Individual Note: THE DAVIS HUBBARD FAMILY
by Walter Hubbard
Davis Hubbard was one of two known sons of Joseph and Elizabeth Hubbard {notes on Joseph Hubbard - click here
}. It is believed to have been born about 1785. His exact date of birth and place of birth has not yet been established. by this writer.Thru the help of another cousin, Walter C. Hubbard the following information has been proven and documented in the Family History.
Davis Hubbard was listed as a Private on the Company Muster Roll of Captain Thomas Dawson's Co.. of the Georgia Militia, State Troops under the command of Col. Thomas. It would appear that he enlisted about October 10, 1814 and was at Camp Jackson and enlisted for six (6) months. During this time he was paid $7.75 for 29 days service. The next date shown on the Muster Roll is dated December 14, 1814. Under the remarks column , it shows that he died November 9, 1814 . This is believed to be his correct date of death contrary to the below stated facts.
Davis Hubbard married Sarah Giles, a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Whatley) Giles Sr. about 1807 their first born child Martha, was born December 25, 1808. The Giles familly was in Wilkes County in 1790. Thomas Giles Sr.received a land grant of 200 acres. It is believed but not proven that this area of Wilkes County became a part of Greene County. Thomas Giles Sr. died prior to December 10, 1807. It was at that time, his son -in-law, Richard Whatley applied to the Greene County Ordinary Court for letters of administration. It is documented that two days later that William Giles,Mary Giles,Thomas Giles and John Giles appeared in court, for reasons they made known to the court. During the July term 1808, Mrs. Giles came into the court and chose a third of the land and a childs part of the other property of Thomas Giles, deceased .Then in May of 1809, Richard Whatley and John Giles were ordered by the Court of Ordinary to settle with the Court and renew their securities as the present security, Davis Hubbard , had signified his wish to be exonerated from his securityship.
Davis Hubbard is reported to have died in Greene County Georgia on March 15, 1815 . The Georgia Journal newspaper the following notice in the August 4, 1818 issue.
Greene County Ordinary Court, July term 1818. On the petition of Sally (Sarah) Hubbard , Adm'x of Davis Hubbard deceased, praying to be dismissed from her estate from which she administered.
In the Cctober 13, 1818 issue of the Georgia Journal the following is found.
On the first Tuesday in December nest will be sold at the Courthouse in Greensborough, 100 acres of land..... on Richland Creek... sold for the benefit of Davis Hubbard , deceased...signed Amasa Palmer, Adm'r ,Sarah Hubbard ,Adm'x.
It appears that Sarah made every effort to settle her deceased husband's estate prior to her move to Alabama Territory. Sarah made the move with her family rather than be left behind in Georgia Regardless of her motivation , Sarah was a resident of Bibb County Alabama by September 28, 1819 when she married, Isaac Gentry.
The following year, Isaac Gentry apeared in Bibb County Orphan's Court requesting that he be appointed guardian of Sarah's five children. The Court entries resulting in his request give the impressions of a man who was honest and a competent manager. Each year, Isaac was required to report to the Orphan's Court to account for the Hubbard children's estate . Most years, Isaac made his report , but claimed no expenses for their support. The final report seems to have been filed in 1832 , at which time it was agreed that Isaac would not charge the two youngest children Asmus or William for interest that may have accured upon said estate, since it came into his hands. At that time , Isaac turned over $60.00 to each of the young men.
Sarah had a total of ten known children, five of these children were from her first marriage , and five by her marriage to Isaac Gentry. These children grew up, married and raised their families in Bibb County. They intermarried with other pioneer families forming a complex web of relationships.

THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER III FIRST SETTLEMENT
However, not all early settlers were from Pennsylvania; in 1741 John Pigg, of Amelia County, entered for "400 acres on the north side of the south fork of Staunton River, beginning opposite the mouth of Snow Creek." The south fork of Staunton River had not been named at this time and took its name from John Pigg, becoming Pigg River; Snow Creek, a tributary of Pigg River had already received its name. At this same time David, William and Thomas Caldwell, of the "Caldwell Settlement," Will Rogers and Adam McCoule made entries for land on Snow Creek.
Caldwell Settlement came from Pennsylvania.
John Pigg who around 1741 surveyed "400 acres on the north side of the south fork of Staunton River beginning opposite the mouth of Snow Creek." (The Staunton is now usually referred to as the Roanoke River.) Pigg's father, originally from Goochland County, lived in Amelia. Son John rambled west to what is now Franklin County, but was still part of Brunswick County at the time of the river area survey. In 1746 it became Lunenburg. As the counties grew westward and new counties were created from them, the Pigg River was in the counties of Lunenburg and then Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, and finally Franklin. Other regional creeks, some of which still retain their descriptive, original names, are Soak Arse Creek, Maggotty Creek, Frying Pan Creek, Buffalo Creek, Shooting Creek, Foul Ground Creek, as well as some names best not reprinted Evocative Pigg is actually a pretty good name.
Footnote John Pigg was the son of Paul Pigg of Amelia County, who moved to Pittsylvania when a very old man, and whose will is the first on record in the Clerk's Office. John Pigg was an early settler and Pigg River was named for him. He married Anne Clement and his will was proven February 1785, in which he bequeathed to his only son Hezekiah Ford Pigg the mill tract, his two guns, rifle and silver buckles.

CHAPTER IX EARLY CHURCHES IN PITTSYLVANIA THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND
In 1767 Pittsylvania County and Camden Parish were organized and at the first meeting of the vestry, held June 21, 1767, at the courthouse, there were present the following vestrymen, "who subscribed in Vestry to be conformable to the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England as by Law Established: John Donelson, John Pigg, Hugh Innes, George Rowland, Crispen Shelton, John Wilson, Peter Perkins, Abram Shelton, Theophilus Lacy, Robert Chandler, and William Witchef." Benjamin Lankford was appointed clerk and Abram Shelton and George Rowland church wardens. No other business was recorded in the minutes of this meeting but from the levy laid six months later we learn that the work of the parish as organized while a part of Antrim.
THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER IX EARLY CHURCHES IN PITTSYLVANIA THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND
page 121 [p.121] Mr. Stevenson was succeeded in 1771 by the Rev. Lewis Guilliam, a native Scotchman whose unsavory conduct brought shame upon both himself and his calling. In the records of the court are many petty law suits in which he figures and in which he was invariably the loser. As no home had been provided for the minister of the parish, Mr. Guilliam was boarded in the home of Mr. John Pigg at a charge of 340 lbs. of tobacco a month, which was paid in addition to his salary of 16,000 pounds of tobacco. Two years later the vestry purchased land for a glebe for the parish of Richard Chamberlayne of New Kent, through his attorney John Pigg, buying 588 acres for 180 pounds current money. This land lay near the Sandy River Meeting House and the building of the glebe dwelling house and out buildings was begun at once.
John Pigg prospered. John Pigg was a vestryman of Camden Parish of the Church of England, in whose parish was the Old Chapel Church near Snow Creek, whose building still stands, and has been used by the Primitive Baptist Church pretty much since the Church of England fell out of favor, one might say, after the Revolutionary War. Dangling his bestockinged legs in the warm water of his river, perhaps fishing for his dinner, or admiring Chestnut Mountain, this frontier gentleman should have stuck with surveying the water or fishing it.
His history in this area is rather dashing, a frontier gentleman of means (like his countrymen of that time, he owned slaves, 5 according to the records, a large number for his era), he was a landowner of some note. His ways with water not only got a river named for him, but also got Pigg into hot water, one might say, during the Revolutionary War times. He is infamous, really, as the namesake of the Ramble's river, and for boiling and sipping a contraband delicacy. (No, not moonshine ) He liked to drink tea. He was a tea-drinking Anglican. He became a captain of the Pittsylvania Militia in the 1760s but then dropped from the public records. And in 1776 "was summoned before the Committee of Safety for Pittsylvania to explain his 'drinking and making use of in his family the detestable East Indian tea. Pigg refused, saying he would 'do as he pleased' whereupon the Virginia Gazette carried his name as one 'inimical to the cause.' Tea-drinking was almost treason in those hot-headed early years of the Revolution; the inference must be made that Pigg was a Tory. This would explain his absence from civic records after the beginning of the war. The inventory of Pigg's estate mentions 'Books,' a relatively rare and indicative circumstance in pre-Revolutionary Virginia."
A bookish Tory who drank tea and surveyed lands along this river, "Pigg" might have been synonymous at one time for daring, difficult, and different. But "Pigg" today is coming to mean "Ramble" The Pigg's colonial history lurks beneath the surface and along the banks, though. Old colonial fords, antique detritius (iron relics) from old iron furnaces along the Pigg, and a flotilla of bobbling rubber duckies racing for a finish line before the start of the real Ramble, characterize some of the sights for people-paddlers floatin' to the finish line. This is iron country-(ferrum in Latin; ferrous, farrier, fer-de-lance), Ferrum, Rocky Mount's Old Iron Furnace, Furnace Creek, Ironto, Iron Gate, iron-rich red clay--- you get it Just don't crash your canoe into some Pigg-iron.
Waters In the 18th century there was Pigg and his cherished hot tea; in the intervening centuries lots of homemade illicit spirits flowed notoriously and profitably in this county, and in the 21st century the new Blueways sparkle and attract visitors for recreation. Kingfishers, mallards, deer, great blue herons, SUVs, mosquitos, tailgaters with fried chicken and sweet tea, and decorative toddlers dot the clay banks and rock cliffs in June. It is a fun-attitude kind of event, where the sportsmen, some as young as 3, rookie floaters and pros together, tackle the water. Allen Dudley, a floater and capsized-boat-helper at the Ledge, in addition to being a local banker and member of the House of Delegates in Richmond, quipped on camera that the Pigg was becoming kind of famous now, and maybe should have its name lengthened to something like the "Pigginippi," to hold its own with bigger, more famous rivers. But plain old "Pigg" it will be.
THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER X PRE-REVOLUTIONARY DAYS
On account of the tax that had been laid on tea, the drinking of tea was banned, to partake of the beverage was considered a virtual act of treason. Captain John Pigg, a vestryman and captain of the local militia, was reported to the committee as one who had violated the Association "by drinking and making use of in his family the detestable East Indian tea." When summoned to appear before the Committee in May 1776, Captain Pigg boldly refused, considering it an impertinent interference in his family affairs and replied that, "he would do as he pleased." In their righteous indignation the Committee at once published him in the Gazette as being "inimical to the cause."
Footnote John Pigg was the son of Paul Pigg of Amelia County, who moved to Pittsylvania when a very old man, and whose will is the first on record in the Clerk's Office. John Pigg was an early settler and Pigg River was named for him. He married Anne Clement and his will was proven February 1785, in which he bequeathed to his only son Hezekiah Ford Pigg the mill tract, his two guns, rifle and silver buckles.
"Virginia Colonial Abstracts: by Beverley Fleet
"The Horrid Behavior of John Pigg, Esq. Virginia Gazette, 7 July 1775. "At a committee held at Pittsylvania courthouse on Wednesday the 22rd of February 1775. A complaint being made to this committee that a certain John Pigg had violated the association, by drinking, and making use of in his family, the detestabel EAST INDIA TEA, also that he the said Pigg had taken uncommon pains in order to defeat the intention of the said association, by exclaiming against the meaures adopted by the General Congress upon which the said Pigg wa summonded to appear before the said committee to answer the said charge which he absolutely refused to do.... that the said Pigg ought to be looked upon as a traitor to his Country, and inimical to American Liberty..."

At an advanced age he decided to establish himself nearer the Blue Ridge. He settled in Halifax County which became Pittsylvania County about the year he died, but he had lived here about 10 years. This was the county where the Pigg and Adams families neighbored and intermarried.
Apparently lived for at least 15 years in Caroline County, though the first 9 years he was in King William, and after 1723 his residence would have been in Caroline, as Caroline was created in 1728. In 1734 he sold his Caroline lands to Head Lynch. Having disposed of his Caroline property, on the 1st of August, 1734, he purchased 400 acres in Prince Geroge County, lying on the south side of Appomattox River, and moved to Southside Virginia. (Tract
later became part of Amelia County) Also bought land in 1737 on south side of Goochland County.
He moved to Anham Parish, Halifax County, in 1756 and lived there for 10 years. This later became Pittsylvania County. His land lay on Great Cherrystone Creek and Banister River,near the present county seat town of Chatham. In 1762 he received a 40 Shilling Bill at Halifaxd Court. His name was among the Halifax Voters for the House of Burgesses in 1764. Drew
his will in 1766, and probably died within a year.
