One account has Hubbard apparently dying shortly after marrying Sidney Welch ca. 1845(his brother married her sister Diannah).It was not unheard of in those days for people to move a county or two away and start over, particularly among Cherokees and others of native American descent.The memories of the removal were fresh and domestic matters were unlikely to be settled in court.People sometimes just disappeared and were presumed dead.There is some evidence that the same thing happened with James D. Cook who married Louvica Carnes.
