• Notes

  DNA tests have established that Nicholas Grubb (1770 – c1825) is a descendant of John Grubb (1652 – 1708). This means that the Grubb family of Washington County, Virginia is a branch of the Grubb family of Brandywine Hundred, Delaware.Previously, Wilmer L. Grubb made a circumstantial case that Nicholas was from Delaware. The DNA tests confirm Wilmer’s theory. Therefore, the following is the revised bio for Nicholas.Nicholas Grubb (July 25, 1770 - c1825) was a tavern owner and farmer in Washington County, Virginia. The connection between the Washington County branch and the Delaware Grubb family was recently confirmed through DNA testing. Nicholas was last listed in Brandywine Hundred on November 28, 1791 and was first listed in Washington County five month later when he purchased two town lots in Abington, the county seat where he established a tavern. By 1795, he also owned a 184-acre farm in the area. In 1799, he inherited several parcels of land in Rowan County, North Carolina from his father, although there is no known evidence that he ever actually lived there. On February 11, 1795, Nicholas married Anna Davidson (unk - c1807) daughter of Andrew and Ann Davidson of Washington County, Virginia. They had four children. In March 1803, he was listed as a constable in Washington County. After Anna died, Nicholas remarried to a widowed neighbor, Amelia (Keys) Meek (unk - 1842) and had five additional children. He served six months as a sergeant during the War of 1812 and was stationed as a clerk near Fort Norfolk with the 5th Virginia Militia under captain James Meek. Soon after the 1820 census, Nicholas sold his tavern and resettled to Ray County, Missouri where he died. His widow lived there until about 1830 when her children scattered to other parts of Missouri.
