Perhaps we should consider this:
SOURCE:History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield Volume 1, Donald Lines Jacobus, Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor Company. Connecticut. 1930, p 315/6
Hurlbut, Thomas. Colonial Grant, Oct 1671, for service in Pequot War, 1637. Clerk, Wethersfield Trainband, June 1649.
The surname is often spelled hollabut, Holabird, and various other ways. The "Hurlbut Gen." gives an impossible account of the succession of three Thomas Hurlbuts, where there were but two. He came prob. with Lion Gardiner to Saybrook 1635, and his part in the Pequot War is narrated by Capt. Gardiner in his "Relation". He settled in Wethersfield, where he was a blacksmith. In 1662, the town granted him land on ehich to set a shop and little house.
In 1670 he was listed in the town of Wethersfield with seven persons in his household, whom we take to be himself, his wife, and five sons; the only other Hurlbut listed separately was (his son) Samuel, with three persons. (The Wyllys Papers).
It seems there are schools of opinion. Unfortunately the three Thomas rule seems to have started with the "fradulent" genealogy by Henry Carlton Hulbert with help from Anjou. We must make a choice but always indicate that it is a choice we have made.
