The Hubbard family have been characterized for industry, sobriety and frugality; seeking rather to gain 
an honest livelihood by industry upon the soil than to enter the whirlpool of anxiety and speculation; and, 
as one of the descendants writes: "so far as I have any knowledge of the Hubbards, no one of the 
descendants of Levi Hubbard has ever been imprisoned for any crime or even for debt, which I think 
speaks well for the race."
