Husband of Sarepta Stone Hubbard. Please note: headstone is spelled Hubbord.

Exerpt from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Whiteside County Illiniois" 1883:
Solomon Hubbard, a pioneer of Whiteside County, wither he came in 1838, was born July 19, 1804, in Sangersfield, Oneida Co. NY. His parents were named Abel and Lila (Andrews) Hubbard, and he was under their care and authority until he reached his majority. In 1825 he went to Sweden, Monroe Co., NY where he was married Aug. 31 1826, to Sarepta Stone, daughter of William Stone and Elizabeth Branch Stone. He purchased a farm in Sweden Township which he conducted until his removal, in 1830, to Ohio. He there bought a farm in the township of York in Medina County, on which he prosecuted his agricultural interests until 1838. He sold out in the Spring of that year, and after settling his family comfortably he started for Illinois on foot. He walked all the way to Whiteside County, where his brother E.A. Hubbard had made a claim for him. He put in a crop on the farm of his brother and in July went back to Ohio. He started for Illinois with his family and household goods, traveling by canal and the lakes to Chicago, where he left his family and walked to Whiteside County. He obtained three yokes of oxen and two wagons, and went back to Chicago for his family. He occupied the claim of his brother until 1845, and meanwhile improved his own, which was located on the northeast quarter of section 18, Lyndon Township. In the year last mentioned he removed to his farm.

Fours sons of Mr. and Mrs Hubbard responded to the call of the Nation in its hour of danger from foes of its own household: Chauncy B., Orson K., William and George H.
