Description
The Hubon Family Papers contain the correspondence of early San Diego settler Frederick Hubon (1827-1882), and include letters
from three generations of Hubons, with some additional correspondence from other acquaintances. The correspondence touches
upon major events of the nineteenth century, including California's gold rush and the Civil War, as well as personal Hubon
family concerns.
Background
The Hubon Family Papers provide a glimpse into the lives of three generations of San Diego pioneer Frederick Hubon's (1827-1882)
family. The earliest history of the family's migration from France to America is unclear but the family's only reporter, Frederick's
niece, Emily Hubon, said their branch of the family lived in Baltimore, Maryland, in the late 1700s.
