Individual Notes
• Samuel Hubbard came in 1633 to Salem, Mass.3352, p 5
• Samuel Hubbard wrote: “Now 1675 I have a testament of my Grandfather Cocke’s printed in 1549 which he hid in his bed-straw lest it be found and burnt in Queen Mary’s day.”3353, p 153
• Samuel Hubbard came to the American colonies on the James, _____ Grant, Master, arriving at Salem, Mass., 10 October 1633, “having been but eight weeks between Gravesend and Salem.”2841, p 66
• He arrived in Salem, Mass., in October, 1633, and probably came in the ship James, Grant, master, which left Gravesend, England, late in August, 1633, and arrived in Massachusetts Bay October 10, 1633.1752, p 54
• Samuel Hubbard became acquainted with Roger Williams at Salem and their friendship continued for many years. They, no doubt, exchanged views on religion, both desiring the freedom to worship as their consciences dictated. Hubbard would later join Williams’ colony of Rhode Island but first he would make several settlements before he would find that place where he could be at peace and worship freely.2841, p 67
• Her [Ruth] father, Samuel Hubbard, was one of the founders, at Newport, December 23, 1671, of the Seventh Day Baptist Church.3352, p 5
• Samuel Hubbard arrived at Salem in October 1633. He located at Watertown. In 1635 he was among the sixty daring colonists, who, braving the terrible winter, marched throught the wilderness to be numbered among the first settlers of Connecticut. Tase (Tacy) Cooper, born in 1608 in England, of noble parentage, was in the party; she and Samuel were married during the winter of 1636. They later moved to Springfield, Mass. where three daughters, Ruth, Rachel, and Berthia were born. Ruth the first white child to be born in Springfield married Robert Burdick, by which union she became the mother of all the Burdicks.3347, p 18
• ...though staying there [Fairfield, Ct.] but a short time on account of church disagreements. Samuel was now with his wife imbibing freely and preaching ardently the doctrines of Anabaptism. He says in his diary: “God having enlightened both (but mostly my wife) into his holy ordinance of baptising only of visible believers, and being very zealous for it, she was mostly struck at, and answered tow terms publicly, where I was said to be as bad as she, and sore threatened with imprisonment to Hartford jail, if not to renounce it or to remove: that scripture came into our minds: “If they persecute you in one place flee to another;” and so we did 2 day of October, 1648. We went for Rhode Island and arrived there the 12 day. I and my wife upon our manifestation of our faith were baptised by brother Joseph Clarke, 3 day of November, 1648.”1752, p 55
• They were persecuted in Mass. for expressing their Baptist views. Samuel Hubbard finally in 1648 found refuge in R. I. where he was associated with Eld. John Crandall and others in founding the colony of R. I. which stands above all others for its democratic principles.3347, p 8
