Captain Christopher Hubbell was born in 1777 and died in 1853.   He was part of a large Hubbell clan farming in the Huntington / White Hills area.

Christopher had 3 children with Melissa Tucker (1792 - 1848), one of which was Charles Hubbell (1817 – 1878). Charles married Charlotte A. Shelton (1828 - 1902) in 1848 and they had three children, one of which was Warren Christopher (1860 –1937).

Warren was a farmer and married Annie S ( ? – 1955) and had a son, Sterling Beach Hubbell who died in 1975 at the age of 86.

Sterling built a house on the adjacent property (across Maple Ave.) when he married but Warren remained in this house. Sterling ran the farm, known as Wigwam Farm, for many years, bottling and delivering milk in town and raising Holstein-Friesian cows. Local history says that the property was once the site of the Hubbell Cider Distillery and there was a still across the street during Prohibition. 

Sterling’s son Richard (died 1998) was an airline pilot and did not continue the farm thus ending a long line of Hubbell farmers on White Hills.   The Hubbell genealogy is documented on http://www.oxfordpast.net/ . 

Many of the Hubbell’s, including Capt. Christopher are buried in the Lower White Hills Cemetery further down on Maple Avenue.

We believe Warren’s house was rented out for some time until it was sold by Sterling in 1971 with the barns and four acres of property. The new owners, the Pooles,  sold off two acres on the west of the property for development and in 1977 sold the house, barns and remaining acres to the Kekacs.  We purchased the property in September of 2010. Sterling’s house was destroyed in the 1970’s and the lot is currently empty.
