General Notes: Wife - Rebecca Crispin


Though not a birthright member of the Society of Friends, she joined that sect and became an acknowledged minister of the Society. Some time after her death there was published in Philadelphia, "A Memoir of Rebecca Hubbs, A Minister of the Gospel of the Society of Friends, late of Woodstown, New Jersey," composed largely from her own memoranda and journals of her religious journeys.
She married Charles Hubbs, of Burlington, and they went to live at Pilesgrove township, Salem County, New Jersey, where both she and her husband applied for membership in the Society of Friends and were admitted to the Monthly Meeting there. Her first appearance in the ministry was about 1803-04, in the thirty-second year of her age. In 1806 they removed within the limits of Haddonfield Meeting, by which she was acknowledged as a minister in Fourth Month, 1807. She returned with her husband and children to Woodstown in 1811. In 1813 she obtained a certificate to perform a religious visit to some of the meetings within Baltimore and Virginia Yearly Meetings, and in the state of Ohio. After visiting some of the Meetings in Virginia, way was made, through the kindness of Micajah Crew, of Cedar Creek Meeting, in that state, to visit in person James Madison, then President of the United States; President Madison's wife, Dolly Payne, had been brought up a Quaker. The President and his wife received them very kindly and they had a satisfactory opportunity with them, and parted with many tokens of affectionate regard. The President insisted on serving them with some refreshments, and following them to the carriage, placed in it some articles which he thought would be useful to them in their journey, and after a renewed expression of the satisfaction the visit had given him, took leave of them again, desiring a blessing might attend them.
In 1814 she made a religious visit to some of the Meetings in the state of Ohio, particularly within Miami and Salem Quarters. When the Separation of the Society of Friends occurred in 1827, Rebecca (Crispin) Hubbs remained with the older or Orthodox branch. From this time on she made many journeys and visits in the cause of the Gospel. After the last (1844), advancing age and bodily infirmity prevented such active service, and about two years before her death she had an attack of paralysis, but meanwhile performed much acceptable service within her own Quarterly Meeting.
