A very interesting find at http://books.google.com/ is Memoirs of seventy years of an eventful life published by Charles Hulbert in England in 1852.
Family comments include
“The family of Hulbert, Hurlbert or Hurlbut, as the name has been variously spelt at different time, are probably of Saxon origin… met with the name frequently in Germany. The principal families now existing, are traceable to Corsham, in Wiltshire… My paternal ancestors appear to have been Yeoman in the parishes of Bowden and Cheadle for several centuries.”
” the last and present generation agreed to adopt the softer mode of spelling, namely Hulbert, the Cheshire branch had previously preferred the harder spelling Hurlbut..”
