Hubert was a direct descendant of Gabriel Gibaut dit Poitevin, and his wife "King's Daughter" Susan Durand. They were some of the first French settlers in Canada.
He was also related to Father Pierre Gibault (fourth cousins), the Jesuit Missionary that came to Illinois in the late 1700's, and helped the Americans peacefully take Illinois during the Revolution, as the Americans promised freedom to practice Roman Catholicism, since Quebec was governed by Protest England at the time. Vincennes, Indiana had a statue built to honor Father Gibault, as well as a new hospital wing named after him.
Hubert was a pioneer settler of Momence, Kankakee County, IL. He was a carriage maker. He built a "cabin camp" just outside of Momence that his family and friends stayed at in the summers. The first cabin they built was named Casa Loma, but they built many others after that.
Children were (left to right) Fred, Everett, Hermeline, Ludge Eugene, and Samuel.
