We've never done a Surname Saturday post before - so we thought we'd start with the obvious name - the one we were all born with! The history of the Grubb name in our family as we know it is:
1. Jeanne, Susan, Heather Grubb (that's us!)
2. David Austin Grubb, III (our father)
3. David Austin Grubb, II - Born April 3, 1910 in Wadsworth, Ohio. Died November 2, 1979 in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
4. David Austin Grubb - Born December 25, 1867 in Medina, Ohio. Died October 5, 1927 in Akron, Ohio.
5. Henry A. Grubb - Born October, 1835 in Manchester, Ohio. Died November 2, 1906 in Sharon Twp, Ohio.
6. John Grubb - Born most likely Pennsylvania. Died 1838 in Ohio.
Our current knowledge of our Grubb family line ends with John Grubb. We know that he married Margaret Keiser in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. They moved to Ohio in the early 1800's and had at least 8 children before John died.
My father took a DNA test to try to determine if he came from the same Grubb line as many others here in the United States. His DNA did not match that of a main group of Grubb's that settled first in Brandywine Hundred, Delaware.
The next step in our Grubb research is to go to Cumberland County and retrieve a copy of the marriage license of John Grubb and Margaret Keiser. Hopefully that document will provide some information about John and Margaret's parents - and we may find the next generation of our Grubb family line.
