"The Huber family roots are in the vicinity of Hausen, Canton Zürich, Switzerland. The Hubers were much intermarried with the Bowman (Bauman, Baumann, Buman, etc.), Neff(Naf), Weaver (Weber), Barr (Bear, Bar, etc.) and Good (Gut, Guth) lines. Many Hubers and Neffs fought and died with Ulrich Zwingli and the Reformed forces against the Catholics at the Battle of Kappel, October 11, 1531."
