Name:
He learned the trade of blacksmith of his father, and after becoming of age, he worked at Wethersfield and also at Killingworth. At the age of 27, he received a proposition from settlers then planting the town of Middletown, to locate among them with his business, "and do the Town's work of smithing for seven years." He joined in such a contract, bearing date 25 oct. 1669, and which he faithfully kept. He m. 15 Dec., 1670, Mary Deming, da. of John and Honor (Treat) Deming of Wethersfield. She was b. 1655; joined church in Middletown 5 Sept. 1675. Mr. Hurlbut was industrious and successful in his occupation, and he became a large landholder, and one of the prominent men of the place. he was made freeman in 1671, and held the office and title of SARGENT among the citizen soldiers. Sargent John Hulbut d. at middle age; according to the Town records 30 April, 1690, but the Probate Court Records (prob. more reliable) his death occurred 30 August, of that year, aged 48. He made no will, but the inventory of his property was presented 9 Sept. 1690. Mary his widow with Capt. Nathaniel White, were appointed to administer; but as one child was yet unborn, the court ordered that "there shall be no distribution now made." Th estate appears as follows: L373, s.15, d.6; his house, shop and home lot L100, other lots L160, cattle &C, L46, smith's tools and iron L10. "June 19, 1696, the Court being desired," the estate was distributed. The wid. Mary was to have half the personal property, and one third of the real estate during life; eldest son John to have a double portion, the other children a single one. The time of death of the widow is not learned; but few gravestones had inscriptions as early, and no deaths appear to have been recorded on the church books, until after that perios.

John married Mary DEMING on 15 Dec 1670. Mary (daughter of John DEMING and Honour TREAT) was born about 1648; died after Aug 1690. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
