Life

He was the son of Mathew Hubbell (c. 1762–1819), a farmer who in 1789 left Berkshire County, Massachusetts and settled on a farm then in Herkimer County, New York, in the area where now the City of Utica is located.

In June 1826, he married Laura Eliza Squire (d. 1877), and they had several children. In 1829, he became a merchant, and retired from business in 1855. He was a colonel of the State Militia.

He entered politics as a Whig, was Chief Engineer of the Utica Fire Department for about ten years, and an alderman from 1840 to 1842.

He was a delegate to the 1856 Republican National Convention, and was Mayor of Utica from 1856 to 1858.

He was a member of the New York State Senate (19th D.) in 1858 and 1859.
