Richard was an Ensign of the Stratfield company Oct. 1709, Lieutenant May 1714; Deputy for Faifield May 1713 and Oct. 1715, May and Oct. 1716 and Oct. 1717. In March 1723 he, Benjamin Fairweather and Robert Silliman held land which later became the southern portion of Kent , Conn. The History says that Richard Hubbell was a wealthy planter and held many offices of trust. His will and the inventory of his estate bear out that he was indeed an affluent man of his time. Descendants will wish to consult a splendid little volume of Lucy Curtis entitled "Two Hundred Fifty Years" which gives many interesting insights into the participation in the early Congregational Church by Richard Hubbell jr. He was the donor of a silver communion mentioned in his will. This tankard is still used at communion, Mrs. Curtis informed Harold B. Hubbell jr. in 1961. It was made by Peter Van Dyck a silversmith of New York (1684-1750) and bears the inscription: "Laft Richd Hubbell's Gift to the Church of Christ in Stratfield AD 1738". On the walls of the church sanctuary (The United Congregational Church, 877 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, Ct.) is a plaque bearing the names of Richard Hubbell -jr. and sr.- and seven other Puritans, founders of that church. Other events mentioned by Mrs. Curtis include a note that in 1715 Richard Hubbell was a committee member which advised on the erection of a building upon a different site, to replace the original meeting house which stood on a little hill known for a long ime as "Meeting House Hill" at Park Avenue and Worth Street. The new location also was not far from the old Pequonnock burying ground which was used for all Stratfield burials until1812. Many of the earliest Hubbells lie there; Richard Jr. probably does also but there is no stone marker now; however, the Royce list of 1800 [ref G] does not give his name which suggests burial elsewhere.
