General Notes: Husband - Andrew Grubbs

---

He obtained such school training as was possible with the limited educational facilities of the day, and as a youth often drove pack horses laden with hickory ashes to Pittsburgh, there to sell his load to a soap factory in that place. What is known as Allegheny was then a vast thicket of wild grape vines and sapling woods and dense forests. Frequently in his journeys Mr. Grubbs would have the right-of-way momentarily disputed by a large bear, but bruin was less pugnacious than he appeared and readily relinquished whatever claim he may have had to the road, showing a marked preference for a shady, moss-carpeted glade. After his marriage Mr. Grubbs made his home on what became the site of Dorseyville, in 1837 moving to what later became the home of his son, Samuel Harvey. Aided by his son he cleared the farm, using some of the timber that had covered the land in the construction of log buildings, and there spent his remaining years.
