Hubbard Barton (Maker)
1797-1860
Hubbard Barton (1797-1860)
Possibly the W B and/or H B maker's mark on petal bells.
Hubbard, one of William Barton's sons, took over the bell business started by his father in East Hampton, Connecticut. He may possibly have made bells with the W B mark, even after his father retired, since William Barton's master mold patterns would have lasted for many years with good care.
Hubbard married Deborah G. Clark in 1821, and they had 12 children.
