Jacobus "James" was the 5th child of 9 children born to Charles Hubbs and Jane Nagle. He married Mary Blatchley on 13 Feb 1764 at Huntington, Suffolk Cty, New York. They had 10 children: Hannah, Jane, Daniel,Rebecca,Stephen Brown, Mary, Sarah, Ira, Charles and Alexander.He served as 1st Corp. in Capt. Platt's Company under the command of Josiah Smith,Suffolk County Militia, First Regiment of Minutemen during the American Revolutionary War. Methodism in Winne-Commac began in 1783 when a society was formed after a sermon preached by John Phillips, a Methodist local preacher and a tailor in the British army during the American Revolutionary War. James Hubbs had heard him in Cow Harbor (now Northport) and invited him to preach in his home. The first conference preacher, Philip Cox, was appointed to Newtown and Comac the following year, holding services in homes, mainly the Hubbs home, with a total of two dozen members, half of them Negro slaves.The Comac Society was the second to be formed on Long Island, preceded only by Newton in 1768. However, the historic building we now call our 1789 Chapel, has the distinction of being the oldest Methodist Church in continuous use in New York in which people still worship in the original building, with but few alterations. For it was in 1789 during the pastorate of William Phoebus that James Hubbs and the community erected " a neat substantial and commodious house of worship."In 1964 the 175th anniversary of the building was celebrated with a series of special Sunday sevices from September 20- October 11, with guest speakers. A gala dinner was held at the Huntington Town House. Mortgage was paid in full on the Religious Education building, and a vote was taken to purchase land for a new Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall. The new sanctuary was dedicated in 1968, and the older building became known as the "1789 Chapel." In 1985 the Commack Methodist Church and Cemetery located at 486 Townline Rd. was added to The National Register of Historical Places.
