"Author, scientist, educator and distinguished promoter of the sugar industry of the world."
Dr. William Carter Stubbs was a native of Gloucester County, Virginia. The son of Jefferson W. Stubbs and his wife, Ann Walker Carter Baytop.
During the War Between the States he served in the Confederate States Army in Company D, 24th Virginia Cavalry, Fitzhugh Lee's Division and late in the war under J.E.B. Stuart's Corps. Dr. Stubbs was a member of Camp #9 of the United Confederate Veterans in New Orleans, Louisiana.
William Carter Stubbs, after preliminary studies, entered William and Mary College, and later attended Randolph-Macon, and the University of Virginia, where he specialized in chemistry and allied branches. He held three degrees, Ph.D., M.A., and B.A. from these institutions. In 1869 he removed to Alabama as professor of Chemistry in the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Auburn, where he remained for sixteen years.
He married, in 1875, Miss. Elizabeth Saunders Blair of Courtland, Alabama. They did not have children. Elizabeth Saunders Blair was the daughter of Henry Dickenson Blair and Mary Louisa Saunders, her parents dying when she was a young girl she was raised by her loving grandparents, Col. James E. and Mary Watkins Saunders.
In 1885, Dr. Stubbs became the State Chemist of Louisiana and the Director of the three Experiment Stations.
Louisiana Sugar Planters Association (LSPA) sponsored the establishment of the state's first agricultural experiment station at Kenner, La. as guided by agricultural and processing problems in the Louisiana sugar industry, and station staff frequently presented papers at the LSPA's monthly meetings. Following its move to Audubon Park in New Orleans in 1890, the Sugar Experiment Station was briefly at the forefront of research in sugar chemistry nationally and internationally. The first specialized school in the world for training experts for the cane sugar industry was founded at the Audubon Park station in 1891, with the station staff serving as the faculty. The Audubon Sugar School offered a two-year curriculum in agriculture, chemistry, and mechanical engineering that included both classroom and practical work. Financial difficulties forced the school to close in 1896, but its curriculum was incorporated into a degree program at LSU beginning in 1897.
Dr. William Carter Stubbs published numerous books and articles, including the Cultivation of Sugar Cane (published in 1901). Stubbs Hall at LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is named after him.
Dr. William Carter Stubbs was also a genealogist having written several genealogy books including:
"The Descendants of John Stubbs of Cappahosic, Gloucester Co., VA 1652". published 1902.
"Descendants of Mordecai Cooke of "Mordecai's Mount" Gloucester Co., Va., 1650 and Thomas Booth of Ware Neck, Gloucester Co., Va., 1685". originally published in 1895. Corrections and additions made and republished in 1923.
"A history of two Virginia families transplanted from Kent, England : Thomas Baytop, Tenterden 1638 and John Catlett, Sittingbourne 1622". published 1918.
