ALMIRA [my ancestor] was born on Monday at 12 O'Clock at Noon April 6th
1795. [she married as his 1st wife Washington Hubbell]
Charlotte Fince was born on Friday 10 O'Clock at Night November 2nd 1798
[Not included was Caleb b. 1800, Ancram, Columbia Co., NY , d.10-22-1824
and bur. Winchell Mt. Cem., Pine Plains , NY where many of the family are
buried. Caleb bought the Bible 1798 , entered in all those then born but
never added Caleb]
[The above is all in the same hand. Since the Bible was printed in 1793 and
prob. didn't arrive in this country for a year or two, I think all these
births were written at the same time.]
[Following the above, in the hand of Mary Gray (Almira's daughter) who mar.
Washington Lafayette Hubbell is written:]
Charlie B. Hubbell was born on Wednesday the 26th of March 1851
FRANK A. HUBBELL was born on Saturday the 10th of March 1855 [My
grandfather - he d. April 24, 1900 in Saranac Lk, NY of TB, and mar. Mary
Eliz. Rogers of Setauket, LI, NY ]
Tompkins C. Hubbell was born on Monday morn the 19 of Movember 1860
[Below that in the same hand:]
Washington L. Hubbelle was Born July 2nd 1829 x Married 1849
Mary Grey Hubbelle was Born July 3 1821
-------------------------------------------------------
[Caleb Finch was b. New Haven; Deborah prob. Guilford,Branford or N. Haven
area. Poss. their 1st & 2nd sons were b. Branford, CT, the rest in Ancram,
Col. Co., NY. So they prob. moved to Ancram 1778 - 1780 and prob. mar.
1777-8.]
[Since NY didn't keep VR till 1880 this is probably the only place, except
for Caleb, where the records of these births are recorded.]
[If you want other info, or could provide Deborah's surname I'd be MOST GRATEFUL!]
