when in consequence of declining health, he sold his place to Sherman Paris, Esq., and removed to Bedford, Va. The inhabitants of Charlestown parted with Mr. Hubbard, with much regret, not only on account of their personal attachments to him and his family, but from their conviction that his place as a citizen, could not be easily supplied.
3. Nathaniel Dean Hubbard, born Jan. 14th, 1821 ; married April 23d, 1863, Anne Brooks Frothingham (dau. of Rev. Dr. Nathaniel L. Frothingham, of Boston.

Mr. Richard Hubbard settled on the Hubbard homestead at the lower end of Main street in Charlestown, and engaged in the occupa- tion of a farmer, in which business he continued till the autumn of 1874, when he removed to Boston, where he now resides. His sons, Waldo Flint and Richard Dean, are connected (1874) with the United States Fish commission, in California. Mrs. Hubbard died Nov. 27th, 1872, very suddenly, of malignant erysipelas. She was an excellent woman and deservedly, greatly beloved.

COL. SAMUEL HUNT.
The earliest known ancestor of COL. SAMUEL HUNT, was Jonathan Hunt who took up his residence in Northampton, Mass., in 1660 or 61, and died there at the age of 54, Sept. 30th, 1691. He m. Sept. 3d, 1662, Clemenza Hosmer, of Hartford, Connecticut.
Jonathan Hunt, jr., the 2nd son of this marriage, b. Jan. 20th, 1666 ; m. Martha Williams, and d. July 1st, 1738. He was the father of Samuel Hunt, usually known as Capt. Samuel, who became a most substantial citizen, of Northfield, Mass.
Capt. Samuel Hunt, b. in Northfield, in 1704; m. Ann Ellsworth, (daughter of John Ellsworth, of Windsor, Conn., and Esther White daughter of Daniel White of Hartford,) b. April 27th, 1705. Their children were, 1. Samuel jr., b. Sept. 29th, 1734; 2. Anna, b. Oct. 23d, 1736 ; 3. Jonathan ; 4. Elisha ; 5. Arad ; 6. Sarah ; 7. Martha. Of these, the 2nd, Anna, m. Rev. John Hubbard, for forty-five years Congregational minister, at Northfield, and became the mother of Hon. John Hubbard, and grand-mother of Hon. Henry Hubbard of Charlestown. Jonathan settled at Vernon, Vt., and became the Lieu- tenant Governor of that State. The others were successful in life, but with the exception of Samuel jr., who became one of the most distin- guished and useful of our citizens, their history does not belong in this work. (See His. of the descendants of Elder John Strong, pages 1175-76.)
SAMUEL HUNT JR., was commissioned, April 27th, 1759, by Gover- nor Pownal of Mass., 3d Lieutenant in his Majesty's service, at No. 4, in Charlestown, New-Hampshire. As great Britain and France were

at that time engaged in the most active hostilities, it was a post of no inconsiderable danger ; but was probably, no less inviting to the young officer on that account; for though a man so small as to be almost diniinutive in stature, his courage was such, that he was never known to shrink in any circumstances, however perilous, from any duty as- signed him. His appointment had the effect of fixing his location for life; and it is probable that he, very early, determined on making Charlestown his permanent residence. For we find him, undoubtedly actuated by a feeling that it was not good for a man to be alone, tak- ing to himself a companion, December 2nd, 1760. The young lady was Miss Esther Strong, of Northampton, Mass., (daughter of Lieu- tenant Caleb and Phebe (Lyman) Strong); and was born February 12th, 1741, on what is now known as the homestead of Governor Caleb Strong. She was the sister of Governor Strong, who was between three and four years younger than herself. Her oldest sister Phebe, b. Dec. 22nd, 1738, m. General* Benjamin Bellows of Walpole.
When the Strong family understood that Esther was about to mar- ry young Hunt, there was a strong reluctance to giving her up to go so far away. The impression prevailed among them that if she should marry the young officer, and go with him to Charlestown, the distance would be so insurmountable, that they never should see her again. There was no objection to Hunt, who was a very great favorite with the family. His location was all. But the young lady did not look upon the matter in the same light, in which it was viewed by her friends. For though she could live in the very best style of the times at home, she did not object to the sacrifices she would have to make in reaching her new residence, and for some years afterwards. The wed- ding day was, therefore, appointed and the marriage consummated. And that the occasion was no ordinary one, there are the best of grounds for inferring. Says the author of the history of the Strong
* Phebe was opposed at first to the marriage of her sister to Col. Hunt because she would be taken to so great a distance from her family friends. But on re- ceiving the offer of the hand of General Bellows, she saw the matter in a different light and did not think the distance very great after all.
The General was nearly two years younger than his wife, and they were both persons of very strong minds, who were accustomed to think for themselves and who would sometimes arrive at quite different conclusions. When this happened in matters of business, as it sometimes did, the tradition has come down, that the General used to decide the matter by quoting the scripture " The elder shall serve the younger, " when Mrs. B. would very good naturedly allow him to take his own course.

family, Rev. Benjamin W. Dwight, " A piece of her wedding dress in the author's possession, shows that we cannot justly speak of our fore- fathers of that day as rude in their ideas of dress, or of personal ex- penditure. It was a dress, and skirt of crimson color of very thick damask silk." Now imagine the young bride, nineteen years, nine months, and twenty days old, in the perfection of her youthful beauty, apparelled thus, with surroundings in correspondence, and you will get some idea of the bridal scene.
It would be pleasant if we could know some more of the particulars of this wedding-as for instance whether the accomplished Parson Hooker performed the ceremony, whose little daughter then only two years old, subsequently married Caleb Strong, the brother of the bride, than whom Massachusetts has had few more popular, better or greater men. It would be also pleasant to know, what counsel was given the newly wedded pair, as counsel by the clergy of the olden time, was al- ways in order. But these things can be only subjects of conjecture, as the facts at this distant period cannot be ascertained.
Immediately on her marriage, the bride left for her new home ; prob- ably not without an armed escort, for the times, as yet, had not be- come sufficiently settled to allow of safe travelling without one. She and her husband went on horseback, while her effects went up the Con- necticut river by boat. There were no roads, as yet, between North- hampton, and Charlestown, at least for a considerable part of the way. The only things to guide them were marks cut in the trees, and which if recently cut, exhibited the color of the wood in such a manner as to be seen at a considerable distance. How a modern belle would bear such a journey we can well conceive, but we do not find that the heart of the young bride failed her, or that she ever regretted the step she had taken. She arrived at Charlestown without accident, to which her effects also in due time came safely, where she settled down to a life as we have reason to believe, both happy and useful.
We cannot leave Mrs. Hunt without some further notice. There is reason to believe that her influence on the society of Charlestown was both elevating and refining. Educated in the most thorough manner in which women were educated in her day, and with the manners con- sequent upon such an education in one of the first and most intelligent families, her example became one to be imitated by her neighbors, the circumstances of whose early lives had been less fortunate, and thus became a conservative against the coarseness into which, without some such counteracting influence the early settlers were liable to fall-and

doubtless Mrs. Hunt did not contribute in a small degree to give to the society of Charlestown, that character and tone of refinement and cult- ure, which gave it its reputation for superiority, and rendered a resi- dence in it, in the early time, so desirable.
The following, which contains a historical fact, will both amuse and interest.
It is related of Mrs. Hunt, that she appeared on the street in Charlestown with the first parasol ever brought into the town; and that, as she was passing up the street with it, holding it gracefully over her head, Mrs. Dinah Bowen, a neighbor of hers, seeing her, came out of her house with a long handled frying pan, taken from the chim- ney corner, and accompanied her in appropos style, with much assum- ed grace and dignity, a short distance up the street. The circum- stance, at the time, created considerable amusement, and was quite as agreeable to Mrs. Hunt, who had no false pride about her, as to others. This was Mrs. Charles Bowen, and her maiden name was Dinah Fields, from Northfield, Mass. Her husband fived on the Heaton place, since owned by Hon. Enos Stevens, and now occupied by George Hubbard, Esq.
Col. Hunt became a useful and popular citizen of Charlestown, as may be seen from the following offices to which he was elected. He was 13 times moderator ; 8 times first, and 5 times third selectman ; 6 times town treasurer, and twice, viz. in the years 1774 and 1778, rep- resentative.
In addition to these offices he was elected High Sheriff for Cheshire County for the years 1776-77, and again in 1783. Jan. 2nd, 1777, he was appointed one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas. From 1783, he held the office of High Sheriff till his decease, in 1799. He was also Councillor for the year 1780.
