Narrative
Roundhead, Anabaptist, and later a Quaker, of Ravensthorpe, Northamptonshire; Annaghs (or Annis) Castle, Co. Kilkenny; Meylers (or Millers) Park, Co. Wexford
From a post by David N. Grubb to http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/grubb/165/
The Irish branch of the family descended from John Grubb (1620 -1696) who was born Ravensthorp, Northamptonshire, and became a soldier in Cromwell's army. As a reward for his service he was given 1,000 acres and Annaghs Castle in County Kilkenny. In August 1656, John, his wife Mary Towers, and their five children sailed from Bristol on a four-day voyage to Waterford. About 1676, John became a Quaker. Four years later, Mary died and John remarried. A son named John Jr. was born the next year.

Hedges, who was commanded by the Navy Couoncil to take such vessels as were ready, bound for Waterford, Youghall and Cork." primary source? |
