  • David Grubb Post, 07 May 1999
    http://genforum.genealogy.com/grubb/messages/165.html David Grubb post, 07 May 1999 Ever since 1893, there has been a debate within the Delaware Grubb family concerning its origins. New evidence has been discovered that finally establishes that John Grubb, our immigrant ancestor was christened in Stoke Climsland, Cornwall on August 16, 1652, the son of Henry Grubb Jr and his wife, Wilmot. For the last nine months, Wilmer Grubb, Harold Mullins and myself have been working to update Gilbert Cope’s 1893 history of the family. Numerous other people are contributing material for the project. Below are the results of the portion of this project dealing with the family’s origins. Part one discusses the Grubb families in England. Part two discusses John Grubb's ancestors including the new evidence. Part three is a new biography of John Grubb. PART ONE THE GRUBB FAMILIES OF ENGLAND: To members of the Delaware Grubb family, Judge Ignatius Cooper Grubb (1841 ‐ 1927) of the Delaware Court of Appeals is remembered for his disproved theory that the Delaware family was descended from nobility. We now know that John Grubb, our immigrant ancestor was not a member of the prominent Wiltshire Grubbe family, and that Frances, his wife was not the daughter of Sir Henry Vane, "the younger." However, to genealogists of various Grubb families throughout the world, Ignatius Grubb is recognized as the first modern family historian who determined that the Grubb families of England are in fact transplants from Denmark and Germany. The surname Grubb, Grubbe and its variations do not appear in the first census of England, taken in the late eleventh century.

PA-6225 Location: 611 Meetinghouse Road, Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania Present Owner: Concord Monthly Meeting, Religious Society of Friends Present Use: Meeting House used semi-annually for religious worship Significance: Chichester Meeting House is a well-preserved and unusual example of eighteenth-century Quaker meeting-house architecture in the Delaware Valley. Erected between 1769 and 1771, the building follows a plan with few contemporary counterparts. Most extant American meeting-house designs of the period place the main entrance(s) and elevated seating area known as the facing bench on the long walls. At Chichester, both features are located in the gable ends. Again rejecting convention, Chichester's designers partitioned the building in such a way as to exclude the facing bench from one of the two meeting rooms. This layout may reflect the influence of local domestic architecture. It may as easily represent an interpretation of English meeting-house design or testify to the relative status of Chichester's men's and women's meetings for business. In any case, the building's configuration deserves further study. Chichester Meeting House also exhibits distinctive features of a smaller scale. These include: a decorative water table that highlights comers and doors, a comer fireplace, an early iron stove, and a secondary, waist-high partition door.

  • Irish Quakers in Colonial Pennsylvania: a Forgotten Segment of Society
    Irish Quakers in Colonial Pennsylvania: A Forgotten Segment of Society by Gerelyn Hollingsworth I. Introduction With the notable exception of Albert Cook Myers, American historians have chosen to ignore the Irish Quakers who settled in colonial Pennsylvania or to regard them as indistinguishable from their English coreligionists. 1 The neglect is understandable to some extent. Unlike Dutch and Welsh Quakers who arrived in Pennsylvania determined to maintain their own language and customs, Irish Friends spoke the English language and observed English conventions. Dutch and Welsh Quakers attempted to remain autonomous by establishing themselves in national enclaves at Germantown and west of the Schuyl- kill but Irish Friends made no such effort to live apart from the English and could be found throughout the colony. 2 The Irish Quakers themselves were not particularly eager to be conspicuous or to be confused with the "bog-trotting Teagues" seen in the streets of Phila- delphia. 3 They considered themselves Englishmen, little changed by a generation or two spent in the "desolate land of Ireland. '4' If the lack of attention paid to Irish Quakers is understandable, it is not entirely forgivable. As the work done in recent years by local historians has shown, regional differences were extremely significant in an age before modern communications. If "a yeoman in Devonshire, say, was very different from a yeoman in the East Midlands," then cer- tainly there was a great distinction between a Quaker in Cheshire and another in Armagh.5 The purpose

  • Quaker and Courtier. the Life and Work of William Penn, by Mrs
    in Current £iferature< The enterprise of Headley Brothers, the Quaker publishers of 14, Bishopsgate Without, London, E.G., is again evidenced by their publication of a beautiful photogravure of A Silent Meeting, by J. Walter West, R.W.S. The picture, which measures 2iins. by I5ins., can be obtained in two states : Japan proofs, signed and numbered, for two guineas, and lettered prints for one guinea. The picture can also be obtained from Friends' Book and Tract Committee, 51 Fifth Avenue, New York. In these restless days it is refreshing to look at the calm and quietude depicted here, an outward stillness so profound that a robin has ventured onto the floor of the house, without disturbing any of the worshippers save a little girl who has turned her head to watch its movements, or being itself disturbed. The period re­ presented would probably date back one hundred years ; the arrangement of the house reminds us of Jordans in Buckinghamshire. Headley Brothers' Catalogue, with particulars of New and Forth­ coming Books, should be in the hands of book buyers. Many of the publications of this firm may be obtained from Friends' Book and Tract Committee, 51 Fifth Avenue, New York. The Story of the York Adult Schools has been compiled by Frederick John Gillman, in connection with the recent Jubilee celebrations of the York Schools. The book is illustrated with numerous portraits of early workers, groups of scholars, and school buildings (including a beau­ tiful half-tone illustration of the premises in Lady Peckitt's Yard).

The family could trace its roots back to Denmark in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and by the sixteenth Henry Grubbe, Esq., the direct ancestor of the American Grubbs, was residing in Cornwall, England. John Grubb (1652-1708) came from Cornwall in 1679 to Upland (what is now Chester, Pennsylvania) and purchased land there, and his son, Emanuel Grubb, was apparently the first male child to be born of English parents in the new colony of Pennsylvania. Emanuel and another son, John Grubb II (1684-1757) settled in Brandywine Hundred, in what was to be known as Grubb's Landing, and lived on "Stockton Plantation," a property of some 600 acres that would remain in the family possession for generations. Grubb's Landing was one of the first shipping points in New Castle County, Delaware, and was one of the points of access to the colonies by British ships during the American Revolution.

  • Flintlock and the PETER GRUBBS of CORNWALL by Samuel E
    The History of Flintlock AND THE PETER GRUBBS OF CORNWALL By Samuel E. Dyke This is the story of an American Flintlock Pistol and the authentication of its owners, together with discovery of hitherto unknown facts concerning their lives and personalities. Flintlock pistols of American origin were made only in two periods of American History—the first just prior to and during the Revolutionary War, and the second during the War of 1812. They were usually made for the officers or gentry of the colonies and were, therefore, made in relatively small numbers. A flintlock pistol of the Revolutionary War period in good condition is in itself an extreme rarity, but to find one having the initials of the owner en- graved on the silver thumb-piece and another full name engraved on the side- plate is—well, just about as rare a find, in the gun collecting fraternity, as could be wished for. The author, being a student and collector of Revolutionary flintlock pis- tols and rifles, was intrigued upon the examination of a flintlock pistol, at Joe Kindig's Shop in York, Pennsylvania, by finding the name A. Burd Grubb on its sideplate. The name Grubb and the rarity of such a pistol caused him to purchase it. The maker's name is rarely found in that position on the sideplate of the pistol, particularly when there is inlaid a silver thumb-piece on the grip of the pistol. This thumb-piece had engraved thereon the initials P. G. which usually designated the owner of a pistol. To authenticate such a rarity, it is highly desirable and necessary to es- tablish, if possible, the identification of probable owners as indicated by initials P.
