Family Notes
• We do not know where Solomon Hubbard married Hannah Willard. There were Willards living in Catskill, N.Y. at this time. Word has passed down through the family, however, that Hannah was born in Huntington, N.Y. in 1722 and that she witnessed the Battle of Long Island when she was ten years old. She was the daughter of William Willard and according to the 1790 census, a family of Wm. Williard was living in Stratford, Ct. We are not certain about Hannah’s parentage, although a member of the Willard Family Association claims she descends from Major Simon(1) Willard, Jonathan(2), Jonathan(3), and William(4). This William had married Phebe Post of Saybrook, Conn. At any rate Solomon and Hannah Hubbard moved north from Durham, Greene County, N.Y. to Broome, Schoharie County, N.Y. in the first years of the nineteenth century.
Before 1819, they had moved west to Mayville, Chautauqua County, N.Y.1806, p 2

• Married probably at Durham -- then called Freehold. She may have married a Mr. Phillips, secondly.1813
