449. Nancy
Churchill was born on Mar 17 1795 in Newington Parish, CT.
NOTE:Nancy, the second wife of Leonard Chester Hubbard, was a person of very
strong individuality. After her mother's death she was forced to assume the
chief duties of the household, her older sister Julia, being an invalid, until
the time of her marriage. Mr. Seymour, to whom we are indebted for most of the
biographical matter relating to the family of Capt. Charles Churchill, says
that "she was a woman of great decision of character, brought up her family
in the fear of God, and lived to great age. In her later years she was tenderly
cared for by her family, but she never relinquished her authority, nor gave
up the strict Sabbath day observance to which she had been bred in her father's
household." He describes he as having "jet black eyes and hair and unusually
white skin." He recalls one Sabbath he passed in the home of her son Leonard,
with whom she was living, and well remembers the austere character of the day,
all secular conversation being avoided, and the reading of the Bible occupying
the chief attention. She seened to him like an ancient prophetess. They lived
at Newington until after the birth of their children when they removed to Berlin.
She was married
to Leonard Chester Hubbard (son of Timothy Hubbard and Abigail Deming) on Apr
23 1826. Leonard Chester Hubbard was born
