William A. Grubbs Sr. was born four months and two days, (6 October 1776), after our forefathers declared independence from England. Born in Chesterfield District, South Carolina, he was the first child of Enoch Grubbs Sr. and his first wife, Floried K. Burton. He married Elizabeth (possibly Garvery), about 1796. She was born about 1778 in South Carolina. In 1800, William Grubbs was living in the Camden District of Fairfield County, South Carolina. All seventeen children of William Grubbs Sr. were born in South Carolina before moving to what was then known as Pike County, Alabama about 1830. The neighbors of William Grubbs in South Carolina included the Loveless, Deshazo and DeLoach families. It is believed that some of these families traveled in pioneer caravans from the Carolinas along with the Grubbs. In 1830 William Grubbs Sr. patented land west of Clio near Pea River. This land was in Pike County at the time as Barbour had yet to be created. Between 1836 and 1848, four of William Grubbs children had entered into land near his original patent. William Grubbs Sr. died 26 February 1849. His wife Elizabeth, at the age of seventy-two, was enumerated in the home of son Worthy J. Grubbs in the 1850 census. After raising seventeen children, she died at the age of ninety-eight, 21 May 1886. William and Elizabeth Grubbs are buried in the abandoned Bennett Cemetery located off County Rd. 5, 2.8 miles north of SR 10 in Southwestern Barbour County. Probable issue of William A.

Enoch Grubbs Sr. was born about 1755. It is believed that he came to South Carolina from Virginia but this has not yet been proved. While his parents have not been determined so far, we have identified one possible sibling; a brother named James Grubbs. It has been said that Enoch Grubbs was raised in an old community know as Feasterville that was associated with the Scotch-Irish settlers. Enoch Grubbs first wife was Floried K. Burton, (1757-1812), whom he married about 1775. His second wife, Mary Henson, born 1780, was the mother of his last six children. They were wed about 1815. We know that he was in the Camden District of Fairfield County, South Carolina as early as 1774. He died in Fairfield County about 1832. It is not know where he is buried. Enoch Grubbs Sr. joined the South Carolina militia during the Revolutionary War. He served under Captains Anderson, Thomas, and Liles and participated in the Battle of Four Holes in November 1781. Four Holes is a branch of the Edisto River in south Central South Carolina. The records indicated that Enoch Grubbs provided oats for the Calvary under Colonel Washington, (probably Will Washington), during the Revolution. There was also some indication that he may have participated in the battle at Cowpens. Probable issue of Enoch Grubbs Sr. and Floried K. Burton: · William A. Grubbs Sr., born in Fairfield County, South Carolina, 6 October 1776 - died Barbour County, Alabama 26 February 1849, married Elizabeth (possibly Garvery), ca 1896. · Mary (Martha?) Grubbs, born 1777 in Fairfield Co., SC - died by 1816, married John Jennings. · Rhoda Grubbs, born 1779 in Fairfield Co., SC - died 13 February 1841, married John Hedgepath in 1800. · Sarah Grubbs, born 1782 in Fairfield Co., SC - died 11 June 1811, married (first name unknown) Lott · Enoch Grubbs Jr., born April 1783 in Fairfield Co., SC - died January 1845, married (1) Elizabeth (last name unknown), (2)Sarah Rhoda Parnell, 1799. · John Grubbs, born ca 1785 in Fairfield Co., SC - died ?, married Babe Banks.

Terri These OCR lists are so intriguing. My father told me a story about one of his LEE cousins. I haven't got the first name straight, yet, whether it's Holman or Coleman. I've been assuming this is another case of giving a child a family surname as its first name. And here, on the list are Coleman, Holleman, and Holliman. Does anyone have a take on how these last two would be pronounced? With a long O to rhyme w/Coleman? Or with a short O like in Holland? Anyone know any LEEs with such a name, probably born in the first part of the 1900s? Sandra

Homer, Bluff City Times, Thursday, June 9, 1870 "Married at the home of the bride's father, Dr. Wm.H. THORNTON, in Eufaula, by Rev. M.B. Wharton, G.L.COMER and Miss Laura V. THORTON." I am almost certain this is St. George Legare Comer, son of John F. and Catherine COMER. In 1850, he appears in the census with his parents as a 3 year old - St. George L., and in 1860 as 14 year old Legare. If you can, look at the Comer family history at: http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Comer_Family >From that web site: "He married Catharine Lucinda Drewry (d. 1898) in 1841, and they had six sons: Hugh Moss Comer (1842-1900); John Wallace Comer (1845-1919); St. George Legare Comer (1847-1870); U.S. senator and Alabama governor Braxton Bragg Comer (1848-1919); John Fletcher Comer, Jr. (1854-1927); and Edward Trippe Comer (1856-1927). There was also at least one daughter in the family. " Be interesting to see some of the pictures the web site mentions - especially the photograph of John Wallace Comer in Civil War uniform with his slave, Burrell.
