     Col. Curtis Grubb was born in 1731 at Pennsylvania, USA.¹
Col. Curtis Grubb died on 27 January 1789 at Cornwall, Lebanon Co., Pennsylvania, USA.¹
Col. Curtis Grubb was buried after 27 January 1789 at First Reformed Church Cemetery, Lebanon, Lebanon Co., Pennsylvania, USA; from Find A Grave.com:
     Birth:      1731, Pennsylvania, USA
     Death:      Jan. 27, 1789, Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, USA
     Curtis Grubb was a Cornwall, Pennsylvania ironmaster and patriot, the majority owner of the Cornwall Iron Works who served four terms in the Pennsylvania Assembly. He and his brother Peter Jr., second-generation members of the Grubb Family Iron Dynasty, inherited the ironworks from their father Peter Grubb and operated it successfully from about 1765 through the 1780's. They were significant providers of cannon and munitions to the Revolutionary War effort and were both elected militia Colonels, Curtis' was the 6th Lancaster Battalion. He was commissioned the military rank of Sub-lieutenant on October 23, 1777.
     Curtis' majority interest in the ironworks gradually fell out of the family's hands during the 1790's, to Robert Coleman who became Pennsylvania's first millionaire. Peter's heirs, however, developed their small remainder into one of Pennsylvania's largest iron empires through the late 1800's, operating out of Mount Hope in Lancaster County.
     Curtis' mother was Martha Bates Grubb, who died around 1741.
     Curtis Grubb was thrice married, first to Ann Few. His divorce from her in 1769 was granted by a special act of the Pennsylvania Assembly. He later married Elizabeth Carpenter, who died after the birth of their second child. He then had a long relationship with his cousin Hannah Bellarby Grubb, who bore him a son in 1781. His marriage to another cousin Ann Grubb in 1783 spawned serious inheritance issues that led to the breakup of the family iron business.

     Peter was a Patriot ironmaster and second-generation member of Pennsylvania's Grubb Family Iron Dynasty. He was the minority owner and operator of the Cornwall (Pennsylvania) Iron Works with his brother Curtis Grubb, from about 1765 until his death in 1786. The brothers provided significant cannon and munitions to the Revolutionary War effort, and were both elected Colonels of their respective militias, Peter's the 8th Lancaster Battalion.
     While most of the Cornwall Iron Works had fallen out of the Grubb family's hands by the late 1790's, Peter's heirs developed their remaining portion and became one of Pennsylvania's largest iron producers well into the late 1800's, operating out of Mount Hope in Manheim, Lancaster County.
     Peter married Mary Shippen Burd in 1771 and they had two sons. Following her death shortly after childbirth, he also had a relationship with his uncle Samuel Grubb's adopted daughter Hannah Bellarby Grubb, who had volunteered to help out in the household. She bore him a daughter, Hannah Elizabeth, but Peter was so distraught of his wife's death that he never married again.
