William Hubbard (clergyman)
William Hubbard (1621 – September 24, 1704) was a New England
As a child, he was taken by his parents to New England, where he later graduated from Harvard as one of nine graduates in the first commencement ceremony (1642),[1] was ordained and became assistant minister and afterward pastor of the Congregational church at Ipswich, Massachusetts, a post which he resigned just a year before his death.[2]
He wrote, at the order of the Colonial government which paid him 50 pounds for it,[a] a History of New England,[3] mainly compilation, which barely escaped destruction by fire when Gov. Thomas Hutchinson's house was mobbed in 1765. The Massachusetts Historical Society printed it in 1815. He wrote also, A Narrative of Troubles with the Indians (Boston, 1677),[4] which for years was popular in New England. The work contains a map of the greater Massachusetts Bay Colony and surrounding area, from a woodcut by John Foster and is the first printed map produced in the American colonies.[5]
Hubbard's work was reprinted at the beginning of the nineteenth century at
