Jacob
Grubb Family
Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Tennessee
Through recent DNA tests of
male family members we are certain that Jacob is related to the
Abraham Grubb line. From our genealogical research we
believe this line to go back to Christian Grubb who came from
Germany in 1729.

of the land on Sinking Creek. [Will of Christian Grubb]
1781- Abraham receives a land grant to 210 acres on the north
side of the Holston River, on Sinking Creekin the region that
eventually becomes Tennessee. [North Carolina Grants in Tenn.
1778-1791]
1784- Abraham sells the inherited land of Christian to Abel
Roberts. He also sell the land inherited from his mother' share.
1787- Jacob, Abraham's brother, received and grant to 200 acres
on both sides of Sinking Creek.
1791 / 1801 - the sons, John and Jacob marry the Shelley sisters.

1796- Tennessee Census, these census give no
other information than the names
Jacob

John
Grubb TN, Sullivan Co.
1796
Jacob

Grubb TN, Sullivan Co.,
1797
Abram
Grubb TN, Sullivan Co., 1812
Jacob
Grubb TN, Sullivan Co.,
1812 [Tennessee Census, 1796-91]
North Carolina Land Grant records show that in the early 1780's
both old Abraham and old Jacob received 200 and 210 acres of land
in consideration of 50 shillings per 100 acres. These were not
recorded in Sullivan Co deed books until Aug 9,1787...probably
because of the ending of the Revolution and Tennessee becoming a
State.
Aug. 9, 1787 NC Land Grant, to Abraham Grubb, 200 acres in
Sullivan Co.
(bordered partly on John Laughlin's land)
Aug. 9, 1787 NC Land Grant, to Jacob Grubb, 210 acres in
Sullivan Co.
May 18, 1811 John Laughlin sold to Abraham Grubb, 24 acres,
Sullivan Co.
Aug. 22, 1812 Jacob Grubb sold to Abraham (brother or
father???) 25 acres Sullivan Co.
Sep 24, 1812 Jacob Grubb sold to John Thomas, 134 acres in
Sullivan Acres.
(notice the re-occurrence of 134 acres later..this could be a
1/3 share of a 400 acre estate???)
Jan 6, 1814 Abraham sells to Jacob 134 acres, Sullivan Co.
(The legal description appears to be land adjoining some of
Jacob's land)
Jan 6, 1814 Jacob sells to Abraham 134 acres, Sullivan Co.
(This parcel seems to partly adjoin land owned by John Thomas)
Aug 29, 1816 Jacob of Grainger Co. sells to John Thomas 55
acres in Sullivan Co. (undoubtedly Jacob is ending up his
Sullivan Co. holdings)
1814- Abraham Grubb Jr goes off to fight in the War of 1812 against
the British and Creek Indians. In the pension application records
for Abram he states that he becomes fevered and crippled. We suspect
that he was so ill as to not be able to maintain the land that he
bought in 1812 from his brother.
Abram Grubb is listed as Private in Captain Robert Wilson's Company,
5th Battalion, Chester county, Pa. Militia.
By 1815 Abram Grubb Jr apparently needs to sell the land to survive
and transfers the land again to his brother Jacob Grubb. We still
don't have any thing to tell us whether the land was inherited from
his father or land that he bought from Abraham Sr.'s brother Jacob.
