EZRA SHERMAN HUBBELL, the oldest hardware merchant in Thamesville, one of that city's most prominent business men, is descended from one of the eary settlers of the County of Kent. The first of the family of whom there is any authentic record was Prindle Hubbell, his great-grandfather, who was born in Conneticut, but migrated to Ontario and settled in Howard, County of Kent, at an early day. There he died in 1828. His children were Lucinda, Wheeler, Rufus, Lyman, Andrew, Sally, Abigail, Anna. and Polly (who married Mr. McDonald). All of this family resided in the County of Kent, and are now deceased.

Chatham Gleaner 28 March 1848
Died - On the morning of 20th ult. (after an illness of only a few hours), of inflamation of the brain, Nathan, son of Nathan Cornwall, Esq, of Thamesville. By the untimely decease of this young man, his family has been plunged into the deepest affliction; he being cut down in the bloom and vigor of youth, just as he was springing forth to the strength and vigor of manhood. He was an amiable and dutiful son, a kind and affectionate brother, and the loved companion of a large circle of sorrowing friends. But we counsel the afflicted family to mourn not, as those without hope, having a confident assurance that he has gone to the blissful land, where sorrow, pain and death are never know.
