 General Notes:
John Grubb's occupation is given as tanner in his will dated February 12, 1708. Children named are Charity, wife of Richard Beeson, Phebe, Emanuel, John, Joseph, Henry, Samuel, Nathaniel, and Peter. Executors of the will were son John and wife Frances. John Grubb was one of over thirty petitioners receiving land in Pennsylvania on September 5, 1682, according to records of the court of New Castle. He received 200 acres of land. Later tax records indicate the land was located on the north side of Brandy Wine (sic) Creek. Whether this is the same land as that in Chichester Town we are not certain (see 1701 map of Chichester Town <http://www.geocities.com/nadineholder/Chester1.jpg>). John Grubb died in Marcus Hook which is another name for Chichester Town.
