Forwood Gunther When: Monday, July 9, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. Where: Robinson House – One Naamans Road, Claymont Donation: $5.00 Emanuel Grubb was the first male child to be born of English parents in the new colony of Pennsylvania. Emanuel and another son, John Grubb II (1684-1757) settled in Claymont, in what was to be known as Grubb's Landing, and lived on "Stockton Plantation," a property of some 600 acres that would remain in the family possession for generations. Grubb's Landing was one of the first shipping points in New Castle County, Delaware, and was one of the points of access to the colonies by British ships during the American Revolution. Join C. Forwood Gunther, a direct descendant of Emanuel Grubb, as he takes us through a fascinating look at this historic family's contribution to our area's rich heritage. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
