Sketches of the Alumni Williams College, Williamstown, MA  dated 1871

John Hubbard, son of Major Hubbard, was born in Blandford, September 29, 1786. 

When he was eleven years old, his parents removed to Canandaigua, N.Y.  As his 
health was not vigorous, it was decided to give him a college education.  He 
studied medicine and received his diploma in Batavia, N.Y., in 1812.  He 
commenced practice in Accord, N.Y.  He was married to Miss Anna Kent,
September 3, 1813.  In 1821 he removed to Putnam County, Ind., and for a time
engaged in farming; but he was soon persuaded by the inhabitants to resume the
practice of his profession.  About this time he was chosen justice of the
peace.  In 1845 Mrs. Hubbard died.  Here his house was open for stated
religious services on the Sabbath, and he sometimes officiated himself, and
great good was done.  In 1846 he was married to Mrs. Betsey Paul, of Chemung. 
In 1855 he removed to Decorah, Iowa.  He died July 25, 1867, at Plymouth Rock,
Iowa, aged eighty-one.  He made a profession of religion while in college,
joining the church in Williamstown, and living with the Golden Rule as his
guiding-star.
