John Whitefield Hulbert (June 1, 1770 – October 19, 1831) was a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts.
Born in Alford in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, Hulbert completed preparatory studies. He graduated from Harvard University in 1795. He studied law. He was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Alford, Massachusetts, in 1797. He served as director of Berkshire Bank, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
John W. Hulbert's father, Dr. John Hulbert, was also politically-minded. However, the two had almost completely opposite political inclinations. While John W. Hulbert was a Federalist, Dr. Hulbert was an active participant in the Shays' Rebellion. Having received his medical training in Sharon, Connecticut, he traveled across state lines during the period of unrest in order to raise awareness and recruit for the rebellion.[2]
Connecticut State authorities were notified of his operations, and Dr. Hulbert was arrested. The charges against him and his co-conspirators were dropped after the hawkish Massachusetts governor James Bowdoin was replaced by the more reconcilatory John Hancock.[2]
Hulbert was elected as a Federalist to the Thirteenth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Daniel Dewey. He was reelected to the Fourteenth Congress and served from September 26, 1814, to March 3, 1817. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1816. He moved to Auburn, New York, in 1817. He represented Cayuga County as Member of the New York State Assembly in 1825.[1] He resumed the practice of his profession. He died in Auburn, New York, October 19, 1831. He was interred in North Street Cemetery.
