12. | Annable Joseph Hubbell was born on 18 Jul 1773 in East Haddam, Middlesex County, CT; was christened on 26 Sep 1779 in Millington, Middlesex County, CT (son of Annable John and Stewart Hannah); died on 24 Sep 1831 in Bethlehem, NY. Notes:
Joseph, second son of John and Hannah Stewart Annable, was married to Anna Crosby by Rev. Joeph Vail of Hadlyme, CT.
They settled first in New London, CT where he was engaged in shipping to the Bahama Islands and elsewhere, and removed thence in 1810, to Albany, NY.
About 1810, the family changed the spelling of it's last name, using only one "n", thus Anable, not Annable.
After the death of this first wife, Anna, he married Alma Sheldon. She was born at Adams(Bershire County), MA. and died at Philadelphia, Pa. Her remains were interred at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, PA. The remains of Joseph Anable, his first wife, Anna, and those of his daughter (by his second marriage) Cynthia Jane, were removed from their original resting place (presumably the Laurel Hill Cemetery) to the Albany Rural Cemetery in 1868.
Alma (Sheldon)Anable's mother, Isabel (Low) Sheldon, was the daughter of Major Samuel Low of Cheshire, MA, owner of a great estate in Massachusetts. He was reported to have been a great hunter who fought valiantly in the Revolutionary War, seeing many acts of mercy while he was fighting for freedom. He set his many slaves free, all of whom elected to remain with the family and lived to an old age in his service.
She was the sister of Urania(Sheldon)Nott, second wife of Dr. Eliphalet Nott, President of Union College, Schenectady, New York, 1814-1866, an all-time record for the tenure of the office of a college president. He was the namesake of Henry Sheldon Anable's only son, Eliphalet Nott Anable, father of the author of "The Anable Family in America 1623-1967".
Joseph married Sheldon Alma on 28 Jul 1814 in Troy, Rensselaer Co., NY. Alma was born on 25 Apr 1785 in Adams, Berkshire County, MA; died on 04 Aug 1875 in Philadelphia, Montgomery County, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
