Grubb family.
The Grubb family were ironmasters in Lancaster, York, and Dauphin Counties, Pennsylvania, for a period of over 150 years.
Peter Grubb (1692-1754) discovered the Cornwall ore hills, the richest iron ore deposits east of Lake Superior, between 1730 and 1734 and built the Hopewell Forges and Cornwall Furnace. The properties were passed to his sons, Curtis Grubb (1733-1789) and Peter Grubb (1740-1786), with Curtis receiving a double portion. Curtis' heirs sold most of his interest at Cornwall to Robert Coleman, formerly their clerk, laying the foundation of the Coleman family fortune.
