Rev. William was born abt. 1621, at Essex, in England. He was pastor of the Ipswich Church from 1656 - 1704. He was among the first class to graduate from Harvard College in 1642 He was a Historian, and wrote numorous titles concering the history of the colony, the most notable being the History of New England. He had a long and busy life

Rev. William was also twice married first to Margaret Mary Rogers the only daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Rogers. His second wife was widow Mary Peirce, who he married when he was seventy-three years old.

According to what was written in Ipswich in the Mass. Bay Colony Vol. 1, page 412. This was not considered a very good decision on his part.

"The widow Mary Peirce became the second wife of the Rev, William Hubbard, greatly to the affront of the good people of the church and parish. His first wife was Margaret, only daughter of Rev. Nathahiel Rogers, and when, in his seventy-third year, he married the widow Peirce, it was esteemed unwise, " for though she was a serious, worthy woman, she was rather in the lower scenes of life and not sufficiently fitted, as they thought for the station."

He and Margaret had three children, John , Nathaniel , and Margaret.
My line decends from his daughter Margaret, who married John Pynchon, son of Col. John Pynchon and Ann Wyllys (dau. of Gov. George Wyllys) and grandson of William Pynchon. John and Margaret lived at Ipswich for a while and later removed to Springfield.
