"Dana Hubbard, whose name will ever fill a conspicuous place in the history of the city of Wheeling, was the founder of his family in this region, coming here when the difficulties which confronted him resembled those which were encountered by the founder of his family in America nearly 200 years before. The ancestor just referred to,
was William Hubbard, a native of England, who left his mother country and came to Plymouth, Mass., in 1630. He subsequently settled at Ipswich, Mass., which town he represented, in the general court six years between 1638 and 1646, and from there he afterward removed to Boston. His eldest son, the Rev. William Hubbard, nine years old at
the immigration, received from Harvard college, then in its infancy, the degree of A. B. at the age of twenty-one. He became a minister at Ipswich, was the author of a history of the Indian wars, published in 1677, and a "History of New England," published in 1682, the original manuscript of which is now in the archives of state of Massachusetts. In 1688 he was appointed by Sir Edward Andros to officiate as president of Harvard college, and to conduct the commencement exercises of that year. He was married to Margaret Rogers, the great-grand-daughter of Rev. John Rogers, of Smithfield fame, and their son, John Hubbard, was the father of Rev. John Hubbard, of Meriden, Conn., whose son, another John Hubbard, a major-general of militia of Connecticut, was the father of Dana Hubbard, who was born near New Haven, Conn., August l7, 1789. On October 16, 1811, Dana Hubbard was married to Asenath Dorman, a lady of earnest and devoted character and tender, Christian graces, who was born at Hamden, Conn., December 9, 1789. When their son, Chester, was six months old, Dana Hubbard and wife sought new opportunities in what was then the "west." The husband proceeded to Pittsburgh in March,
1815, and his wife followed in May, by ship, and by stage across the mountains, and in April, 1819, they came down the Ohio river on a flat-boat, which was anchored in Wheeling creek and used for a home for the family, while the father built a log cabin. Mr. Hubbard soon became a pioneer in establishing manufacturing industries, and built
in 1827 the first saw-mill, also the first grist-mill in Wheeling, and established the first steam saw-mill in western Virginia. He dealt in lumber also and ran a sash factory in connection with his mill. His last days were passed on a farm in Ohio county, where he died October 16, 1852. His wife survived him over a quarter of a century, dying April 23, 1878. In the same year that they came to
Wheeling they joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which they were devoted members. Five children were born to them: Chester D., who was born November 25, 18l4; Henry B., born October 23, 1816, died September 17, 1888; William Dana, born September 11, 1818, died June, 12, 1834; John Rogers, born November 8, 1825, died August 18, 1879; Martha R., born November 9, 1829, died August 4, 1832."
