Papers, 1730-1950.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122589811

These papers cover several generations of the Grubb family of Lancaster and the iron manufacturing interests over which they presided. The founder of the family business was Peter Grubb [I] and he is represented here by only a Peter Grubb and Curtis Grubb ledger, 1745-1750. A small portion of the papers consist of correspondence and financial papers, 1767-1793, relating to Peter Grubb's [II] military career as a Revolutionary War colonel in the 8th Battalion of Lancaster County, to his business career as owner of the several Pennsylvania iron forges, and to his estate. The bulk of the collection centers around Colonel Grubb's grandson, Clement B. Grubb. This material, 1823-1871, gives a partial account of his management of the family iron furnaces, a responsibility which he shared with his brother Edward B. Grubb until 1851. A record book, 1841-1862, contains furnace memorandum and accounts and Lebanon and Manheim Plank Road accounts and minutes. There is correspondence between Grubb and his siblings, particulary Edward B. Grubb, A. Bates Grubb, and Mary Grubb Parker, on the interconnected aspects of the E. & C. B. Grubb partnership and the estate of their father Henry Bates Grubb, as well as family news. Harriet B. Grubb's letters home to Clement and Mary Anne Brooke Grubb, 1852-1864, reveal the reactions of a daughter sent to boarding school in Philadelphia. There are personal receipted bills of Clement Grubb. The emotional difficultites of Henry Carson Grubb, a half-brother, also emerges from family letters to him and a few of his own notes, 1821-1873. Miscellaneous papers, deeds, land surveys, wills, and newspaper clippings complete the Grubb family material. Apparently unrelated to the Grubb family is Mrs. Mary Ella Johnson Stuart incoming family and social correspondence, 1858-1868, much of which is from Anne and Theodore Mead in Boston.
