The only thing I know about Rebecca's parents is from her death record which says her Father's name was George. It also lists Mother as unknown. But I found a George Grubb in 1860 in Hawkins County TN census with wife, Elizabeth, and daughters, Martha, Rebecca, Sarah and Matilda. I have not yet found any of them in 1870. I see where your Martha married in 1870. Did she stay in the Hawkins and Greene County area or did they move away? Would like to claim this Rebecca as mine. I have Rebecca's birth date as June 1, 1848. Re: Martha E. Grubbs Author: David L. McLain Date: 25 Jan 2005 1:35 AM GMT Classification: Query I believe them to be the same. I had my Martha born in 1847, and married May 15, 1870. Martha's middle name was probably Elizabeth, named for her mother. How old was George Grubb in 1860, and the other daughters Sarah, and Matilda? I'm not sure if they stayed in the same area, but I believe they may have left since none of my older relatives ever heard much about them. I'm persuing this farther, and will keep you advised. My G. Grandfather and child of Martha was M. Edward Richards, born in 1873. He married Alice E. Bussell, daughter of William Rufus Bussell, and Julia Ann Babb. I think we are cousins.
