General Notes: Husband - John Grubb

---

The first of the Grubb family on American shores, at the age of twenty-five years he came to mend his fortunes, which had been much impaired by the support he gave to the Royal cause. Sailing from London in the ship "Kent," in 1677, he arrived at Burlington, West Jersey, after a lengthy voyage, and received 340 acres of land on Chester creek. As early as 1682 Grubb's landing, Brandywine Hundred, Delaware, was known to fame. John Grubb became the possessor of a tract of land 600 acres in extent, was made one of the Colonial justices in 1693, and was twice elected to the Colonial Assembly. The historian says of him, "He came from that stock of men second to none on the face of the earth-the English country gentlemen." At Grubb's Landing he erected a tannery, and was the first manufacturer of leather in Penn's province. In 1703 he left Grubb's Landing and located in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, where he presently invested heavily in land. He was an extensive land owner in both Pennsylvania and Delaware. Like his ancestors, he was a devout supporter of the Established Church of England.
