If you have read the fascinating book about John “Juan” Lorenzo Hubbell, Indian Trader: the Life & Times of J. L. Hubbell by Martha Blue, you will recall that he was married to Lina Rubi.  We met Ms. Blue at the 2005 THFHS reunion in Albuquerque when we visited the Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, Arizona. http://www.nps.gov/hutr/index.htm. 

Rubi descendant Linda Rubi-Crumm has directed an informative and well-maintained web site for her associated families for several years  http://rubifamilygen.com/ and has included a “Hubbell Connection” page there that provides additional information about J.L. and his family. The page featuring the Rubi and Hubbell families in Pajarito, New Mexico Territory and other Arizona Territory towns  is not only attractive but informative  http://rubifamilygen.com/?page_id=39 .

Further information about the Hubbell-Rubi connection can be found in one of the books published by The Hubbell Family Historical Society, Additions & Revisions to History & Genealogy of the Hubbell Family by Harold Berresford Hubbell, Jr. and Roscoe Leroy Hubble, available through this web site.
