JOSEPH H. HUBBARD was born June 23, 1846, in Green County, Ky. He is the 
first of five boys and four girls born to William C. and Amanda C. 
(Dowell) Hubbard. William C. Hubbard was born in Bedford County, Va., 
came to Kentucky about 1830 with his parents and settled in Green 
County. His father was Joseph Hubbard, who was born and reared in 
Virginia; maried Julia Lephridge, of that State, and was a soldier in 
the war of 1812. Mrs. Amanda C. Hubbard was born in Green County, Ky., 
and is a daughter of Harrison and Nancy (Hall) Dowell, who were born and 
reared in Virginia and came to Green County, Ky., about 1824. Harrison 
Dowell was an extensive farmer and slave owner, a soldier in the war of 
1812 and was of Irish descent.  Joseph H. was reared on a farm and began 
life for himself at the age of twenty.  He married, December 19, 1867, 
America Jane Harris, of Barren County (now Metcalfe), a daughter of 
James M. and Nancy (Robinson) Harris, who were born in Virginia. James 
H. Harrison was a son of William Harris, who was born and reared in 
Virginia, and came to Barren County with his parents about 1815.  He was 
a soldier in the war of 1812.  To Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were born seven 
children, five living:  James W., Martha F., Mary A., Joseph A. and 
Cynthia Cleveland.  In 1869 Mr. Hubbard located where he now resides on 
fifty acres; now owns 108 acres, also one-fourth interest (sixty-nine 
acres) of his father's estate, and has acquired his property solely by 
his own industry; he sold 150 acres.  At one time Mr Hubbard taught 
singing school.  He is a Mason, formerly a Granger, and was orderly of 
home guards during the late war.  In 1870 he was elected justice, which 
office he has held constantly since.  He is a Democrat and cast his 
first presidential vote for Seymour in 1868.
