I trust all readers will recognize the fact that this is a carefully prepared work, collated from records duly authenticated 1n the hands of descendants of our emigrant ancestor, supplemented by church, court, county, state, and congressional documents, and that all works to which reference has been made, 'or from which I have obtained extracts; are' to be found in the historical societies and public libraries of the United States and British Provinces and in the British Museum Library, London, England. I take pleasure in stating that the information obtained from my grandfather, Truman Mallory Hubbell, concerning our ancestors, was correct,* and that it has been corroborated by facts obtained from other descendants of Richard Hubbell the First and from ancient records.
