General Notes: Husband - Peter Grubb
Under the old English law of entailment two-thirds of the property of his father went to his brother Curtis, he himself receiving one-third. Disagreements between the brothers followed, and Peter bought Mount Hope, where, in 1784, he erected a furnace.
He served as colonel in the 8th Battalion during the Revolutionary war.
He resided at Hopewell Forge, on Hammer Creek.
In the division of their father's estate Curtis received Cornwall Furnace and six thousand five hundred and twenty acres belonging to Cornwall. Peter Grubb, Jr., received Hopewell Forges and three thousand seven hundred and forty-one acres belonging with them.
On the 22d day of October, 1784, Jacob Graybill conveyed to Peter Grubb, Jr., two hundred and twelve and one-half acres, situated near the head of Big Chikis Creek, in Rapho and Warwick (later Penn) townships, and about three or four miles from Cornwall ore-banks, upon which he immediately afterwards built "Mount Hope Furnace." Being the owner of an undivided third of Cornwall estate, he made a will in 1784 (which was proved on the 21st day of January, 1786), by which he gave to his two sons, Burd Grubb and Henry Bates Grubb, his entire estate. They thus became owners of one-third of Cornwall. Burd Grubb, being the oldest son, received two-thirds of Mount Hope, and Henry Bates Grubb one-third. The Cornwall ore-banks were held as tenants in common, Curtis Grubb owning three-sixths, Robert Coleman (by purchase) one-sixth, and Burd and Henry Bates Grubb two-sixths.
