JOHN GRUBB, the most prominent of all these early settlers of the name and the ancestor of the now numerous family of the name in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and elsewhere, is said to have been born in Cornwall, England, 1652, and to have come to the Delaware river, in the ship "Kent," 1677. He obtained a grant of land at Upland, now Chester, Pennsylvania, 1679, and at Grubb's Land- ing, New Castle county, now Delaware, 1682, and subsequently elsewhere, in both the Lower Counties, as Delaware was then known, and in Pennsylvania.

According to researches made by his descendant, Hon. Ignatius C. Grubb, of Wilmington, Delaware, during his various visits to England, John Grubb belonged to a county family of note in Wiltshire, which had settled in that county as early as 1550, and much earlier in Hertfordshire, where Henry Grubbe, in 1506, mar- ried Joan, daughter of Sir Richard Radcliffe, who died in 1485, on Bosworth Field, in support of King Richard III., and whose descendants are still prominent citizens of the neighboring counties in England.

GRUBB

The ancestry of John Grubb, of Grubb's Landing, New Castle county, has been traced to Henry Grubbe, Esq., who was elected a member of Parliament for De- vizes, Wiltshire, in the fourteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1571). He died in 1581, and was the ancestor of Walter Grubbe, member of Parliament, 1685; and of General John Heneage Hunt Grubbe, Commander at Quebec, of Major Thomas Hunt Grubbe, who was wounded in battle under General Lord Packenham, at New Orleans, 1815; and of Admiral Sir Walter Hunt Grubbe, K. B., K. C. B., now of the Royal Navy, England.

Thomas Grubbe, Esq. (eldest son of the said Henry Grubbe), of Potterne, De- vizes, Wiltshire, died there February 2, 1617. His second son,

Thomas Grubbe, M. A., born at Potterne, Devizes, Wiltshire, 1581 ; graduated at Oxford University, and became rector of Cranfield, Bed fordshire.

John Grubb, Esq., second son of Thomas Grubbe, M. A., born in Bedfordshire, England, 1610, died at Potterne, Wiltshire, 1667, was a royalist and an adherent of the Church of England, during the Civil War, and after the execution of Charles I., settled in Cornwall, where, as Judge Grubb has ascertained, he married Helen Vivian, and was the father of-

John Grubb, the early settler on the Delaware, who was born in Cornwall, 1652, and whose wife was Frances Vane, of Kent county, England.

This John Grubb, son of John and Helen ( Vivian) Grubb, the pioneer settler, with William Penn, Richard Buffington, and others, signed the Plan of Government for the Province of West Jersey, bearing date March 3, 1676, and at the age of twenty- five years sought his fortune and a career in the New World. Whether he emigrated direct from Cornwall is not certainly known. As his father was buried in 1667, in the family Churchyard at Potterne, Wiltshire, it is possible that John may have lived in Wiltshire at about the time he came to America. This is not unlikely, inasmuch as John Buckley and Morgan Drewett, whose land immediately adjoin- ed his at Grubb's Landing, on the Delaware, as well as others among his friends and contemporaries who resided at Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, and the neigh- boring townships, all emigrated from Wiltshire.

During his thirty years of rugged and arduous pioneer life on the Delaware he proved himself to be a man of enterprising, vigorous and sterling qualities, and of practical business ability. He was prominent and influential in his section, and successful in his career as legislator, magistrate, farmer and leather manufacturer. He not only cleared and cultivated the various tracts of land he owned, but he also, in practical recognition of the needs of a pioneer people, erected a tannery near Grubb's Landing and was one of the earliest manufacturers of leather in Penn's new Province. He also, conformably to the provisions of Penn's very practical law and the custom of the most prominent settlers, had each of his sons taught a practical trade, in order that they might be prepared for every contingency incident to those early times.

In November, 1679, a tract of three hundred and forty acres of land on Ches- ter creek, near Upland, now Chester, Pennsylvania, was conveyed to him and Richard Buffington. He with this Richard Bovington or Buffington, with whom he was closely associated, were defendants in a suit brought to the Court at New Castle, 1680, by Robert Wade, in reference to their tenancy or purchase of land belonging to Wade, and other matters in dispute. On September 19, 1682, "Stock- dale's Plantation" of eight hundred acres in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle

county, was surveyed to John Grubb, though a portion of it was in dispute be- tween him and the Proprietary Government for a number of years, as shown by the correspondence of James Logan, Secretary of the Proprietors. It was located on Naaman's creek and the Delaware river, and came to be known as Grubb's Manor Lands. On May 9, 1691, there was surveyed to him by virtue of a war- rant dated April 26, 1684, four and a half acres for a tan yard, on which he erect- ed a tannery. At the Court at Chester, January 6, 1684, he made a deposition in reference to a matter then pending, and is mentioned as "about thirty-two years of age." He was commissioned a Justice of New Castle county, May 2, 1693, and was elected a member of the Colonial Assembly, 1692-98-1700. On June 3, 1698, Alice Gilpin, widow of Thomas Gilpin, conveyed to him one hundred and eight acres of land near Grubb's Landing, on the Delaware, and in 1707 John French, Sheriff, conveyed to him one hundred and seventy-five acres in Brandy- wine Hundred. In 1703-4, he purchased land at Marcus Hook, Chichester town- ship, Chester county, Pennsylvania, where he was living at the time of making his will in which he is named as of the county of Chester. He died at Marcus Hook, March, 1708, in his fifty-sixth year, and was buried there in St. Martin's Churchyard. He was not a Quaker, but like his ancestors adhered to the Church of England. His will was proved, filed and recorded in the Register of Wills' Office at Philadelphia, March 26, 1708, but as he was a large landowner in New Castle county a copy thereof was filed in the Wills' Office at New Castle, Delaware.

Frances (Vane) Grubb, of Grubb's Landing, married (second) Richard Buff- ington, her first husband's friend and associate, as has been shown by deeds sign- ed by them and by other circumstances, and thereafter lived in Bradford township, Chester county, where she died, prior to 1721.

PETER GRUBB, b. at Grubb's Landing, 1702, became the prominent iron master of Lebanon, and an account of him and his descendants will be given later.

EMANUEL GRUBB, eldest son of John and Frances (Vane) Grubb, was born at Grubb's Landing, New Castle county, July 19, 1682, three months before Will- iam Penn landed at Chester, on his first visit to his new Province of Pennsyl- vania, and died there August 9, 1767. He married, 1708, Ann Hedge Cock, born February 27, 1694, died January 24, 1772. She was a granddaughter of Otto Ernest Koch, or Cock, as spelled by the English, Secretary to the Swedish Gov- ernor, John Printz, at Tinicum Island, and presiding Justice of the Upland Court in 1680, and a member of the first English Governor, William Markham's Coun- cil, 1681. She was also a descendant of Colonel John Fenwick, founder of Fen- wick's Colony, Salem county, New Jersey, 1675, by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Walter Covert.

Emanuel Grubb resided until his death on a portion of Stockdale's Plantation, which was named "Stockdales," after it was resurveyed in 1735, and divided be- tween Emanuel Grubb, his brother, John Grubb, and Adam Buckley. He also purchased other tracts in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle county, and in the Province of Pennsylvania ; was a man of note and influence in his time, and of exemplary character and rare physical vigor. In 1727 he was commissioned one of the Colonial Justices, to hold the Court of Common Pleas and other courts of

1234

GRUBB

New Castle county ; was an active member of the Episcopal church, and from 1725 until his death, 1767, was a vestryman of St. Martin's Church, at Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. He, his son, Emanuel, and grandson, James Grubb, con- tinuously and successively served as vestrymen of that church for an unbroken period of over a century.

An obituary notice, published in the Pennsylvania Gazette, August 20, 1767, says of Emanuel Grubb: "He died at Brandywine Hundred, on the 10th instant in his eighty-sixth year, and was interred in the Churchyard at St. Martin's Lower Chichester ( Marcus Hook), Chester County." It also says, "that he was born in a temporary cave dug into the clay bluff on the edge of the Delaware River, during the building of his father's house, not far from where he always lived and where he died; and further that he was the first child born of English parents in the Province of Pennsylvania."

Whilst it has been shown that a few English children were born in the Colony before him, yet it is true that he was the first English child born after the grant of the Province of Pennsylvania to' William Penn, March 4, 1681, so far as yet appears. He left a will, dated May 5, 1764, and proven August 19, 1767, on which is a wax impression of Emanuel's very antique family signet ring, and now possessed by his lineal descendant, Judge Ignatius C. Grubb, of Wilming- ton, Delaware.

1236

GRUBB

Grubb, 1682, and was an extensive landowner and leading citizen in New Castle county, of which he was many years a magistrate. He died April 4, 1827. His wife was Sarah, daughter of John and Prudence (Clayton) Ford, and a descend- ant of William Clayton, one of the Justices of the first Court held at Upland, under the Proprietary Government, by Governor William Markham, September 13, 1681, and a member of William Penn's Council, 1683-84; also a descendant of Walter Martin, member of Colonial Assembly of Pennsylvania, and the donor of the land on which St. Martin's Church at Marcus Hook was erected.

James and Sarah (Ford) Grubb had eleven children, only three of whom, Ann, James and Wellington, have left descendants.

WELLINGTON GRUBB, of "Stockdales," son of James and Sarah (Ford) Grubb, was born at Grubb's Landing, New Castle county, Delaware, December 25, 1811, died in Wilmington, Delaware, February 10, 1853, having removed to that city in 1849. He was the owner of a fine farm and timber land in Brandywine Hun- dred, and also of valuable real estate in Wilmington. He married Beulah C., daughter of John Allmand, Esq., by his wife, Beulah Buckley. On the paternal side Mrs. Grubb was a descendant of Captain John Allmand, who was commis- sioned a Captain in the Provincial Service in 1747, in one of the "Two Regiments of New Castle County," under Colonels John Gooding and William Armstrong (Penna. Ach., vol. ii., p. 440).

HON. IGNATIUS COOPER GRUBB, only son of Wellington and Beulah C. (All- mand) Grubb, was born on the old homestead, "Stockdales," Grubb's Landing, Brandywine Hundred, New Castle county, Delaware, occupied continuously by his lineal ancestors in succession, for over a century and a half, prior to his birth, April 12, 1841. He was educated at the Delaware Academy, Wilmington, under the direction of Colonel Theodore Hyatt, and having then completed the entire classical course at Yale College, became a student at law in the office of his guar- dian, Victor Du Pont, Esq., Wilmington. He was admitted to the Delaware Bar, November, 1862, and early became a successful lawyer and eloquent and force- ful advocate. He began to take an interest in political affairs at an early age and became a sagacious and influential leader of the Democratic party in his state. He was especially strong as a constitutional lawyer and has frequently been called upon to argue and decide questions of the utmost importance to the people of his state. While Secretary of State, under Governor Cochran, he was instrumental in settling the controversy with the state of New Jersey over the fishing rights, arising out of the "Twelve Mile Circle" boundary dispute. He was the author and ardent advocate of the "Grubb Representative Constitutional Amendment," by which the representation of New Castle county in the State Legislature was to be increased and more equitably apportioned ; and has been active in his ad- vocacy of constitutional reform on other lines. He was Clerk of the House of Representatives of Delaware, 1867; Deputy Attorney General, 1869; City Solici- tor of Wilmington, 1871; Secretary of State, 1875-79; and Register of Wills for the county of New Castle, 1884-86; Associate Justice of the State of Delaware,

On June 12, 1897, he was appointed Associate Justice at Large of the Supreme Court of Delaware, under the new constitution, and still fills that posi- tion. From the time of his elevation to the bench of the State Judiciary, he has been frequently called upon to preside in the Courts of New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, during the absence or disability of the Chief Justice. From 1886 to June 10, 1897, he presided almost continuously, in lieu of the Chancellor, in the Orphans' Court of New Castle county, and has also sat as one of the Judges of the late Court of Errors and Appeals, and present Supreme Court.
