ELIAS HUBBARD, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Guilford County,
N. C., October 23, 1813, and is a son of George and Nancy (Shield) Hub-
bard, natives respectively of Virginia and Maryland.  The paternal grand-
father of our subject was a Revolutionary soldier.  George Hubbard was
a soldier in the war of 1812, and by occupation a farmer.  In 1822, he 
moved to Wayne County, Ind., purchasing eighty acres, and entering
eighty of timber, on which he made a good home for his family and en-
dured the privations of a pioneer.  He died in 1867, aged eighty-one, and
his wife one year later, at the same age.  They were upright and honored
people.  Elias Hubbard was reared a farmer, and in 1828 moved to this
county, and after a time began life in earnest.  October 18, 1839, he 
married Miss Margaret J. Gray, a native of Indiana, whose parents were
pioneers of Clarke County.  To this union were bestowed, of whom sur-
vive, Mary J., Marilda, Malinda, Margaret, Abigail, David W., Mahala
and Anna.  In 1846, Mr. Hubbard purchased forty acres of his present
home, and after many sturggles and hardships has succeeded in making
a comfortable property.  He is a stanch Republican, and he and wife
are members of the Christian Church.
