Dear Sir: 
Reference is made to you letter in which you request the record of David S. Hubbard who served in the Revolutionary War from Massachusetts and received pension in Chenango County, New York.
You are furnished herein the record of David S. Hubbard as found in pension claim, N. [illegible], based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of David S. Hubbard are not given.
David S. Hubbard enlisted in April, 1775, place not given, served about four months as private in Captain William Goodrich's company, Colonel Peterson's Massachusetts regiment, and five months in Captain Charles Dibbell's company, Colonel Peterson's Massachusetts regiment, was in the battle of Bunker Hill and was discharged January 1, 1776. He enlisted about March 15, 1776, in Springfield, Massachusetts, served as a private in Captain Enoch Chapin's company, Colonel Elisha Porter's Massachusetts regiment, was in the expedition to Montreal and was discharged January 5, 1777. He enlisted in November or December, 1777, and served three months as a private in Captain Caldwell's company, Colonel Timothy Robinson's Massachusetts regiment. Immediately preceding the close of the war, he served nine months in Captain Bentley's (probably meant for Bulkley's) company, Colonel Samuel B. Webb's Connecticut regiment,. The soldier enlisted under the  name David Hubbard and after leaving the army, added the middle name Stew to his name "to bear up the name of his deceased mother".
The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, while living in Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York, aged sixty-three years. He died July 10, 1833, in Saratoga, New York, or Sandy Hill, Washington County, New York.

In 1821, one Samuel Kibbe, of Sangerfield, Oneida County, New York, stated that the soldier, David Hubbard, married his (Samuel's) sister, and that during service n Colonel Elisha Porter's regiment, as stated above, soldier's "family" was left in part in his care, but he did not give their names, nor the name of his sister.

Soldier married August 15, 1796, in Kingston, Luserne County, Pennsylvania, Rebecca or Rebekah Maurice. 

Soldier's widow, Rebecca Hubbard, was allowed pension on her application executed June 25, 1849, at which time she was a resident of Bainbridge, New York, aged seventy-three years.

Soldier's son was referred to in 1821, then aged thirteen years, his name not stated.

In 1819, Abijah Hubbard appeared in Seneca County, state not named, in support of soldier's claim for pension and n 1821, Samuel Hubbard appeared in Jefferson County, New York, also, in support of the claim; both were brothers of the soldier.

One Mrs. Lucy Hubbard stated in 1849 in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, that she cared for the soldier, David Hubbard, in his last illness, but did not state any relationship.

Very truly yours

This may certify that David Hubbard is a person that I have been acquainted with for some years past and that he has occasionally celled on me as a Physician.
His complaints as near as I can judge originated from uncommon exertion in severe weather and in  and in privations of the necessary comforts of life which I believe to be brought about by his service in the Revolutionary War. 
 He is now a man far advanced in age and is a person (in my opinion) entitled to a pension under the Law making a provision for superannuated invalids.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of recent date, relative to David Hubbard, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

The data which follow are obtained from the papers on filed in pension claim, W. 1869, based upon the military service of David Hubbard in the Revolutionary War.

David Hubbard enlisted in April, 1775, served about four months as a private in Captain William Goodrich's company, Colonel Paterson's Massachusetts regiment, and five months in Captain Charles Dibbell's company, Colonel Paterson's Massachusetts regiment, was in the battle of Bunker Hill and was discharged January 1, 1776. He enlisted about March 15, 1776, in Springfield, Massachusetts, served as a private in Captain Enoch Chapin's company, Colonel Elisha Porter's Massachusetts regiment, was in the expedition to Montreal and was discharged January 5, 1777. He enlisted in November or December, 1777, and served three months as a private in Captain Caldwell's company, Colonel Timothy Robinson's Massachusetts regiment. Immediately preceding the close of the war, he served nine months in Captain Bentley's ( probably meant for Bulkley's) company, Colonel Samuel B. Webb's Connecticut regiment.

After leaving the army, soldier added the middle name Stow to his name "to bear up the name of his deceased mother".

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, while living in Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York, aged sixty-three years.

He died July 10, 1825, in Saratoga, New York, or Sandy Hill,
Page 58

Washington County, New York,

   In 1821, one Samuel Kibbe, of Sangerfield, Oneida County, New York, stated that the soldier, David Hubbard, married his sister, and that during service in Colonel Elisha Porter's regiment, as stated above, soldier's "family" was left in part in his care, but he did not give their names, nor the name of his sister.
   
   Soldier married August 13, 1796, in Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Rebecca or Rebekah Maurice.

   She was allowed pension on her application executed June 25, 1849, at which time she was a resident of Bainbridge, New York, aged seventy-three years.

   Soldier's son was referred to in 1821, then aged thirteen years, his name not stated.

   In 1819, Abijah Hubbard appeared in Seneca County, state not named, in support of soldier's claim for pension and in 1821 Samuel Hubbard appeared in Jefferson County, New York also in support of the claim; both were brothers of the soldier.

   One Mrs. Lucy Hubbard stated in 1849 in Bradford County, Pennsylvanie, that she cared for the soldier, David Hubbard, in his last illness, but did not state any relationship.

Very truly yours
