Biographical book entry

FromGenealogical and family history of central New York, 1912.

(VI) Timothy (3), son of Timothy (2) Hulbert, was born in Pittsfield, October 2, 1789. About 1810 he removed to Truxton, New York, where he lived until his death, May 20, 1848. He was a carpenter and joiner by trade, and did a wonderful amount of business. Much of his handiwork in those lines has remained until today as a witness of his careful workmanship and honest efforts. He became the owner of a large farm and attained prominence and high standing in his community. During his younger years he organized a military company, of which he was made captain. His commission, dated April 8, 1822, was signed by Governor DeWitt Clinton, and his company was assigned to the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Regiment, state militia. In politics he was a Democrat of an uncompromising type, and an ardent supporter of his party at all times. He represented his town on the board of supervisors for years, and was once a candidate for the nomination of member of assembly. In religion he was a Methodist, and trustee of the local society. He married, February 1, 1817, Mehitabel Miner, of West Bloomfield, New York, born July 20, 1797. He had six sons, all of whom were in the produce business; two located in New York City, where they were large produce dealers and exporters, and the other four scattered throughout the state, buying and raising produce.
