  General Notes:

From The Delaware Gazette - May 27, 1886: In memoriam. Mrs. Rebecca Randolph Hubbell died at the home of her son-in-law Jackson Hipple, Esq., in the 87th year of her age. She was an early pioneer of Delaware Co., having immigrated to this county with her parents Mr. James and his wife Catharine FitzRandolph in the year 1818. The family settled on a farm in Peru Twp now in Morrow Co. The farm is still in the family, and is now owned and occupied by her grandson, Mr. Orville Westbrook. In the 23d year of her age she was married to Shadrack Hubbell, who died of small pox in the winter of 1851, at his home in Morrow Co. He had contracted the disease on a business trip to Chicago. By this marriage she had eight children, Bowen C., James R., Asa C., Hiram, Harriet, Catharine, Susan and Minerva, all of whom preceded her to the grave except James and Hiram, now a resident of Ross Co., and Mrs. Susan Hipple of this city with whom she had lived since the death of her daughter, Mrs. Westbrook in 1868. Her parents were of Quaker descent, but early in life and previous to her marriage she joined the Baptist Church.

Rebecca married Shadrach HUBBELL, son of Ephraim HUBBELL and Elizabeth COLLINS, on 15 Feb 1821 in Delaware Co., Ohio, United States. (Shadrach HUBBELL was born in Oct 1797 in New York and died in Dec 1851 in Morrow, Ohio.) The cause of his death was small pox.
