General Notes: Husband - Conrad Grubbs

---

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and at an early day came to Allegheny County, where he became the owner of a large tract of land on Pine creek, his death occurring in that place when he had attained an age of more than ninety years. He was a farmer all of his life. Politically he was a Whig, and was a member of the German Reformed Church.

The Grubbs family have been long resident in Pennsylvania, those of the name having come from Lancaster to Allegheny County. There is a tradition in the family relative to a pioneer ancestor whose life was saved in a most unusual manner and one which displays in a striking manner the fidelity, devotion and sagacity of the animal that has proved himself man's best friend, the dog. This Grubbs of an early day had settled near Fort Duquesne and had laid claim to a small tract of land. He had but just arrived in the vicinity and as yet had erected no house for his family, a large tent being their only shelter from the elements. Nor could all of the day be devoted to improving the quarters of the family, for the production of food stuff was necessary. The father had gone to his corn patch some distance away, armed as usual, and having taken the customary precautions against his family's being surprised by an Indian attack. In the course of his labors he strayed farther from his musket than he realized, a fact brought home to him by feeling a blinding pain. He fell to the ground, and his Indian assailant, who, hidden behind bushes, had awaited just such a moment of indiscretion, took his gun and left him for dead. He was indeed sorely wounded and his life blood would have ebbed fast had not his faithful canine, anxious at his master's sad plight, dashed back to the settlement and brought aid. The flow of blood was staunched, and the unfortunate man, though fortunate in such a devoted companion, revived.
