Judge Grubb, prior to his elevation to the bench, took an active part in the coun- cils of his party, and was the Delaware member of the National Democratic Com- mittee, 1880 to 1888. He has always been a champion of education and was some years a member of the State Board of Education. As a member and president of the Historical Society of Delaware, he has prepared a number of valuable papers for their archives; one of special note and value, historically, entitled, "Colonial and State Judiciary of Delaware," was delivered December 21, 1896, giving a history of the administration of justice, in "The Three Lower Counties," and the "State of Delaware," with brief biographies of the presiding Justices, from the settlement of the Swedes on the Delaware to the present time.

Judge Grubb is a member of the American Geographical Society ; Deputy Gov- ernor-General of the Society of Colonial Wars, being a member of the Delaware Society thereof; member of Council of American Bar Association; has been a vestryman of Trinity (Old Swedes') Church, Wilmington, for many years, and a member of the Diocesan Club of Delaware. He has travelled extensively in Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico, British and South America, as well as in the United States. During his visits to Great Britain, he has devoted considerable time to researches in ancient annals in reference to his English ancestry, and much of the early history of the family given in this narrative has been gleaned from his notes thereon.

WILLIAM FORD GRUBB, youngest son of Emanuel Grubb, Jr., by his wife, Anne Ford, born in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle county, Delaware, February 13, 1773, died at Grubb's Corner, New Castle county, July 30, 1849; lived for many years in the fine old mansion house at Grubb's Corner, that had belonged to his father.

GRUBB

PETER GRUBB, youngest son of John and Frances (Vane) Grubb, of Grubb's Landing, New Castle county, was born 1702, and was quite young at the death of his father in 1708. He removed with his mother to Bradford, Chester county, Pennsylvania, on her marriage with Richard Buffington. Such records as we have of his correspondence and business transactions would seem to indicate that his education had been limited in common with the others in that early period of meagre and crude school facilities, but his energy, enterprise and business ability were far above the average. He is registered as "single free-man," in Kennett township, 1726, and is mentioned as "Peter Grubb of Bradford, Yeoman."

He was to receive from Abraham Marshall, one hundred and forty pounds for the erection of a mill, and was to expend of his own funds an equal amount, and in consideration thereof was to enjoy a one-half interest in the mill, Boulting Mills & Mill House, and all the lands on which the said mill was erected, with mill race, mill dam, etc., together with one-half of the mulcture, tolls, profits, etc., of the said mill or mills. How long the unique partnership was continued we are not informed.

Peter Grubb was admitted a member of Friends' Meeting, January 3, 1731-2, and on the same day made his declaration of intention of marriage with Martha, widow of James Wall, and daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Bates, of Gloucester county, New Jersey. Peter was, however, taken with the smallpox, and the mar- riage was delayed until he should sufficiently recover, and took place at Caln Meeting, April 12, 1732. Martha (Bates) Wall had a son, John Wall, by her first marriage, who married Phebe, daughter of Richard Buffington, Jr., by his wife, Phebe, sister to Peter Grubb, and Mary Bates, a niece of hers, married Richard Buffington, 3rd, son of Richard and Phebe (Grubb) Buffington.

Peter Grubb was assessed in East Caln township, 1735, and that was his last appearance on the tax lists of Chester county, he having at about that date re- moved to Lebanon township, Lancaster county, now Lebanon county, and begun there the mining and manufacture of iron. Certain it is that he was the first to discover and begin the development of the rich ore beds at Cornwall, Lebanon county, but there seems to be some dispute about the date of his first operations there. He had doubtless been prospecting for some time in that locality prior to taking up land there and it is known that he obtained warrants of survey, dated respectively, November 2, and November 6, 1734, for two hundred acres each at Cornwall, then in Lancaster county. It further appears that a portion of the land on which the ore beds were located was purchased by him of William Allen. In a "History of Iron Manufacture in Pennsylvania," published in 1878, by James M. Swank, a circumstantial account of how Peter Grubb acquired the title to this land is given that may be correct, though it has been generally asserted that his pur- chase of the Allen land ante-dated his original surveys. This error possibly occurred from the fact that his patent did not issue until after the deed from Allen was executed. The Allen tract of five hundred acres was located on a warrant issued to Joseph Turner, under date of May, 1732, and Turner assigned his warrant to William Allen, April 5, 1734, and Allen's transfer to Peter Grubb was dated the 28th and 29th of November, 1737, and the patent issued to Grubb, August 21, 1745.

Peter Grubb had meanwhile taken out warrants of survey for several other tracts, viz., April 1, 1737, for three hundred acres ; December 2, 1737, two war-

I24I

GRUBB

rants, for an aggregate of two hundred and fifty acres; May 24, 1738, for one hundred and twenty-five acres.

The first furnace is said to have been erected by Peter Grubb, 1735, about five- eighths of a mile from the site of the Cornwall furnace, but it was probably a bloomery that occupied that site, marked by cinders many years after.

Peter Grubb's iron industry at Cornwall was at least launched prior to 1739, as on September 2, the old lease, still preserved, was executed by "Peter Grubb of Lancaster County, Ironmaster," to Samuel Grubb, of East Bradford, Chester county, "Mason," and Joseph Taylor, of Kennett township, Chester county, black- smith and wheelwright, on three hundred acres of land in Lebanon township, Lancaster county, for the "mining of all metals & minerals, except iron." This lease states that Peter Grubb, "Intends to build a furnace, on land adjacent to the said three hundred acres," and reserves the right to dig, mine, etc., on the land leased.

Cornwall Furnace was doubtless named by Peter Grubb in honor of the place of nativity of his father in England. It is the oldest furnace in this country still in operation, and was noticed by Acrelius in his history as early as 1756. Hope- well Forge was erected by him at about the same period. To a letter to his sister, Phebe Buffington, dated "ye 24th of ye 3d. Mo. 1743," Peter Grubb adds the fol- lowing "Note"-"Wee shall Blow in tomorrow & we believe ourselves to be in good circumstances for a good Blast."

Peter Grubb having lost his first wife in 1740, married (second) February 10, 1741-2, Hannah, widow of Thomas Marshall, and daughter of Benjamin and Ann (Pennell) Mendenhall, of Concord, Chester county, and soon after that date seems to have removed to Chester county, as in the lease executed June 13, 1745, "Peter Grubb, of Chester county, yeoman," transfers to John Crosby, Esquire, Caleb Pearce, Peter Dicks, Jacob Carter, John Pennell, John Crosby, Jr., George Church- man Samuel Grubb, and Samuel Walker, of Chester county ; Peter Marshall, of Lan- caster county ; Ebenezer Curry, of Philadelphia, merchant, and John Wallace, of Philadelphia, merchant, as partners and company; the Iron Works, called Corn- wall Furnace and Hopewell Forge, and four contiguous tracts of land of which said Peter Grubb is seized of in Lebanon township, containing in all six hundred and thirty-seven acres, whereon the furnace is erected, and two tracts of land in War- wick township, containing two hundred and eighteen acres, whereon a forge has been erected, for the period of twenty years at the annual rental of two hundred and fifty pounds; Peter Grubb to retain the use of the soil, when not occupied in the transaction of the iron business.

Having thus disposed of his iron works for a term of years he removed to Wil- mington, at about the date of the lease, as November 21, 1745, Bradford Monthly Meeting of Friends sent the following certificate to Newark, now Kennett Month- ly Meeting, under whose care the Wilmington Friends then were: "Whereas Peter Grubb has removed from amongst us and being now settled within the verge of youre Meeting, without requesting our certificate; Therefore this Meeting thought fit to send a few lines by way of certificate in Order to joyn him under your care &c."

His second wife, being a member of Concord Meeting at the time of her mar- riage to him, received a certificate to Sadsbury Meeting to be near her new resi-

I242

GRUBB

dence, and that meeting endorsed her certificate to Newark Meeting, November 6, 1746.

Peter Grubb died intestate at or near Wilmington about 1754, and his widow probably returned to her own people in Chester county, as her will, dated at Wil- mington, September 20, 1768, was proved in Chester county, October 1, 1770. His children were all by his first wife, Martha ( Bates) Wall.

Issue of Peter and Martha (Bates) Grubb:

CURTIS GRUBB, b. 1733, d. Jan. 22, 1789; of whom presently;

PETER GRUBB, JR, b. Sept. 8, 1740, d. Jan. 17, 1786; m. Mary Shippen Burd; of whom presently.

CURTIS GRUBB, eldest son of Peter and Martha (Bates) Grubb, born about 1733, probably in Chester county, Pennsylvania, married at Trinity (Old Swedes') Church, Wilmington, Delaware, April 11, 1754, Ann Few, but the union proving an unhappy one, they were divorced by an Act of Assembly, September 24, 1757, "Curtis Grubb, late of Wilmington, in the county of New Castle, but now of the Province of Maryland, Mariner," executed a power of attorney to his brother, Peter Grubb, of Province of Pennsylvania, to enable him to sell the property of said Curtis Grubb in Wilmington and in Chester county, and requiring him to account for the proceeds thereof to his uncle, Samuel Grubb.

At about this date Curtis Grubb sailed for Europe and was absent until about 1763. On his return he took up his residence at the Iron Works in Lebanon town- ship, and, the twenty years lease having expired, became an iron master and took charge of the furnace and forge established by his father, a two-thirds interest in which he had inherited from his father, in right of his "double share" as eldest son, under the intestate laws of that date. He had also inherited lands from his uncle Samuel, owning through these channels and subsequent purchase several hundred acres in Lancaster county, much of which was later owned by his son, Peter, who succeeded him as an "Iron master."

Curtis Grubb died January 22, 1789, leaving a widow, Ann (his third wife), who seems to have been the widow of his cousin, Samuel, son of Nathaniel; she died in 1795. Curtis Grubb was a member of the Committee of Safety of Lan- caster, 1774-5, and Sub-Lieutenant of the county with rank of Colonel in 1777.

PETER GRUBB, JR., second son of Peter and Martha ( Bates) Grubb, born Sep- tember 8, 1740, lost his mother at his birth. He probably removed with his father and step-mother to Wilmington, 1745, but after the death of his father, June 4, 1754, his uncle, Samuel, was appointed his guardian, and he probably resided with him in Chester county. He was constituted attorney for his brother, Curtis, as above stated, June 4, 1757, though only seventeen years of age, to sell the real estate owned by them jointly at Wilmington. He did not, however, fulfill the trust until his arrival at legal age, in the deed, dated February 19, 1762, he is styled as of Aston township, Chester county, but less than a month later had removed to his paternal inheritance in Warwick township, Lancaster county, being styled in deed, dated March 16, 1762, as of that township. He inherited the two hundred and twenty acre farm in Middletown, at the present site of Wawa, Chester county, from his uncle, Henry Grubb, but conveyed it to William Pennell, December 31, 1775.

Peter Grubb married, November 28, 1771, at "Tinian," Lancaster county, her

father's seat, Mary Shippen, born at Shippensburg, January 13, 1753, daughter of Col. James Burd, of the Provincial and Revolutionary Armies, by his wife, Sarah, daughter of Edward Shippen, of Lancaster, and sister of Chief Justice Edward Shippen. The spring following his marriage, Peter Grubb located at Hopewell Forge, Warwick township, Lancaster county, and engaged actively in the iron business in connection with his brother; retaining the one-third interest in the Cornwall furnace and ore beds, and in Hopewell forge, inherited from his father, and later purchasing a large tract of land and erecting Mount Hope furnace and forge.

From the very inception of the Revolutionary struggle, both he and his brother, Curtis were foremost in the patriot cause, both being elected to the Committee of Safety of Lancaster county, December 15, 1774, Curtis from Lebanon, and Peter from Warwick township. Curtis was commissioned by the Assembly of Penn- sylvania, June 15, 1775, Colonel of Lancaster County Associators, his commis- sion being signed by John Morton, Clerk of Assembly, and Peter was selected as one of the Deputies from Lancaster county to the Provincial Convention at Phila- delphia, January 23, 1775. Peter was elected Captain of the Warwick Associators on their first organization, and when the militia was organized into battalions he was commissioned Colonel of the Eighth Battalion, and with it took part in the Jersey campaign of 1776. The following order of Gen. Ewing is found among the Revolutionary archives :

"Directions to be Observed by Colonel Grubb.

"If the Enemy should attack the Ports of Bergen Point this night, or tomorrow morn- ing, and should be likely to force their way to Powles Hook, Colonel Grubb must immedi- ately throw himself into that Fortress with his whole Battalion and assist the Garrison in defending it to the last extremity. "James Ewing,

"August 20th. 1776.

"Brigadier General."

Peter Grubb was also a member of Assembly from Lancaster county during the Revolutionary period. His wife, Mary Shippen (Burd) Grubb, died at Hope- well Forge, February 23, 1774, and he January 17, 1786.

HENRY BATES GRUBB, second son of Colonel Peter and Mary Shippen (Burd) Grubb, born at Hopewell Forge, Lancaster county, February 6, 1774, like his father, lost his mother almost at birth. He was reared in the household of his maternal grandparents, Colonel James and Mary (Shippen) Burd, at "Tinian," their seat in Lancaster county. On arriving at mature years he assumed charge of the iron manufacturing interests inherited from his father, and made his home at the Mount Hope Furnace, erected by his father in 1784. He also purchased, 1802, Codorus Furnace and Forge, and early became one of the prominent iron masters of Pennsylvania. He died, intestate, at Mount Hope Furnace, March 9, 1823.

Henry Bates Grubb married (first) at Pine Grove, June 18, 1805, Ann, daugh- ter of John Carson, of Dauphin county, Pennsylvania. She died at Mount Hope Furnace, October 19, 1806, in her twenty-sixth year, leaving an infant son :
