Individual Details
Joshua Hobart
(9 October 1614 - 28 July 1682)
Joshua was the son of Edmund Hobart and Margaret Dewey. Joshua's father first married Margaret Dewey in Hingham, Norfolk, England and they emigrated with their children Edmund, Thomas, Alice, Rebecca, Joshua, and Sarah in 1633, perhaps on the "Elizabeth Bonaventure." It is not certain that Margaret made the trip; it is possible that she died in England prior to the migration of the family. The family settled in Hingham, Massachusetts.
Joshua was prominent in the local affairs of Hingham. He was admitted as freeman 3 September 1634 and served as selectman in 1662, 1670, 1671, 1673, 1674, 1675, 1680, and 1681. He was a Captain in command of a company in King Phillip's War and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1641. He was the deputy to the General Court 1643, and subsequently at different times for 24 years. He was speaker of the House of Deputies in 1674. He resided on Main Street in Hingham just east of the First Parish meeting house.
