Hello,

A man by the name of Jacob Hubbs signed as a bondsman for the marriage of Theophilus Williams and Margaret Hinch on 6 April 1790.

Generally speaking this would make him have some kind of connection to the brides family.

I'd guess that this was the rev. war soldier born in 1762, so he would be about 28 yoa and a bit older than the bride and groom but, younger than the bride's father.

Does anyone know of a connection between the Hinch's and the Hubbs?

Thanks,
Vicki

Don't believe I'm related to the Hubbs family. However, I am a Summers descendant. Found Jacob Hubbs' Rev War Pension application document on-line and thought Hubbs descendants would like to have this invaluable reference. Hubbs mentions he was known to Benjamin Summers who may well have been son of my Benjamin Summers 1737-1783/84 b. in Maryland, lived in Bullit Co, KY and died in Washington Co, PA. Benjamin Sr. married Grace Letton - both Summers and Lettons are in KY. Anyways, below I've copied and pasted the on-line application info which can be found at:
