Info I have found on Hugh Hubbard:
Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Volumes I-IIIPage 1238
Alfred Huntington Burnham
Hugh Hubbard, father of Lydia (Hubbard) Burroughs, (who was born at New London, Connecticut, February 7, 1675-76) came from Derbyshire, England, and was one of the later arrivals at New London, making his appearance there in 1670. He married, March, 1672-73, Jane, daughter of Cary Latham, of New London, who had come there from Boston, with the first settlers, and was one of the foremost men of the Colony until his death in 1685; was one of the "townsmen" or selectmen for sixteen years, six times a delegate to the General Court, 1664 to 1670, and one of the largest landowners in the settlement. The wife of Cary Latham was a daughter of John Masters, and widow of Edward Lockwood. Their eldest child, Thomas Latham, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1639. Hugh Hubbard died in New London, and his widow Jane married (second) John Williams in 1685 or 1686, and lived to an advanced age. Her second husband succeeded to the ferry kept for many years by her father, Cary Latham, from Groton to New London. Jane (Latham) Hubbard-Williams died May 3, 1739, at the age of ninety-one years.
