JONATHAN (3) HUBBARD (JOHN (2), GEORGE (1)), was born in Wethersfield, Conn., on January 3, 1658-9. When quite young he went to Concord, Mass., where he lived with Robert and Mary (Sheaf) Merriam, who had no children of their own. When Robert Merriam and later his widow Mary Merriam died, the bulk of the extensive Merriam estate was left to JONATHAN HUBBARD.

On March 15, 1681, JONATHAN HUBBARD married HANNAH, daughter of SAMUEL and ELIZABETH (KING) RICE. They continued to live in the Merriam homestead, which was now known as the Hubbard estate. They lived together for almost a half century and had a family of eleven children.

BENJAMIN (2) WHITNEY (JOHN (1)), was born in Watertown, Mass., on June 6, 1643. He settled first at York, Maine, about 1662. Here about 1668, he married JANE. She was probably from York, Maine, but there is no verification of this, as the early records were destroyed during the attack and destruction of that town by the Indians in 1692. At the request of his father, he returned to Watertown, Mass., where on September 29, 1669, his daughter, Jane, was born. On April 5, 1670, his father deeded the Watertown homestead to BENJAMIN, who, on March 9, the following year, with the approval of his father, sold his right to this property to his brother Joshua. BENJAMIN and JANE, then returned to York, Maine, where he had land granted to him in 1674, and an additional grant in 1680. In 1685 he sold his property in York, Maine, and moved to Sherborn, Mass., where his son Joshua was born on September 21, 1687, and his wife JANE died on November 14, 1690. On April 11, 1695, he married Mary Poor, by whom he had one child, his son Benjamin, born on May 22, 1709.

He was a soldier in the Narragansett Campaign, King Philip's War.  He died in Sherborn, Mass., on March 26, 1723.
