William Blackstone Hubbard (1795 - 1866) was a politician, railroad president, banker and Masonic Grand Master in the U.S state of Ohio. ==Youth and legislative career== William B. Hubbard was born in Utica, New York on August 26, 1795. His parents were Bela and Naomi (Stow) Hubbard. The Stows were an old Connecticut family. He received a thorough education and read law with his maternal uncle, Silas Stow. He was admitted to the New York bar, and moved to St. Clairsville, Belmont County, Ohio in 1816. Hubbard was Belmont County Prosecuting Attorney for several years and was then elected to the Ohio State Senate for the 26th and 27th General Assemblies, serving 1827 to 1829. In February, 1830, a bill he had drafted titled “An Act to incorporate the Ohio Canal and Steubenville Railroad Company” was passed. This was the first railroad legislation in Ohio, and came before a railroad with steam powered locomotive was operational anywhere. In 1831, Hubbard was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives for the 30th General Assembly and he was re-elected to the 31st, serving 1831 to 1833. For the 30th General Assembly, he was elected Speaker of the House. He was said to have “presided over the deliberations of that body with distinguished dignity and capability”. He was originally a Whig and later became a Republican. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Blackstone Hubbard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
