"Officer slain in 1886 gets his due" by John Craig – staff writer:
"At the time, officials thought Hubbard's first name was Edward – although he went by John or Jack – but Salem, Ore., genealogist Clara Hubbard Foster recognized him as her second cousin, once removed."
"Foster's and Victor's research indicates Hubbard was one of eight children of Charles and Margaret Hubbard, a couple who came West in 1847 and settled in Oregon's Willamette Valley."
