It is my understanding that he came to the states via south america inthe late 1800's. I have not been able to verify this piece of information. However I haveit from recentlydiscovered cousins in New Jersey and Florida that Charles Adam Grob settled first in Thomaston Maine where he opened a brickmaking business. He then moved to Red Bank New Jersey where he opened anotherbrick yard. Also that this yard supplied a great amount of the brick used in the Empire State building. He had sevensons, I believe,none of which still survive. My father Albert Grob was the youngest, born in Maine in 1916. I have a brother Darryl, fire chief of Aspen Colorado, Paul who is in construction. Iama retired school teacher who now works as a corrections office, notthatmuch of a change really, in a local correctional institution. Hope this can be of some use to you.
