THE HOBBS FAMILY

JOSIAH HOBBS, the emigrant ancestor of this family, was born in England

in 1649. He came to this country in the ship 'Arabella', Richard Sprague,

master, which left Gravesend 27 May, 1671, and arrived at Boston in July.

Josiah Hobbs resided in Boston during the next eighteen years. He married

in 1683, and had a son, Josiah2, born in Boston in 1684. In 1690 he moved

to Lexington, then the west precinct of Cambridge, where he lived the res-

idue of his life, with the exception of a residence of two years in the

westerly part of Woburn, now Burlington. In 1691 he subscribed towards

the building of the First Meeting House in Lexington. In 1692 and 3 he

contributed toward the support of Rev. Mr. Easterbrooks, the first settled

minister of that town. In the records of the church, kept by Rev. Kr. Eas-

terbrooks, we find the following: "August 17th 1699 - Baptized Josiah Hobbs and

his wife Tabitha, and received them into the church in full communion. Sept.

17th, 1699, baptized Josiah, Tabitha, and Mary Hobbs. Oct. 1700, baptized

Matthew and Susanna Hobbs, Jan. 8, 1710, baptized Ebenezer Hobbs. April 13,

1712, baptized Tabitha Hobbs." From the above it appears that Josiah, the

emigrant, had seven children. After a careful examination of the records

of Boston, Lexington, and the adjacent towns, we have come to the conclusion

that none of the sons lived to have families with the exception of Josiah.

The elder Hobbs, according to the representations given, was of a slight

figure, and somewhat below the medium size. He died at Lexington on the

30th of May, 1741, aged 92 years.

                                   ELDEST CHILD OF JOSIAH HOBBS

(2) JOSIAH2 (3) b. in Boston in 1654; moved to Lexington, Mass., with his father, in 1690, where he

resided until about 1705. Being then 21 years of age, he returned to Boston and there remained for the

next 25 years. In 1708 he married Esther Davenport of Dorchester, and resided at the north

end of Boston, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits. When far

advanced in years he used to relate many interesting events of his early

days. He stated that himself,and his boys, drove the cows to pasture

from the north end of Boston to Muddy Brook, now Brookline, and also to

Roxbury; and that he had hoed corn on Comhill: He and his wife joined

the New North Church (Cotton Mather's), where all his children, but one,

were christened. In 1730 he took up his residence in the town of Weston,

with his family, consisting of three sons and four daughters; their youngest

son, Nathan, being born the year after their removal. Mr. Hobos purchased

his farm, in Weston, of a M. Cheeny. This spot has been looked upon as the

home of the family, from that day to this, no records of which having been

kept, the traditions have passed down to us through the said Josiah. He held

with strictness to the faith and worship of our Puritan fathers, and was care-

ful to observe the rules and to practice all the austerities that belonged to

the sect at that day. Soon after their settlement at Weston, Mr. Hobbs and

his wife connected themselves with the church in that place, of which the

Rev. William Williams and the Rev. Samuel Woodward were pastors. Mr. Hobbs

died 27 Feb., 1779, aged 94 years. His widow deceased 29 Nov. 1778, aged 88.

(3) 1. EBENEZER3 (10) b. in Boston in 1709; moved to Weston with the family;

Mar. Eunice Garfield, of Lincoln, in 1734. He died from an

injury received on the 19th of Oct., 1762, aged 53 yrs. His

widow departed this life 4th Oct., 1776, aged 68.

(4) 2 and 3 JOSIAH3 (18) and JOHN3 (24), twins, were born on Governor's Island,

in Boston Harbor, in 1721, whither their parents had removed

                                                            Page 3

for a temporary residence. In 1743 they joined the church in Weston. Soon

after this, they bought adjoining farms in the southeast part of Brookfield, which went in that day by the local name of Podunk. Josiah3 and John), married about 1744 or '45. Josiah3 m.Mary Harrington, of Weston, who died in 1804, aged 8~ years. John3 m. Beulah Warren of the same town. These twin brothers connected themselves with the Church of Rev. Nathan Fiske, who went

from Weston to Brookfield and settled there about the same time. They were

both deacons of this church, at different periods of their lives, and were ex-

emplary Christian men, patterns worthy of imitation. They were each in active

service during some portion of the Revolutionary war. John3 was at the taking

of Burgoyne and his army, and was engaged in the active military operations

which immediately preceded and led to the surrender. He caught a severe cold

by his exposures in the camp and field, from which he never recovered. He

was able, however, to reach his home in Brookfield, where after lingering a few

weeks, he died, in 1777, in the 57th year of his life.

Josiah3 continued to reside in Brookfield til his death in 1602, aged 81 yrs.

(See 47) His second wife, by whom he had one son, was widow Lucy Holmes of Boston, who died in 1812, aged 71. He Was a soldier of the Revolution. On the morning of the 19th of April, 1775, he started for Concord, and with others tool an active part in the engagement, after the British troops had crossed the North Bridge. He was one of the number who pursued the retreating enemy as

far as west Cambridge, where, being relieved by other companies, they

returned to Concord the same night. Mr. Hobbs then enlisted in the com-

pany of Capt. Charles Miles, of Concord, being one of the subaltern offi-

cers, and for a time was under the command of Col. Read. In Feb., 1776,

he joined the Wesson company, commanded by Jonathan Fiske, and was made

an ensign of that company. Capt. Fiske's company, with other Middlesex

troops, was under the command of Col. Eleazer Brooks, of Lincoln, Samuel

Lamson of Weston, Major. This regiment, with other troops, was ordered

to take possession of Dorchester Heights.
He was at White Plains in Sept. of that year. In 1780 he enlisted for

three years, or during the war, and was made captain of the Weston company;

his two lieutenants, by the name of Livermore, belonged to Weston. This

company Was employed in the western and northern parts of New York State, at

Ticonderoga, Crown Point, and other posts leading to Canada. They saw much service

and returned to their homes at the close of the war in 1782. Capt. Hobbs, like

many others, came out of the army without a shilling in his pocket. Still

he never complained. He died in 1817, six years before the law was passed

mous party who, in disguise, threw overboard the tea in Boston. He used to

say that the whole chests of bohea, weighing 360 Lbs., were rather heavy to

lift. He settled at Sturbridge, where his four sons remained. He was a most
