| Birth* | before 1615 | Maurice Hobbs (Immigrant) was born before 1615 at England "upwards of 91" when died, so born prior to 1615 - could have been earlier since we don't know exact age. History of Hampton says "born about 1615."1 |

| Burial | He was buried at North Hampton Burial Ground, Hampton, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire, memorial tombstone is for him, but with errors. The vital record of his death in Jan 1705/6 says he is "upwards of 91", so born prior to 1615 - could have been earlier since we don't know exact age. The year of death on this stone is wrong, but the 91 years, combined with him being born in England, makes it very likely this is who is meant to be memorialized when it was made in the 1800s. Also, the second Maurice on the stone is his son, and the third is his great grandson.
