Thomas Chubbuck Jr. House Hingham (Plymouth County) Masachusetts STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The 1778 Thomas Chubbuck, Jx.
House possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship; feeling and association and meets National Register Criterion C.. The Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. House is significant on the local level. Local History The Thomas Chubbuck, Jx. House, located in the historic Liberty Plain area of Hingham, is associated with two of Hingham's oldest families, the Chubbucks and the Gardners. The period of significance runs from 1778 when the house was built until 1900 when the Gardner family ownership ceased. Thomas Chubbuck, Jx. (1757-1787), a dedicated soldier of the Revolution, acquired the land for 1191 Main Street from his father, farmer Thomas Chubbuck (1732/33-1802), in 1778 and built his house the same year. He was a descendant of the first Thomas Chubbuck (d. 1676) a large Hingham land owner and one of the first planters to arrive in Hingham in 1634.
The Samuel Gardner family purchased 1191 Main Street in 1850; they were descended from original settler John Gardner (d. 1688) and nearby Gardner Street, laid out in 1742, is named after this family. The property has an interesting site history as well; the Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. House is built on land granted by the Town to clergyman Robert Peck (1580-1656) in 1640. Under Criteria C, the Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. House is a fine example of a three quarter Cape Cod cottage. Although the house has grown in increments with several ells and a shed dormer, it has maintained its architectural integrity as all the alterations and additions are architecturally compatible and are sited to the rear of the residence.
On September 2, 1635 the Great and General Court in Boston recognized the settlement of the coastal Bare Cove, changed its name to Hingham and incorporated it as the twelfth town in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Settled in the seventeenth century, Hingham's agricultural and maritime development occurred in the eighteenth century while commerce and manufacturing came to the town in the early nineteenth century. The Liberty Plain area of Hingham was first settled about the time of King Philip's War (1675-1676); the first residents were the Whiton, Dunbar, Chubbuck and Gardner families. The name Liberty Plain probably dates from the Revolution as many of its families furnished soldiers for this war. The area's old name, Great Plain, was used before that time (Hingham Journal, Sept. 3, 1928). The Enoch Whiton House (1680), 1083 Main Street, is the oldest extant residence in the area.
Iwo landmarks in Liberty Plain, both of which are close to 1191 Main Street, are Accord Pond and Queen Ann's Corner. The Hingham Land Conservation Trust in its "Parklands for the Public" (1982) describes the origin of Accord Pond's name: "Soon after Hingham was established, there was a heated land dispute with Plymouth and in 1639-1640 commissioners, including Pilgrim Gov. William (continued) Initad Suies Doparzmeit e1 tra Iranor National Parx Bervos National Register of Historis Pieses Continuation Sheet Thopmas Chubbuck Jr. House Hingham (Plymouth County) Massachusetts Section numbe: 8 Pape Bradford and Puritan Gov. John Endicott, agreed that the line between Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony should run to "ye middle of a great ponde -.. which was formerly named (and still we desire may be called) Accord pond." The 1885 address of 1191 Main Street was "Main N.
Queen Anne." Located on the old stagecoach route between Boston and Plymouth, Queen Ann's Corner, at the junction of Main and Whiting (Route 53) Streets, was always the locus of a store and a taven. The name "Queen Ann" derives not from any passing royalty but from the shrewd and lively Ann Whiton/Whiting (1711-1799), daughter of John Whiton (b. 1679/80) and Mary Tower Whiton (b. 16/1), who operated a tavern near the intersection from approximately 1730 to 1780 (Julian C. Loring, research notes to 1242 Main Street). The residence at 1191 Main Street is significant to the local historic context as the only known extant Hingham house to have been built by a descendant of Thomas Chubbuck (d. 1676), one of Hingham's earliest settlers.
Thomas Chubbuck and Alice Hubbart (1607-1674) were married in 1631 in Haxdingham, Rng tnd in 18s a raed tor abouer a year an cait tatone before moving to Hingham, Massachusetts. Thomas received a grant of a house-lot at Broad Cove (Lincoln Street) in 1635. The couple, part of a band of English "God-fearing Puritans" seeking the freedom to worship and govern themselves (Foley, Hingham Old and New, p. 5), was represented in the 300th Anniversary of the Town. Like many of the early inhabitants of Liberty Plain, the Chubbucks were thrifty and industrious farmers. Indian corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, beans, apples, hay, hemp and flax were cited by Donald Robinson as the most important crops of South Hingham (Iwo Hundred Years in South Hingham, p. 9-10).
A survey of mid-eighteenth century cateable farming lands in the entire town was done by Solomon Lincoln who listed "six hundred and sixty three acres of tillage land, one hundred and fifty one acres of orchard, two thousand and forty three acres mowing land" (History of Hingham, 1827, p. 90). Although their home was at Broad Bridge, the original Chubbucks were early landowners in Liberty Plain. Thomas Chubbuck, according to his will of April 16, 1675, proved December 27, 1676, acquired considerable acreage at what is now 1006 Main Street, not far from 1191 Main Street. He left "two great lots at the Great Plain [Liberty Plain], next the country way [Main Street], containing twelve acres each, one given him by the town [in 1638], the other purchased of John Garnet [aka Gardner, in 1667]" (History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts; The Genealogies, 1893, reprint 1982, Vol II, p. 122).
The land for 1191 Main Street as well as the house and land at the adjoining 1175 Main Street (note: after 1937 the two properties were separated by 1187 Main Street) was purchased by Thomas Chubbuck, Jr.'s great-grandfather, Thomas Chubbuck (1674-1753), a farmer and original member of the Church in the Ihird (continued) SEAN Inhad Frates Dapaziam at the imerior Tuational Fark Servios National Register of Historls Piaces Continuation Sheet Thomas Chubbuck Jr. House Hingham (Plymouth County) Masachusetts Section number Pape 3 Parish. His son, Jeremiah Chubbuck (1704-1774), inherited both properties in 1753. Jeremiah graduated from Harvard College in 1725, was an original officer in the Third Precinct (1746), taught in a grammar school in Hingham (ca. 1752/1753) and served as a lieutenant in the French and Indian War (1762-1763).
He is buried in Liberty Plain Cemetery (first burial, 1739; establishment, 1755) which contains the gcaves of so many of the descendants of Liberty Plain's original settlers. Thomas Chubbuck (1732/33-1802), Thomas Chubbuck, Jr.'s father, came into prossession of 1175 Main Street in 1774 and the land at 1191 Main Street in A veteran of the French and Indian War, in 1755 he served under Captain Samue1 Thaxter (1723-1771), Colonel Richard Gridley's regiment, and participated in the taking of the French fort at Crown Point, Lake Champlain. He deeded 1191 Main Street to his son, Thomas Chubbuck, Jr., in 1778 and young Thomas built his house the same year. The military career of Thomas Chubbuck, Jx. is illustrative of the relatively short enlistment periods and frequent enlistments characteristic of the Revolutionary War. At age eighteen, Thomas Chubbuck, Jr.
enlisted as a private in Captain Jothan Loring's (1740-1820) company, Colonel John Greaton's regiment, from April 17, 1775 to August 1, 1775. With this beginning, Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. embarked on four more years of determined soldiering, serving under many of the illustrious military names of Hingham. He signed on to Captain Charles Cushing's (1744-1809) company, Colonel Greaton's 36th regiment, in October and December 1775. He entered into Captain Theophilus Wilder's (1740-1821) company, Colonel Benjamin Gill's regiment, in 1777, the Lineage Book of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution noting: "Thomas Chubbuck was a patriot, rendering material aid by transporting soldiers' baggage to Bennington." He enlisted with Captain Elias Whiton's (1743-1778) company of guards, Colonel Lyman's regiment, in 1778.
A Thomas Chubbuck, probably the same man, was a private in Captain Thomas Vinson's company, Colonel Garrish's regiment, and was discharged on November 23, 1779 (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors-of the Revolutionary Wax, Boston: Secretary of the Commonwealth, 1897). Thomas Chubbuck, Jx. married his first wife, Margaret Stodder (1757-1785), the daughter of Hezekiah Stodder (b. 1722) and Abigail Whiton Stodder (d. 1805) on August 9, 1780. After her death, he married his second wife, Joanna . Whiton (1758-1850), on June 11, 1787. Unfortunately, as a deed of 1788 described widow, Thomas must have died almost immediately. Joanna, however, lived another sixty-two years, retaining 1191 Main Street until her death in 1850. She is buried in Liberty Plain Cemetery.
The property at 1191 Main Street passed into the Gardner family when Nancy Whiton Gardner, the widow of farmer Samuel Gardner (1774-1843), acquired it in 1850. She lived there until her death in 1870. Iwo of her sons retained the (continuedo Imtted Statee Desperimeni of the imenicr Nutional Park Servide National Registar of Historis Piases Continustion Sheet Thomas Chubbuck Jr. House Hingham (Plymouth County) Massachusetts Section numbe: - Pape . property, Howard Gardner (1798-1885), a mason, living there until his death in 1885 and Tobias Oakman Gardner (1821-1895), keeping his share of the property until 1895. Tobias, a partner in Gardner, Ford & Co., a dry goods firm located at 39 Kingston Street, Boston, was a deacon in the Evangelical Church and devoted much of his energies to temperance reform.
Nancy and Samuel Gardner, as well as their son, Howard Gardner, and Samuel's mother, Althea Gardner (d. 1788), are buried in Liberty Plain Cemetery. All the Gardners were descendants of John Gardner (d. 1668), the name also being written "Garne," "Garnet" and "Garnett," who came to Hingham about 1650 and received a grant of land in "the south part of town" in 1656. Gardners were scattered over Liberty Plain on both sides of Main Street. Gardner Street, laid out in 1742, is named after the Gardner family and some the specific houses lived in by Gardners in the Liberty Plain area are located at 962, 982, 995, 1006, 1029, 1030 and 1088 Main Street. Lydia G. Gardner, Tobias Gardner's wife, retained 1191 Main Street until 1900, selling it in that year to the Queen Ann's Corner postmaster and grocer, Arthur I. Bryant, partner in the Linscott and Bryant store, 1237 Main Street.
Arthur Bryant stayed in residence at 1191 Main Street until 1920 when he sold the property to dentist Frederick I. Sherry. The site of 1191 Main Street also has an interesting history. In 1640 this land was granted by the Town of Hingham to the influential Robert Peck (1580-1656). Peck was a prominent clergyman in Hingham, England who arrived in Hingham in 1638, fleeing with many of his parishioners from the persecutions of the English church (M. E. Lonsdale, "The Heyday of Their Strength," p. 30-31). On November 28, 1638 Robert Peck was ordained a teacher of the Hingham, Massachusetts church, sharing the ministry with Reverend Peter Hobart (1604-1679). Although Peck promised to stay with his fellow emigrants, when the persecutions in England ceased, he returned there in 1641 and resumed his Hingham, England rectorship in 1646. Louis C.
Cornish notes that "except for the return of the Reverend Robert Peck fróm new to 0ld Hingham in 1641, no New Hingham People so far as is known went back to Old Hingham for two hundred years or more." ("A Pilgrimage to Old Hingham," 1915, p. 7) Peck's ownership of the 1191 Main Street land was followed by that of the distinguished Captain John (1626-1686/87) and Colonel Samuel (1665-1740) Thaxter, descendants of original settler Thomas Thaxter (d. 1653/54). Farmer, selectman and cepresentative Theophilus Cushing (1657-1717/18) was the next owner followed by his sons, constable David Cushing (1694-1723) and Seth Cushing (b. 1705), all descendants of Matthew Cushing (d. 1660) who emigrated to Hingham in 1638. Thomas (1674-1753) and Jeremiah Chubbuck (1704-1774) acquired the property from Seth Cushing in 1743.

The term "Cape Cod Cottage" was first recorded "by a president of Yale College, Timothy Dwight (1751-1817), who in 1800 visited the Cape where he found the houses so specialized in character ... and pattern that they could be called with propriety, Cape Cod Houses" (Conally, p. 1, quoting from Timothy Dwight, Icavels in New England and New York, 4 vols, New Haven, 1812, III, 97).
This observance of Dwight indicates that by the end of the eighteenth century, the cont 1y.2 Cape Cod House was a type, fully mature and identifiable. It is numerous today in southern Massachusetts, and in paxticular, Hingham. "Hingham has as many if not more ancient Cape Cod houses per square mile than the entire Cape ever boasted." (Schuler, p. 5). Numbers were not given in the Schuler Cape Cod House book, but statistics from the Comprehensive Architectural and Historical Survey of the Town of Hingham (July 1991) reveal the following: the Town of Hingham boasts of the existence of 151 Cape Cod houses of which four are in the Lincoln National Register Historic District, seventy-seven are located in local historic districts and seventy are individual listings in the inventory. The Thomas Chubbuck, Jr.
House, 1191 Main Street, is in the latter category- A11 manifestations of the Cape Cod House are to be found in Hingham; the seventeenth century cottage (the 1696 Benjamin Gardner House, 962 Main Street, Survey #664), the half Cape (the 1813 Blossom Sprague House, 19 Pleasant Street, Survey #A-1072), the full Cape (the 1756 Samuel Wilder House, 963 Main Street, Survey #665), the double Cape (the 1761 Nathaniel Lincoln House, 79 Fort Hill Street, Survey #C-175), the Cape with a bowed roof (the 1761 Jabez Wilder House, 557 Main Street, Survey #570), and the Greek Revival Cape (the 1838 Edward Wilder House, 720 Main Street, Survey #D-631). Many have been added to, caxely as felicitously as at 1191 Main Street where post-1778 construction was built at the rear thus conserving the original compact, one story massing of the house.
There is one other three-quarter Cape Cod House in Hingham, the 1755 Ephraim Sprague House, 40 Middle Street, Survey#A-720,but its integrity has been jeopardized by the presence of a laxge full width shed dormer in the front which compromises the original low profile, so characteristic of Cape Cod houses. For over two hundred years, the Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. House has overlooked historic seventeenth century Main Street, presenting an unchanged asymmetrical facade composed of three sash windows tightly set under the eaves, a simple enframed entrance, a wood shingled gable roof, plain boards articulating the corners and a single window at the side gables. The residence still retains pastoral setting for it is fronted by a wide expanse of lawn, a wooded area is to the north and suburban type landscaping frames the south and the west elevations. The construction of the Thomas Chubbuck, Jx.
House was similar to the other Cape Cod houses; it was built with huge timbers supported on granite rocks. The framing for the front and back walls consisted of sills (continued) Una ungrten Irtsod Birtas DrparzmeiT el tre Imrior National Park beros National Register of Historle Piases Continuation Sneet Thomas Chubbuck Jr. House Hingham (Plymouth County) Massachusetts Section number Paps_6 supporting the vertical posts which were placed at the corners (still visible in the front of the house). The present blinds were probably not original to the house, but might well have been added early on, after the initial construction, in the late eighteenth century when they came into widespread In 1989, the house underwent cenovation to convert it from a single residence to a multiple residence (four singles).
Great care was given to the cetention of the original walls, original moldings and fireplaces. The plan of the parlor (now a bedroom) to the noctheast, and the hall/kitchen to the southeast separated by a small entrance hall has remained intact. The architectural integrity of the Thomas Chubbuck, Jr. House, its unchanging facade, its retention of original plans and materials, its rural setting, its importance in the lives of early settlers in South Hingham make it worthy of nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological Significance Since patterns of prehistoric occupation in Hingham are poorly understood, any surviving sites would be significant. Sites in this area can be important by contributing to knowledge of more inland settlement on the coastal plain.
Sites in this area can also be important by further defining the extent of native social/political relationships with native people in core acres to the north and west in the greater Boston locale or to the south in the Plymouth Historic archaeological remains described above have the potential for providing detailed information on the social, cultural, and economic patterns that characterized segments of two of Hingham's oldest families from 1778 when the house was built by Thomas Chubbuck Jr., to 1900 when it was sold by the Gardner family. Detailed analysis of occupational related features can provide information pertaining to specific periods of occupation at the house and its relationship to larger social, cultural and economic developments in the Liberty Plain area and Hingham as a whole.
Archaeological features related to house construction can help document alterations and additions to the house since construction.
