Anne, If Peter Grob served in the Lancaster militia, the published "Pennsylvania Archives" (PA) is the place to look. You can view the "Pennsylvania Archives" on Footnote.com for free. Footnote is a subscription service, but you can view the PA for free. The book "Revolutionary Patriots of Lancaster County, PA 1775-1783" by Henry C. Peden summarizes information on patriots as found in the published "Pennsylvania Archives," Second Series, vol. XIII. There are no entries for Peter Grob, but there are 3 entries for Peter Grubb: 1) Peter Grubb, Captain, Militia Company, Warwick Twp, 1775. Also Col. eighth Battalion, etc. (pp. 305, 263, 340, 341) 2) Peter Grubb, took Oath of Allegiance in Heidelberg Twp in June 1778. (p. 426) 3) Peter Grubb, private, militia, Warwick Twp, 1775, etc. (p. 305) Note: he served under the Capt Peter Grubb noted above. There is also an entry for a Peter Grubb in the DAR Patriot Index. This Peter was b. 8 Sep 1740 in Lancaster; d. 17 Jan 1786 in Lancaster. He was a Colonel married to Mary Shippen Burd. He is apparently entry #1 above. You can check HeritageQuest to see if your Peter Grob received either a pension or bounty land for serving in the Continental Army. HeritageQuest is available at most libraries, and it may be accessible to you at home just by inputting your library card number. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Kane" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:33 PM Subject: [PALANCAS] Peter Grob > Peter Grob signed the Oath of Allegiance in Lancaster on Sept. 27th, > 1777, as recorded in Deed Book L.

Thank you, Bob and Pam, for your suggestions. My Peter Grob/Grubb was born in Germany in 1751 and came to Philadelphia in 1765 with his mother and siblings. It is hard to find records for him because his name is often confused with the Peter Grubb from Lancaster Co. who served as a Capt. and Colonel (a member of the Grubb family who had extensive land holdings and smelters).
