Hubler history W. R. Hubler, Jr., M. D

Other HUBLER surname families

There were other HUBLER lines in Pennsylvania that were contemporary with Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789). He and his descendents were the only HUBLERs in the Northampton Co area in 18^th century Pennsylvania, but others lived in other parts of the state. Some may have been related since the name "HUBLER" is unique, and there are many paths that cross; but as far as is known, Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) had no relatives in America when he immigrated in 1737. I do not know anything about the first 3-4 years of the life of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) in Pennsylvania or his marriage to Barbara. He was single when he immigrated in 1737. I suspect that he went to Germantown where he met and wed Barbara, but it is possible that he joined relatives or friends there and probable that his first years were spent with his American benefactor, while he completed on his indenture contract.

Discussed below are a few of the other 18^th century HUBLER immigrants to Pennsylvania. Their sketches are incomplete and focused on the possible intercalation with my HUBLER line or the amplification of understanding of life in Pennsylvania in the 1700s. The boundaries of counties changed throughout the history of Pennsylvania, and a cursory glance at such moving targets are frustrating to genealogists; however, a closer look reveals the close proximity of all the regions of HUBLER inhabitance.

The earliest HUBLER immigrant was Jacob HUBLER (1703-1814). He was 30 years old when immigrated in 1733) with his wife, Anna Barbara ?? (b 1708) who was 25 years old when they immigrated in 1733). They did not seem to be part of the life of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) of Northampton Co.²⁹⁴

One source lists Jacob HUBLER as one of the first settlers in that area in 1734, so the family moved there almost immediately after immigration; and the HUBLER family lived entirely in Lancaster, Berks and Lebanon Co until later than 1790 when part of them settled in Tahayne Twp., Cumberland Co (now Perry Co), but most stayed in Lebnon Co or moved to Northumberland or Centre Co.

Franz HUBLER married Carlina Kirner in 1757; and in 1763, Indians attacked the family. He was wounded and three of their six children were killed, while three other children and his wife were carried away. After the war, he is known to have a wife, so she may have been returned to him, or he remarried²⁹⁵ since a childbirth was recorded in 1768, a daughter, Julianna (b Apr. 14, 1768). Frantz HUBLER moved from his father’s farm in the 1760s to Upper Bern Township, and in the 1790s, he moved across the Blue Mountains into Pinegrove Township. ²⁹⁶

John HOOBER (b ca 1734) was born in America, probably when his father was still an indentured servant. The first record of John HOOBLER (b ca 1734) appears in 1760 on the Berks County tax list from Tulpehocken. His wife was Anna Margaretha (Margaret). They had at least 9 children. With his older brother, Frantz, he became head of the Hoobler farm after his father’s death. John appears on Berks County tax lists along with Jacob from 1760 to 1789. From 1790 to 1794, John appears on the tax lists but without Jacob, so his father, Jacob HUBLER, probably died in 1789. During the American Revolution, John HOOBER was a volunteer from Tulpehocken in the Pennsylvania Militia, 6th Battalion, 3rd Company from Berks County. His name is on the muster roll of this company on duty at the Battle of South Amboy, Long Island in September of 1776. In 1795, John moved west about 75 miles to the settlement of Blain in Toboyne Township of Cumberland County (now Jackson Township of Perry Co, PA). He purchased 66½ acres while his children’s families purchased land nearby. After his wife, Margaret, died in 1799, John sold his land and moved in with his eldest son, Adam HOOBLER. In the spring of 1813, the John Hoobler family split up for the first time. Three of his sons, Adam (probably along with Johannes), John Jr., and Michael HOOBLER bought land in Jefferson County, Ohio. He probably died after June 1820. ²⁹⁷

Adam and John Hoobler

I have seen only one source for this family, ²⁹⁸ and it is on the Internet; however, the information is detailed and intriguing. Letters to the author of the website have not been answered. In 1755, two brothers, Adam and John Hubler, landed in Pennsylvania from the good ship Virtuous Grace of Rotterdam, John Bull Master (the same ship and master who brought Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) two decades earlier). That is strange, and it seems to be the only connection with the two HUBLER families. Their German name seemed to be "Hubler," but in future generations, it often was spelled "Hoobler." Adam HUBLER was probably born in Germany about 1735. In the United States, he was a horse vendor, and shipped the horses from Pennsylvania to the Atlantic Coast. On one of these trips, he was robbed and killed. Adam HUBLER left three sons—William, Jacob, and Samuel HUBLER. I don’t know anything about John HUBLER.

William HUBLER, the son of Adam HUBLER, was probably born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Spears. In about 1820, they moved from Washington County, Pennsylvania to a farm 3 miles south of Wattsville, Ohio (a small town 5 miles north of Bergholtz, Ohio.). But their farm was across the county line in Jefferson County, Ohio. His family probably was born there; and in the early 1850s, they moved to Steubenville, Ohio where William HUBLER was a cobbler. In his old age, they moved to Nebo (now Bergholtz, Ohio) and lived with their daughter, Sarah (Hoobler) Alien. At age 71, Mary (Spears) HUBLER died of internal injuries received when she was thrown from a runaway horse. William HUBLER died of pneumonia at the age of 84. They were buried in the United Presbyterian cemetery at Scrogifield, Carroll County, Ohio. William HUBLER and Mary Spears had ten children.

Also, sadly, I do not know more of the families of the other two sons of Adam HUBLER.

Salome HUBLER (Apr.4, 1759-Apr.17, 1832) (m Jacob Farling) (bur Shoops, Dauphin Co)

John HUBLER (ca ? 1762- ??)

Abraham (Abram) HUBLER (1716-1777) immigrated on the English ship, St. Andrew, Robert Brown, Captain, from Rotterdam landing on Oct. 7, 1743 in Philadelphia, PA. Abraham HUBLER was age 27 years when he immigrated. He was single and married Salome ?? (ca 1727- < 1777) probably about 1746.

Marcia Wilson, a descendent of Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) [the son of Abraham HUBLER (see above)] found evidence that her family originally emigrated from Switzerland. Philip Frank Hubler M.D. wrote a family history on the back of a chromolithograph, "Peggy at the Gate,” from the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer about 1901. His grandson Raymond Woodward Hubler gave it to Marcia Wilson in the 1960's. It states "Jacob Hubler and one brother came from Schwites” (supposed to be the Canton of Schwites in Switzerland). Since Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) of Northampton Co wrote to a friend in Twann in 1739, it is possible that the Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) who immigrated in 1743 was related to him. The birth dates of the two would be compatible with siblinghood; however, the family logs in Twann do not identify a brother of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789). The proxy of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) in his efforts to get his Swiss inheritance was an innkeeper in Lancaster County, the same area that Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) was located. Also, Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) was possibly a native of the Swatara Region of Lebanon Co, PA.²⁹⁹

Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) was in Tulpehocken Twp, Berks Co or Bethel Twp, Lebanon Co until he purchased land and settled in 1765 in East Hanover Twp, Lebanon Co, PA. On May 25, 1765 in Dauphin Co (it was first Berks Co, then Lancaster Co until 1785, then Dauphin Co until 1813, then Lebanon Co),³⁰⁰ Abraham HUBLER bought 259 acres from John Gamble. Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) was taxed on land he owned in Bethel Twp, Lebanon Co in 1751, and he was taxed in East Hanover Twp, Lebanon Co in 1770. Jacob HUBLER (? Abraham's son) was taxed in East Hanover Twp, Lebanon Co in 1773. On Nov. 10, 1775 the county court appointed Abraham HUBLER of Hanover Township as the guardian of the Estates of John Henning, Sophia Henning, John Adam Henning, Thomas Henning and Benjamin Henning, minor children of Jacob Henning.³⁰¹

Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) recorded his will on Feb. 19, 1777, and it was proved on Mar. 4, 1777 in Hanover Twp., Lancaster Co, PA (now Lebanon Co); and so he died between those dates at and left a sizable estate of cash and land to his children. From that will, a partial list of family can be reproduced. Abraham HUBLER's wife was not listed and had probably died earlier. His daughter [Barbara (HUBLER) Alberthal, the wife of Francis Alberthal] and his son-in-law (Francis Alberthal) received his farm [where Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) had been residing]; his son (Jacob HUBLER) got 5 pounds and “what he had already received;” his two daughters (Catherine HUBLER and Salome HUBLER) received 150 pounds, and his son (John HUBLER) inherited 150 pounds.³⁰² So, logical calculations reveal that his eldest daughter, Barbara, was 30 years old and married; his older son, Jacob HUBLER, was an adult and had moved on [probably he was the Jacob HUBLER living in Northumberland Co,³⁰³ at the time that Abraham HUBLER died in 1777; Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) had fled from Northumberland Co in the Great Runaway about 1777 or 1778]; his daughter, Catharine HUBLER, was 21 years old and single; his daughter, Salome HUBLER, was 16 years old and single, and his younger son, John HUBLER, was a minor and single. That there were minor children might explain the wording of the will of Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777), which implies that there were children younger than 21 years.

On March 22, 1785 [almost ten years after the death of Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777)], there is a deed (probably for the same 259 acres that Abraham HUBLER had purchased in 1765) in Dauphine Co (which was established in 1785), for 110 acres to Francis Alberthal (Abraham HUBLER’s son-in-law and the husband of Barbara (HUBLER) Alberthal] and 149 acres to Catharine (Abraham HUBLER’s daughter and the wife of Nicholas Albertdeal) [actually, the transaction was among several parties—Francis Albertdeal (Abraham HUBLER’s son-in-law) and his wife, Barbara (Abraham HUBLER’s daughter), of Hanover Twp., Jacob Farling (Abraham HUBLER’s son-in-law) and his wife Salome HUBLER Farling, John HUBLER of Hanover Twp. and Jacob HUBLER of Northumberland Co on one part and Nicholas Albertdeal (husband of Catharine HUBLER, the daughter of Abraham HUBLER) of Hanover Twp on the other.]³⁰⁴ It appears that Jacob HUBLER had returned to Northumberland Co, and John HUBLER still resided in Hanover Twp. All had reached the age of majority, but the spouses of John and Jacob HUBLER were not identified. The data is fragmented.

Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) was probably the Jacob/Margaret HUBLER who settled in Centre Co (see above and following). "Salome" is an unusual name for HUBLER surname families. The Mormon Library IGI lists a "Salome" HUBLER, daughter of Jacob/Susanna, christened at the Egypt Reformed Church in Lehigh Co on Feb.15, 1806 and a "Salme,” daughter of John/Sussanna HUBLER, christened at Altalaha Evangelical Lutheran Church, Rehrersburg, Berks Co, PA on May 19, 1793. So Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822), the son of Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777), was raised in East Hanover Twp., Lebanon Co and probably married Margaret Harper there and settled in Northumberland Co.

Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) was probably reared in the Swatara Region of Lebanon Co, PA³⁸⁵ and probably was the son of Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777). He married Margaret Harper (1755-1832), daughter of Adam Harper (1722-??),³⁸⁶ who lived near East Hanover Twp, Indiantown Gap Military Reservation (the modern location) in Lebanon Co, PA. [On Sept. 13, 1772 at the Swatara Reformed Church in Lebanon Co, Francis Albert and his wife (Maria Barbara) baptized their infant daughter (Anna Margaret Albert), and the sponsors were Jacob Hubler and Margaret Harper (so the couple was single in 1772, but were already associated, and this is a good linking reference); and when their son (Henry HUBLER) was baptized at the Tabor Lutheran Church in Lebanon Co in 1778, Franz Albert and his wife (“M. Barbara”) returned the favor and sponsored the baptismal].³⁸⁷ (John) Adam Harper (the father of Margaret Harper) emigrated from Germany in 1743 at the age of 21 (?) years.³⁸⁸ (He became an Associate Judge when the court was begun in 1780.)³⁸⁹

Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) moved with wife Margaret Harper and her two brothers to Northumberland Co (Centre Co), PA over Indian trails about 1772. Testimony in a court case years (1810) later involving several litigants confirmed his residency in Potter Twp. prior to 1774.³⁹⁰ He was one of the first settlers of Penns' Valley, Potter Twp, Northumberland Co (now Haines Twp., Centre Co), which is just south of Aaronsburg).³⁹¹ Actually, he was identified as the third or fourth settler in that area of Penn Valley. On Sept. 20, 1776, Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) tried to petition the revolutionary forces³⁹² to give the Indians in Potter Twp. arms in an effort to try to convert the Native Americans,³⁹³ rather than having the Indians go to the British. (Adam Harper was also a signer.)³⁹⁴ But the petition failed, and the HUBLER family fled in 1778 probably to eastern PA.³⁹⁵ He is listed as a Captain in the Bretz Company, Berks Co militia in the Revolutionary War.³⁹⁶ [During the Revolutionary War, most settlers fled eastward to escape Indian raids (the Indians often were allied with the British who supplied them with arms) in the "Great Runaway.” The Stovers who were neighbors of the HUBLER family (and later in-laws) were burned out by the Indians.³⁹⁷]

After the War (probably in the mid 1780s), the Jacob HUBLER family returned to Potter Twp, Northumberland Co. Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) was listed on the 1786, 1787 and 1789 tax rolls for Potter Twp. He bought land in Haines/Potter Twp. on Oct. 24, 1786; June 9, 1784 and June 29, 1797. ³⁹⁸ On March 1, 1793, a warranty for 100 acres in Northumberland Co was issued for Jacob HUBLER. In August 1794, Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) was a petitioner to divide Haines Twp., Northumberland Co between Penns and Brush Valleys. On Oct. 11, 1798, he was recorded as a surety for the estate of John HUBLER. ["Penn's Valley" is the valley that defines the watershed for Penn's Creek. It arises in Centre Co, crosses the SW corner of Union Co, traverses the NE corner of Snyder Co and empties into the Susquehanna River not far from Selinsgrove. Penn Township (now in Snyder Co) was formed in 1758, before Northumberland Co was formed in 1772. That area lay within Northumberland Co until it fell into Union Co at its creation in 1813. It fell within Snyder Co when it was created from Union Co in 1855.]

Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) [and subsequently his sons, especially his eldest (Adam HUBLER)] erected a grist and sawmill at Potters Township in 1786,³⁹⁹, ⁴⁰⁰ and he deeded land in 1789 to Christopher Henning.⁴⁰¹ He was a supervisor of roads; and in 1795, he owned 100 acres next to Aaron Levi and Philip French (later his grandson would marry his neighbor’s descendent); and 1789, he was a supervisor of roads again. On March 7, 1804, he and his brother-in-law (Adam Harper) sold some land (to Michael Motz and Jacob Hosterman) for a schoolhouse in eastern Haines Twp. In 1804, he and his brother-in-law sold some land for a schoolhouse in eastern Haines Twp. He left a large estate when he died in 1822. Most of his land was near his burial site in Stover Cemetery (it is called “Stover Cemetery” because most of those interred there are members of the Stover family—the in-laws of the HUBLERs’) near Aaronsburg, PA. The headstone is well preserved, and the life dates are clear in German script. Margaret HARPER (1755-1832) is buried in Reformed Cemetery in Aaronsburg—1^st section, last row.⁴⁰²

The land contracts of Jacob HUBLER are as follows: (1) a tract of land in Haines Township, Centre County adjoining Michael Hess, Adam Weaver and others, containing 125 acres (sold Mar. 9, 1829 to Thomas Hubler); (2) a tract of land adjoining #1, containing 91 acres (and it was apparently the homestead property) (also sold on Mar. 9, 1829 to Thomas Hubler); (3) a tract of land in Millheim, containing 57acres (sold to George Hubler on Mar. 9, 1829); (4) a tract of land in Potter Township, containing 97 acres, adjoining George Hubler and Abel Moore, etc. (sold Mar. 11, 1829 to George Hubler) and (5) a tract of land in Walker Township adjoining William Ewen, Esq., Henry Hubler, etc., containing 164 acres (sold to David Hubler, the son of Adam, deceased). Therefore, it could be deduced that when Jacob HUBLER died in 1822, his son Thomas ended up with the homestead lots and the Haines Township lands. Also, that Jacob had owned land in Millheim, which George Hubler bought. [George Hubler (1787-1857) was born in Haines Township; moved to Ferguson Twp with brother, Henry HUBLER; then moved to Potter Township where he was living in 1829 and bought an additional piece of land from his father's estate; then returned to Haines Twp, and finally settled in Miles Twp where he died. Henry Hubler also held Walker Township lands. John HUBLER’s son, Jacob HUBLER (the grandson of old Jacob HUBLER), went there, also. One of these three HUBLER men named Hublersburg after the family.⁴⁰³

Hublersburg

In central Pennsylvania, “Hublersburg” is situated on road only miles between Bellefontaine and Lock Haven. The earliest surveys were made in the territory in 1770. Hublersburg is located within Walker Township, which is situated in Nittany Valley proper, and is traversed by Little Fishing creek. The township’s villages are Zion, Hublersburg, Snydertown and Nittany (for more information about these, see Paul M. Dubbs, “Where to Go and Place-Names of Centre County, 1961”). It has considerable iron ore deposits. Walker Twp was established in 1810.

Jacob Bolander laid out Hublersburg for the estate Jacob HUBLER on May 10, 1832.⁴⁰⁴ Farming is now the main occupation of the inhabitants of Walker Township. The population in 1850 was 1,221 and in 1990 was 2,801. (Tax assessment records for Walker Township from 1811 forward can be found in the basement of the Centre County Library and Historical Museum in Bellefonte, and these could be a fruitful area of search.)⁴⁰⁵ In 1882, Hublersburg had two general stores, three churches, (Presbyterian, Evangelical and Reformed), a foundry, one hotel, two blacksmiths, two shoe shops, one school, 29 houses and a population of 170.⁴⁰⁶ Jacob HUBLER had owned the land; and on May 10, 1832, his heirs had it surveyed into plots and started a village, which bears his name.⁴⁰⁷ Some say that Hublersburg was name posthumously for a Jacob HUBLER who lived on the land in about 1816.⁴⁰⁸ He was assessed for a sawmill and a horse and cow and his land around that time.⁴⁰⁹ His sons, David and Henry HUBLER,⁴¹⁰ lived in or around Hublersburg in the early 1830's, although the land was still in Jacob HUBLER's name.⁴¹¹ (Jacob HUBLER in that scenario is identified as the Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822) who was married to Margaret Harper and was a pioneer settler of Potter Twp, Northumberland Co/Centre Co.⁴¹² He had a son name Henry HUBLER, but none that I know of named David HUBLER.⁴¹³ At Bellefonte Library are the estate papers of Jacob Hubler (1751-1822) who died in 1822 and left everything to his wife and children. His estate probably was not settled until 1832 when his wife died or was too feeble to oversee his estate. Hublersburg was formed in May 1832, and she died in July 1832. Perhaps their children sold the plots and created the town posthumously—ten years after the death of Jacob HUBLER (1751-1822). He and Margaret Harper never lived in the area of Hublersburg; however, Jacob HUBLER did have vast land holdings, in several places. He also had a gristmill and a woolen factory).

In 1832, a small store was opened in a log cabin. There is a sign outside of Hublersburg that credits the founding of the town to Jacob HUBLER in 1832. It goes farther to describe this Jacob HUBLER as an early Huguenot settler. [No one knows the origin of that information and repeated requests to the Pennsylvania state Bureau of Transportation (that erected the sign) have not been answered.] Now the town is small, but it has a small hotel and quite a few establishments. Although people in Hublersburg are friendly, no one seems to know of any HUBLER families there now or ever.⁴¹⁴ However, a quote from the HUBLER family says that Jacob HUBLER who “was accompanied by two brothers who later returned to Clearfield Co” founded Hublersburg in Centre Co on May 12, 1832⁴¹⁵

[I put this discussion here because the most likely scenario is that Jacob Hubler (1751-1822) bought the land, and it was named posthumously for him and lots were sold by his sons after his wife died. Adding to the puzzle is the Regina HUBLER will. In the will of Mariah Hubler of Walker Township, she left everything to her niece, Regina HUBLER.⁴¹⁶ In turn, Regina HUBLER wished in the will (but which was never carried out) to have a marker erected on the "Family Plot at Hublersburg" with the inscription: "In Memory of the Hubler Family" and individual stones with the names and dates of all the members there. No such monument exists. Regina HUBLER drew up the will with only one witness, who also was named as sole heir and executor—Regina's aunt, Rebecca Charles. Several relatives are probably buried in this plot at Hublersburg, but Mariah HUBLER has the sole gravestone—“HUBLER, Maria, female, age 78, single, born at Haines Twp, Occup: Inn Keeper, died Jan. 21, 1905 at Hublersburg, of Comp of Disease, Interred at Hublersburg.”⁴¹⁷]

However, there are two facts that need clarification—the road sign that claims that the town was founded by a French Huguenot and the family reference to three HUBLER brothers (Jacob HUBLER, the founder of Hublersburg and his two un-named brothers), two of whom “returned to Clearfield Co” [The only HUBLERs in Clearfield Co at that time were the descendants of Abraham HUBLER (1779-ca 1840). Abraham HUBLER (1779-ca 1840) did have an unidentified son who was on the 1820 Clearfield Co census, but not on the 1830 census, as well as, several other sons who might have been possible for the two brothers who returned to Clearfield Co.] In short, no one seems to know exactly who founded Hublersburg.

An interesting yearbook describes the towns of Walker Twp as compiled by the senior class of Walker Twp High School of 1927. Only part is extant, but that that exists offers a fun and salient history of life there in the 1800s in terms of 1927, which is also insightful—it is a glimpse of the distant past as seen in remote times and interpreted in modern view.⁴¹⁸ Some extracts are summarized in reference to Hublersburg. According to the yearbook, Jacob Hubler lived there in Walker Twp in 1825. In 1832, he hired Jacob Bolander to survey his land into town plots and started the village. The pioneer settlers of the town were Jacob Miller, Henry Reed and Henry Diminis. Hublersburg did not grow rapidly, and its western edge remained untouched forest for many years. The main occupation was farming, but two stores (one owned by Henry Brown, and the other by S.H. Goodheart), two blacksmith shops, a crockery and two shoe shops opened also. At one time a foundry, run by water, a tannery and an iron ore mine operated. The largest hotel in Walker Twp was the Hubler Hotel, which was built about 1825 by Anthony Carner, and Michael HUBLER purchased it in 1870 (who operated it until 1895). After that, it was operated as a boarding house from 1895 to 1919, was a private residence, was remodeled and then became vacant. In the 1800s, stages drawn by four horses became modern conveyances; and in many cases, they replaced the private buggies and sleighs on the dirt roads. Before then, settlers traveled on foot or via horseback on Indian trails. (In 1901, the first automobile—a Ford for $400—was used in Walker Twp, and in 1912, road covering over the dirt was first used.) In 1840, the Presbyterian Church at Hublersburg was built (an Evangelical Church opened in 1859, and a Reformed Church in 1882—no mention of a Catholic Church or Huguenot congregation is made), and in 1904, the building was bought by the community for $400 and became the Town Hall. The first school of Walker Twp began in 1866, but the building was torn down in 1906, and the lumber was re-used in other edifices. Telephone lines reached the village in 1890. In 1910, William Shower operated a flourmill at Hublersburg. In 1927, electric lines did not traverse the township—residents relied on kerosene lamps!

In 1997, no HUBLERs resided in Hublersburg. Hublersburg Hotel was still standing but was operated only as a bar.⁴¹⁹ There is no historical society there.

It is written that John HUBLER and "his brother" moved to Center Co, PA (then Northumberland Co, PA) from "Northampton Co" probably in the mid-1780s (John HUBLER was listed on the 1790 Federal Census for Northumberland Co—no townships are listed). After a few years, John HUBLER and his wife Catherine moved to Turtle Creek Twp, Northumberland Co (now Union Co) in 1793 where his second son (and probably 4^th child), John HUBLER, was born. In 1795-1796, he was listed as a taxpayer in East Buffalo Twp., Union Co (Jacob HUBLER was not listed). On Oct. 11, 1789, Jacob HUBLER was recorded as a surety for the estate of John HUBLER⁴³⁸ (which is the only connection that I have seen between John and Jacob HUBLER.) He bought land in Haines Twp on Mar. 1, 1790 and more on Dec. 14, 1793 and on Apr. 19, 1802 in Buffalo Twp.⁴³⁹ (Jacob HUBLER also bought land in Haines Twp. in 1794.) ⁴⁴⁰

John HUBLER (1765-1845)/Catherine's family group has been documented. Most of his sons (except for Henry HUBLER) moved to Stark Co, Ohio (Adam, Abraham, John and Jacob). John HUBLER (1765-1845) made several trips to Stark Co, OH where he purchased a large tract of land.⁴⁴¹. He and Catharine deeded land to his children over the years, for example, on Aug. 3, 1824, they “sold” two tracts to his son, John HUBLER, Jr. (b 1793) (no wife was named) for $10, and his brother, Jacob HUBLER (b 1796) already had “bought” the adjacent land. Catharine signed with an “X,” so could not write.⁴⁴²

John HUBLER was born in 1765 and died in 1845 on his homestead in Turtle Creek, Union Co. Catherine died ten days later. John HUBLER (1765-1845) was a large man, “raw-boned,” vigorous who cleared his homestead and farm from the surrounding forest; he was a Dunkard and his wife, Catherine, was Lutheran.⁴⁴³ Since then, the homestead has remained in the HUBLER family owned by successive generations—John-Henry-John, Sr.-John, Jr.⁴⁴⁴-Isaac⁴⁴⁵-Robert HUBLER. Isaac HUBLER (1826-1910) was a cattle drover, merchant and farmer; he was a not-too-active Democrat and a Lutheran (his father was a Dunkard), but was better educated than his father (12^th grade, English), but his health was not as good.⁴⁴⁶ In 1993, Robert and Elizabeth HUBLER (who are in their 70's) still live on a HUBLER farm in Lewisburg, PA. They are the 6th generation HUBLER surname families who have lived there, and their house was built 1850 and their barn in 1847, both were built by Henry HUBLER (1801-1874) (who was a strong man of domestic skills who earned a meager education at the German-speaking only nearby Dreisbach Church school; he spurned mechanical advances, and he was a Whig then Democrat).⁴⁴⁷ His direct ancestor was John HUBLER/Catharine who bought the original farm of 200 acres in Turtle Creek in 1793.⁴⁴⁸

The Jacob HUBLER and John HUBLER connection

John HUBLER/Catherine of Turtle Creek, Buffalo Twp., Union Co, PA and Jacob HUBLER/Margaret of Potter or Haines Twp., Centre Co, PA were contemporaries, and they were possibly related. Jacob HUBLER/Margaret and John HUBLER/Catherine were probably the Jacob HUBLER and John HUBLER listed in the 1790 Northumberland Co, PA census (the township was not listed in the 1790 census).

1790 Northumberland Co, PA:

Jacob HUBLER--1 male > 16 years, 5 males < 16 years, 3 females

John HUBLER--1 male > 16 years, 1 male < 16 years, 3 females

1800 Northumberland Co, PA:

Jacob HUBLER--1 male > 45 years, 1 male < 10 years, 1 male 10-16 years,

1 male 16-26 years, 1 female > 45 years, 2 females < 10 years,

2 females 16-26

John HUBLER--1 male 20-26, 1 male < 10 years, 1 male 10-16 years,

1 female 16-26 years, 1 female < 10 years

The genealogical position of John Hubler is unclear. It might not affect my personal family history directly, but it might have implications that do impact my line. Thus, I will outline facts, as follows. There are several known John HUBLERs (and maybe some unknown ones) who are possible, and I will try to detail the known and surmise more.

• 
  John HUBLER, the son of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789)
  

Known:

Born about 1762, died after 1797

Lived most of his early life in Plainfield Twp, Northampton Co

He had an older brother named Jacob (whose family and vital statistics are

documented and do not match those of Jacob HUBLER/Catherine ?;

however, it is possible that he had other brothers who are not known)

He was in Plainfield Twp and single in 1786 (age 24) and 1788 (age 28)⁴⁴⁹

He was "non- resident" landowner in 1797 (age 35) in Plainfield Twp⁴⁵⁰

In 1789 his father died and willed him 20 shillings (a paltry amount—John would

have been 29 and may have been gone, self secure or on the outs with his

father). In 1795 his mother died and willed him 1 pound (the amount of

several other sons—John would have been 33 and was a non-resident land

owner.

Unknown:

Wife, marriage date, death date, occupation

• 
  John HUBLER, the son of Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777)
  

Known:

Born about 1762, died after 1777

Lived most of his early life in Lebanon-Lancaster Co

In 1785 he was in Hanover Twp. and sold some land (he would have been 23, and

received a sizable inheritance from his father who owned several hundred

acres in Lebanon Twp. He had an older brother named Jacob (who

probably was married to Margaret Harper and lived in Northumberland-

Centre Co—in 1785 in the same land sale referred to above, Jacob

HUBLER of Northumberland sold land to Nicholas Alberthal (Abraham's

son in law).

Unknown:

Wife, marriage date, death date, occupation

• 
  John HUBLER of Centre Co
  

Known:

Wife (Catherine ?—some postulate PAUL)

Born Nov. 9, 1762

Family well documented

Settled in about 1788-1790 and lived most of life (and died) in Centre-Union Co

Unknown:

Origin and relationship to other HUBLERs

John HUBLER/Catherine was the younger (b 1762 vs. b 1751), and it is written that he moved "with his brother" "from Northampton Co" [the only HUBLERs in that county at that time were the family members of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789)] to Northumberland Co (first to Centre Co and "after a few years" to Union Co) in about 1790. Several possibilities exist depending on the familial trees of Jacob HUBLER (b 1751) and John HUBLER (b 1762), as follows:

• 
  If Jacob and John HUBLER were brothers:
  
  1. 
     They could have been the sons of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) who immigrated in 1737. He had a son named John who was born about the right time (ca 1762-1765). [John HUBLER was a single resident of Plainfield Twp, Northampton Co in 1786 and 1788 and was a non-resident landowner of Northampton Co in 1797, which would be compatible with a 1790 appearance of John HUBLER in Centre Co.] He also had a son named Jacob HUBLER, Jr. (1742-1811); however, that Jacob could not be the Jacob HUBLER of Centre Co since his dates, children and life are clearly documented [Jacob HUBLER, Jr. (1742-1811) is my ancestor], but Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) of Northampton Co could have had another son named Jacob (e.g., George Jacob). [However, the full name as given in Twann for Jacob Hubler (1710-1789) was Hans Jacob HUBLER, so it is likely that Jacob HUBLER, Jr. (1742-1811) had the same first given name (Hans) and another son shared a second given name (Jacob) with both father and sibling but had a distinctive first given name. I do know that Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) had another son (living in 1770) who has not been identified.] The account that identified Jacob and John HUBLER as “brothers” also stated that they came from "Northampton" to the Centre Co area about 1790.
     
  2. 
     They could have been the sons of Abraham HUBLER of Lebanon, the immigrant of 1733. It is possible that John HUBLER (b 1762) joined his “brother” Jacob HUBLER/Margaret in Northampton Co when he returned in about 1785 [Jacob HUBLER/Margaret fled eastward during the Revolutionary War in 1778]. John HUBLER (b 1762) would have been 10 years old when Jacob HUBLER/Margaret first moved to Centre Co in 1772, but would have been 21 years old when they moved back to Centre Co in 1786. John HUBLER resided in Potter Twp, Northumberland Co in 1786; and 1787, he was on federal tax rolls as owning 50 acres and was not single [while John HUBLER, the son of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) of Plainfield, was single and living in Plainfield in 1786; but he was a non-resident of Northampton Co in 1788]. Supportive of the scenario is the fact that John HUBLER (b 1762) resided in an area in close proximity to Margaret Harper who married Jacob HUBLER (b 1751), and I have not seen anything about John or Jacob in Lancaster Co after 1785.
     
  3. 
     Two brothers could have immigrated in the 1760s or earlier. One researcher⁴⁵¹ found a family reference (on the back of a 190 newspaper clipping) to two brothers who immigrated in 1760 from Canton Schwytz, Switzerland; while another had information about HUBLERs from Germany who immigrated earlier (see above). It is possible that there were several related HUBLERs who immigrated between 1737 and 1790. Since Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) wrote to a friend in Twann in 1739, it is possible that the Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) who immigrated in 1743 was related. The proxy of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) in his efforts to get his Swiss inheritance was an innkeeper in Lancaster County, the same area that Abraham HUBLER (1716-1777) was located. Also, if two HUBLER brothers immigrated about 1762, they may have been related to Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789) of Northampton Co and could have stopped in Northampton Co before moving to the Centre Co area.
     
• 
  If they were NOT brothers:
  
  1. 
     It could be that John HUBLER (1762-1845) was the son of Jacob HUBLER (1710-1789); and he and his brother (maybe an another, unknown son of Jacob HUBLER or one of the known, single brothers) went to Centre Co; and then the unknown brother died or returned to Northampton Co. In support of that connection is (1) the written reference to John HUBLER (1762-1845) being from Northampton Co, (2) the similar age and non-resident status of John HUBLER of Northampton Co, (3) the fact that Abraham HUBLER (b ca 1779) who was the son of Jacob HUBLER, Jr. (1742-1811) moved to New Berlin, Northumberland Co close to his ? uncle, and (4) John HUBLER (1762-1845) bought land in Stark Co, Ohio and left it to his sons.
     
  2. 
     John HUBLER (1762-1845) was unrelated to any known HUBLER.
     
  3. 
     Any mixture of the above could prove true.
     

I think that we are missing a cohesive link. It is frustrating.

John HUBLER (1751-??) had a son, John S. HUBLER (Sept. 4, 1823-Nov. 26, 1892) who married Barbara Lehr (??-??). They were among the first settlers at Berry (near Gorden) and had a large farm. One of the sons of John S. HUBLER (1832-1892) was John S. HUBLER, Jr. married Amelia Jane Dillman in 1852. Their daughter, Emma M. HUBLER, had an illegitimate son, Ethan Allen HUBLER, in 1885 (he was raised by John S. and Amelia Jane HUBLER), and he subsequently married Louisa Harriet Rebecca and had 7 children including Arthur HUBLER (who was the grandfather of Verna who supplied this information).⁴⁷⁵
Other HUBLERs ?
There is an Adam HUBLER mentioned in a history of Northampton County as part of a survey team building a road at Windy Gap in 1779.⁴⁷⁶ This was the right time and place to be a son of Jacob HUBLER, or the Adam Hoobler described above, or the account (made in 1845) may have misspelled the name, and it was Abram HUBLER instead.

Jacob HUBLER (Feb 1751 Canton Schwytz, Switz-Jun 30, 1822 Centre Co, PA) is a mystery. He is listed in one immigration source as immigrating to PA in 1763 maybe with his younger brother John HUBLER. Marcia Wilson, Alan Albright and Jim Grady (on the Internet) have more information. I assumed that one or both were from PA (see above).

Hublerville wsa a small community in northeast PA in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. When the paper mills were built at Hublersville by the Koons brothers in about 1872, the name was changed to Huntington Mills. J. K. Hubler owned the store and mill for several years and the place bore his name. The post office was not established until some years after the name was changed to Huntington Mills.⁴⁷⁷
