"John Grubb, first of the family on these shores, came to America at the age of twenty-five, sailing from London in the ship 'Kent' in 1677. He arrived at Burlington, West Jersey, after a lengthy voyage and received 340 acres of land on Chester creek. As early as 1682 Grubb's Landing, Brandywine Hundred, Del. was known to fame. John Grubb became the possessor of a tract of land 600 acres in extent, was made one of the Colonial Justices in 1693 and was twice elected to the Colonial Assembly. The historian says of him, 'He came from that stock of men second to none on the face of the earth - the English country gentleman.'
He was the first manufacturer of leather in Penn's Province. In 1703 he left Grubb's Landing and located in Marcus Hook, Pa. where he presently invested heavily in land. He died there in March 1708.
Peter, son of John and Frances Vane Grubb, was the discoverer of the vast beds of iron ore at Cornwall, Lebanon County. In 1734 he became the proprietor of the celebrated Cornwall ore hills of almost pure magnetic ore. On this property he built the Hopewell Forge and the Cornwall Furnace, naming the latter after the mining town where his father was born. The Cornwall Furnace is the oldest in this country."
