I am seeking any information on Enoch GRUBBS, Sr. or Florid K. BURTON GRUBBS, my gggg grandparents. I have been told that they owned property in NC & SC though I have not been able to find any record of residence or property ownership in NC. I am seeking information on, or which will lead me to, their parents &/or siblings, where these families were before Fairfield District, SC & where the "extended" family went. However, any information will be very much appreciated including information on the area, the people of the area, customs for the 1700s, where I might find documents or books on the people & time, etc.. ( I have "hit the brick wall" with Enoch GRUBBS, Sr. & Florid K. BURTON). I have been told that Enoch GRUBBS, Sr. & Florid K. BURTON GRUBBS lived in the Beaver Creek area. (Also that they are buried there.) I have a copy of Enoch GRUBBS, Sr.'s will, dated July 13, 1831 & proved on September 24, 1832, in which he gives his daughter, Rhoda GRUBBS HEDGEPATH, "one hundred acres of land or the half of the Richardson tract of Land whereon I formerly lived". The other half of the Richardson tract was to be divided between his sons, Enoch GRUBBS, Jr. & John GRUBBS. The will mentions other land holdings & property but does not say where except that he was presently living on some of the property. The will names his second wife Mary HENSON GRUBBS as Executrix & friends, Soloman COLEMAN & Samuel FANT, as Executors. The will was witnessed by: Simson FREE, William FREE & William GOSA (letters are smudged so I'm not sure of the Gosa spelling). Obviously, Enoch GRUBBS, Sr. could not write since his will bears his "mark" by his printed name. Curiously, there are also the letters: LS at the end of his name & he has drawn a "curlique" circle around them. (Does anyone know what that means?). I would also like to hear from anyone who knows anything about the information mentioned in this paragraph. Again, any information will be appreciated.

According to the 1850 Union County, MS (then Pontotoc County) census, dated October 17, 1850, Toliver Hedgepath GRUBBS was residing in Union County, MS, was born in SC & was 32 years old at that time. Though Toliver did have a son named Toliver, his son was born June 4, 1860.
