Emigration: May 19, 1633, from Hingham, England to Mass.
This English surname may have been derived from the Norman word'Houbart,' or possibly from the Anglo-Saxon word hygerbearth, meaning bright or hiewe, signifying color and beauty. Most probably it is from a baptismal form resulting from the son of Hubert. During the visitations of Essex it was set down as: Huberd, Hubart Hubbert and Hubbard. The name appears recorded as far back as 1260, in land records at Norfolkshire, England. Seventeen-Century immigrants to New England generally spelled it as Hobart.
Early in May 1633, Edmond Hobart, with part of his large family,boarded the ship "Elizabeth Bonaventure" and sailed from Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, commanded by John Graves, Master. They arrived at Boston Harbor on June 15, 1633 and took up residence at Charlestown. Many of the ninety-five passengers were from the parish of Hingham, including Edmond Hobart, his wife Margaret and six children. His son, the Reverend Peter Hobart, sailed with his family in 1635 and reunited with Edmond at Charlestown.
Edmond Hobart, being of the advanced age of sixty years, must havebeen heavily influenced on a large part by religious motives, to make him undertake this long journey into a still somewhat wilderness. What other reason than the Puritan movement of this time, could cause such a grand exodus from a small parish as Hingham, loosing thirty-five full families. Mr. Banks, in his 'Planter of the Commonwealth' say's; "It is difficult to account for this wholesale hegira from one little place unless the movement began under the leadership of Edmond Hobart in 1633, who preceded by two years his son, the Reverend Peter Hobart, who became the pastor of the first church in our Hingham."
Soon after his second marriage in 1635 at Charlestown, Edmond removedto a place called "Bare Cove," near Boston. Here, with his son Peter and other close associates, formed the new settlement called Hingham, named from their home in England. Edmond held several offices here and became a leader in the various town affairs. His son Peter formed the Hingham Congregational Church and served as its pastor for forty years.
On June 5, 1638 "Edmond Hubberd, Senior, was fined 40 shillings forleaving a pit open, in which a child was drowned." On September 6, 1638, during the general amnesty, 30 shillings of his fine was remitted. Thomas Hammond sued Edmond in the fall of 1639 for trespass "in his Indian corn since planting time till now to the value of 50 shillings, in his corn ground at Hingham."
