    Notes 
    • Richard was from Wales, and was on the fidelity list of March 7,1647-8 in New Haven, where he married, in 1650 the daughter of John and Thomasine (Fry) Meigs (a son of Vincent Meigs). Like many of the ingabitants of Wales at the present day, (1880), he could not write the English language.
      The first settles of (now) Bridgeport, and members of the church, were Richard Hubbell, sen'r, Isaac Wheeler, James Bennett, sen'r., Samuel Beardsley, Matthew Sherman, Richard Hubbell,jr., David Sherman, and John Odell, Jr., in 1695. It was a part of the town of Stratford. Most of these names are yet familiar in the town of Bridgeport.
      He was admitted a planter at Guilford, Connecticut, February 25, 1653-1654. About 1663 he removed to Fairfield, Connecticut, and was accepted as a freeman of Connecticut colony, October 13, 1664. At Fairfield he was Sergeant of the trainband, and he served as Deputy to the General court at three sessions, May, 1678, 1679, and 1681. He acquired a good estate, and was an original member of the Stratfield church in 1695. He married first about 1651, Elizabeth Meigs , married second about 1669, Elizabeth Gaylord b. October 4, 1647 (daughter of Samuel Gaylord), died probably early in 1688; married third by marriage contract dated April 16, 1688, Abigail, daughter of Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford, and widow of Joseph Walker of Stratford.
      A peculiarity of this family is that he had 2 sons named Samuel, the one by his first wife being called Senior, and the one by his second wife, Junior. His will, made a few months before his death, named his last wife and all his children. The widow died early in 1718, leaving a will.
