He resided with his parents and attended the district and sub- scription schools until he was sixteen years of age, when he began working as a day laborer. At the age of eighteen he entered the teacher's profes- sion, continuing that occupation for nine years. February 22, 1849, he wedded Hannah M. Laughlin, born July 30, 1829, and the daughter of John and Sarah Laughlin. To them were born eight children, these seven now living: Sarah C. (wife of Lewis Carpenter), Thomas J., William C., Mary C., (wife of John Bowers), Martha E., John Sherman and Joseph Harvey Monroe. After marriage Mr. Hubbard entered 160 acres of land and began tilling the soil. March 14, 1848, he enlisted in the Third Regular Dragoons in the Mexican war, but went no further than Jefferson Barracks, Mo., as the war closed that same year. When the Rebellion broke out he enlisted August 6, 1861, in Company B, Twenty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry and fought in the battles of Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville and nu- merous minor engagements. While fighting at the last named battle he was shot in the foot by a minie-ball May 3, 1863, and was taken to the hospital at Washington City. In July of that year he was sent home on furlough, but not recovering his former health, he remained at home. In 1873 he sold his farm and purchased forty-nine acres of land near Odon, where he has a fine residence. He is a Republican, and a member of the I.O.O.F. Since 1854 he has given the most of his attention to the brick-mason's trade. His parents were William and Henrietta (Baker) Hubbard, natives of Kentucky, born in 1791, and died in 1865 and 1840, respectively. They were married in 1812 and came to Indiana in 1833. The father was a farmer and owned 120 acres of land. ============ MAIL LIST FOOTER FILE ============== End of ky-footsteps-digest V1 #469 [Archivist's note: William Hubbard was born in Garrard Co.
