■■ INTRODUCTION.
To the Members of the Stubbs Family:
This little pamphlet is printed for private distribution only.
copy will i3€ presented to each member of the family, with tne
hope that after a close examination a report will be made of all
errors, either of omission or commission, to the undersigned for
correction in the next edition.
The author is painfully aware of its imperfections, but it is the
best that he could extort from the various branches of the family
after the expenditure of much time and labor. On account of
apathy and indifference, his letters of inquiry were frequently un-
answered ; hence the incompleteness of several lines. His thanks
are due, however, and are hereby tendered to several members for
the valuable assistance given him.
While conscious of the incompleteness of his work, the author
is yet emboldened to publish what he has, realizing that the infor-
mation contained herein is too valuable to be withheld from print.
He hopes in the future to publish a revised and more comple-
edition, and will do so at an early day if every member of
family will assist in making the necessary corrections and am
ments.
Whatever the merits of this little pamphlet may be, it is g --"-
to the family with the modest hope that it may stimulate each and
every member to nobler deeds and higher aspirations.

PREFACE.
In writing of the Stubbs family every effort has been made Lo
secure all the information possible, both in England and America.
There is accordingly given, first, a chapter embodying "glean-
ings" that have been gathered from various sources in England,
mainly, however, from a delightful little volume, "The Lays and
Leaves of the Forest" (of Knaresborough), by Rev. Thos. Parkin-
son— whose mother was a Stubbs.
The next chapter is devoted to the early settlers by the name
of Stubbs in America, with their land grants, etc.
The remainder of the pamphlet is devoted to the descendants
of John Stubbs of Cappahosic, the earliest immigrant to Virginia
(about 1652), w^ho is believed lo be the ancestor of all the South-
ern Stubbses.
CHAPTER I.
gleanings froai england-
The Origin of the Family of Stubbs
is by common consent located in the Forest of Knaresborough,
Yorkshire, England. This Royal Forest of Knaresborough is a
range of country about twenty miles in length and eight in width,
diversified with mountain and moor, rocky eminences and fertile
valleys, and extending from Knaresborough westward and south-
westward to the heather-clad hills overlooking Bolton Abbey.
Originally it was a wild and rugged district with rich, heavily-
wooded valleys, and uplands covered with ferns and heathers, a
place admirably adapted as a refuge for the superstitions of the
old British and Saxon creeds. In mediaeval times it was sur-
rounded by feudal strongholds and ecclesiastical establishments
of the first magnitude. Later the lowlands were enclosed and cul-
tivated, but wide, wild uncultivated tracts of great extent re-
mained open and unclaimed until the end of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury, when by Act of Parliament it was enclosed.
Modern times have completely changed the original scenes, and
to-day nothing remains of the Forest but its name. The town of
Leeds has taken possession of the Washburn valley and trans-
formed it into a chain of reservoirs to supply water to the city.
An obscure hamlet has risen into a fashionable, world-famed town
of Harrogate, where healing waters and bracing breezes attract
the invalid from every clime. Eugene Aram, Blind Jack of
Knaresborough and the famous Mother Shipton are some of the
local characters and celebrities of this Forest.
In this Forest originated many of the families whose names are
familiar to us all. The Yorkshire Archaeological Society has re-
cently published a roll for the whole countv of Yorkshire, taken
from the rolls of the King's Exchequer of the names who paid a
subsidy or tax to the King in the second year of King Richard II.
(June, 1378, to June, 1379). The text is in Latin, but can be
easily translated. In this list are many familiar names— some in
their primitive spelling, indicating their origin. Here are some
of them: Richard Wil-son (that is, Richard, the son of Wil) ;
Thomas Atkyns-son, Adam Alice-son. Richard Nelle-son, Agnes
Nelle-doghter, John de Beckwith, William del Hall, William del
West. John Cowhird, Richard Carter, Richard Lyster (Lister, /'. e.,

Richard the Dyer), Agnes Parcour (the park keeper, now
Parker), Richard Polayn (now Pullein, a forest name derivt'i
from "Pullus," a colt given to the keeper of the Royal stud",.
William Stubbe (the ancestor at an early date of the late illus-
trious Right Rev. William Stubbs, Bishop of Oxford), William
de Thakwra (a name made famous by his descendant William
Makepeace Thackeray), Elias Moor-house, Richard Schiphird
{i. e., Sheep-herd, now Shepard), Thomas del Holme (/. e., of the
"holm"" or flat land by the water, now Holmes), Margaret Web-
ster (a trade name, a weaver), Robert Fflesshewer (a flesh cutter
or butcher, now Fletcher).
Besides the above may be found the familiar names of Legitt,
Hudson, Banks, Simpson, Swynton, Deen, Brewstir, Colyer, John-
son. Robynson, Scott, Moss, Hill, Gyll, Neusom, Turpyn, Taillour,
Young, Wright, Milner, Boiler, Bland and others.
From a poem called "The Hunt," given in "The Lays and
Leaves of the Forest"' (of Knaresborough), by the Rev. Thomas
Parkinson, the following verses are selected:
"John Jeffrey of 'The Trees' is there,
And Stubbs of Whitewall Nook —
Guy Palmes of Lindley th' sport to share
Hath come o'er moor and brook."
"But oft a root though hid away
By shoot is not unknown,
And Fairfax, Stubbs and Thackeray
Are names the world doth own."
The Stubbses were then foresters from the Royal Forest of
Knaresborough. As before mentioned, in the subsidy roll of the
second year of Richard H. (1378-1379), for the Villa de Clynt,
occurs the entry, Willelmus .Stu])be et uxor :
"The home of William Stubbe and his wife was at Birstwith,
then included in Villa de Clynt."
William was probably the first who bore the name of Stubbe.
The name was not fixed fifty years afterward, as his grandsons
were still called "dc Stubbe" or "Stubbes." The name is thought
to be derived from "stob" or "stub," the root end of a broken tree.
Such an object may have existed in the vicinity of the family
residence, and hence the members would receive the designation
"de," i. e., of Stubb or Stubbs. (See "Lay and Leaves of the For-
est," by Rev. Thomas Parkinson.)
The Yorkshire Archaeological Society's Journal mentions that
"about 1350 A. D. flourished Thomas de Stubbes, or Stubs, who
was born in Yorkshire and entered the order of Black Friars at
York and became a Master of Theology. He was remarkable for
ecclesiastical learning and religious life. He was ordained Priest

i^rooeeded."
rom a sketch of the ancestry of the late Bishop William Stubbs
Oxford, it appears that —
"William Stubbe of 1379 A. D. Imd a son also named William,
and his son, John de Stubbes, in 1430 was an ofBcer, — the Grave
of the Forest of Knaresborough. John de Stubbes' son, William
Stubbes, resided at Ripon, but John de Stubbes' property at Birst-
with descended in 1442 to William's son Thomas. This Thomas
was followed in succession by his son, also named Thomas, in
1490. This second Thomas was also 'Grave of the Forest,' and
therefore had probably returned to the residence at Birstwith in
1498. His brother, William Stubbs, was chaplain in 15 16 to the
Shepherd Lord Clifford of Skipton and Barden. Thomas Stubbs
died in 1535, and his son and successor, Miles Stubbs, died in
1555. Miles left two sons — William, the elder, married Alice
Belton and went to reside at Fellisclift'e ; John, the other brother,
also resided at same place. William of Felliscliffe died in 1575.
His third son was Thomas Stubbs, who resided at Whitewall and
died there in 1648, aged 75 years. Thomas the son of Thomas of
Whitewall was connected by marriage with the Atkinsons, who
held one of the principal farms under the Ingilby family of Ripley
at Haverah Park, and between 1664 and 1672 he succeeded
Thomas Atkinson there as tenant. His son, Thomas Stubbs, born
1650, married Alice Simpson of Clint and died in 1716.
"Though tenants on the farm of Haverah Park the family was
of substantial yeoman rank, owning considerable property in the
neighborhood. The eldest son of Thomas, and his successor on
the farm, was John Stubbs, who had numerous descent. The
fourth son of Thomas was Joseph Stubbs, who broke away from
the family home and resided at Graystone Plain in Felliscliffe.
He had three sons — Thomas, Joseph and William — who resided in
London and from whom descended the Rev. Stewart Dixon
Stuhbs, vicar of St. James's, Pentonville. Thomas Stubbs, the
eldest son, born in 1735, removed to Ripley and thence he or his
descendants successively to Boroughbridge and Knaresborough,
where, in the last generation, the family occupied the position of
Wise merchants, bankers and solicitors. At Knaresborough in
1S25 the great-grandson of Thomas Stubbs of Ripley was born.
Bishop William Stubbs, the subject of this article."
-■ study of the pedigree of Bishop Stubbs will show many
H: ches unaccounted for. It is suggested by one of our English
•ns that a son of John, the son of Miles above, went to London

and may be the progenitor of the John Stubbs who came early t -
Virginia. In a recent letter to the writer from Rev. Charles Wil-
liam Stubbs, D. D., Dean of Ely, given below, mention is made ( '
Stubbses in later times in Shropshire, Suffolk and London.
In 1620 "Mr. Stubbs" bought of Mr. Thomas Maddox for £2^^
two shares in the Virginia Company of London. Mr. Stubbs was
also member of the London Company in London in 1622 (Brown's
Genesis of V. S., i^age 940). That a descendant of this Mr.
Stubbs came to Virginia and settled is highly probable.
In Burke's General Armory we fiind "Lawrence Stubbs and
Richard Stubbs' (1525) arms in the chapel Balliol College, Ox-
ford." (Vist. Oxon. 1574.)
"Sa. on a chevron engrailed between in chief two lilies and in
base a pheon ar. three leopards' faces az. a chief gu. charged
with two keys saltirewise between as many trunks of trees erad-
icated and couped or. pierced through with arrow of the second."
The coat of arms as given by our English cousins is described
as follows :
"Field of shield azure, with bend in gold upon which are three
buckles in sable. L^pon the field are stags' horns with an arrow
head above them. The stag's head above is the same which Ed-
ward I. of England used upon his coat of arms.
The motto is Aequo adeste aninio (Be of just mind).
Arms: Az. on a bend or. between three stag's horns pieroecl with
arrows, three buckles sa.
Crest: A stag's head.
Motto : Aequo adeste aninio. Be ye ready with ^mruffled courage.

The following is a copy of letter received from Rev. Charles
William Stubbs, D. D., Dean of Ely :
"Deanery Ely, 24th Mar., '02.
"My Dear Sir — There is little doubt, I think, that Knaresbor-
ough Forest is the original home of the Stubbs, the village of
Fewston and its neighborhood not far from the Harrogate
being its centre. My grandfather, who at one time lived at New
Hall, a substantial yeoman farmer and corn factor, close to Fews-
ton, and the family may be traced back steadily to the time of
Richard II., when William Stubbe, 1379, is found on the roll. In
1430 his grandson, John de Stubbes, was "reeve" of the Forest of
Knaresborough, so on down through the centuries, Johns, Wil-
liams, Thomases, for the most part. There are Stubbses also in
later times to be found in Shropshire, Suffolk and London. In
this neighborhood one of the oldest of the Norman families, the
Le Stranges, married an Alice Stubbs of Ledgeford, and I saw
the other day over the old Inigo Jones gateway carved the arms
of Sir Harmon Le Strange quartered with those of his wife. The
Stubbs arms of course you know. The Stubbs type of build and
face is, I fancy, very persistent. Bishop Stubbs and myself trace
back to a common ancestor two centuries, but our friends have
said there was a distinct family likeness, especially of coloring.
The habit of blushing pretty late in life is a noticeable trait and
one of which I at least do not choose to be asliamed. A son
of the Shropshire stock whom I knew in Liverpool was possessed
of the same physical heredity.
"Historically I suppose we may be proud of Thomas the Do-
minican Monk of York ; Historian Philip Stubbs, author of
Anatomy and Malady; John Stubbs, the Puritan pamphleteer;
George Stubbs, the great horse painter.
"If I come to America again, as I may possibly do next winter,
we must try to meet. I need hardly say that if you are in England
I shall be glad to welcome you here.
"Cousinly yours,
"Charles W. Stubbs."
10 The Descendants of John Stuhbs.
Illustrious Members of the Family.
Biographical dictionaries contain accounts of several Stubbses
who have become famous. Allusion has already been made to
Thomas the Dominican ]\Ionk ; to the late Right Rev. William
Stubbs, D. D., LL. D., Bishop of Oxford; to the Rev. Charles
W. Stubbs, D. D., Dean of Ely, and to Rev. Stewart Dixon
Stubbs, D. D., Vicar of St. James.
Another distinguished minister was John Stubbs, who, accord-
ing to Fox's Journal, was a very zealous itinerant Quaker
preacher. He traveled extensively in England, Scotland, Ireland,
Wales and Holland. He was a man of great literary attainments
and was one of those who out of thirty languages paved the way
of "thee" and "thou" as the words with which to address a single
person. He finally came to America with Fox, and seems never
to have returned.
In the legal and political world two distinguished representa-
tives of the Stubbs family are found.
First, John Stubbs, an English lawyer and Puritan, born 1540.
He wrote a pamphlet against Queen Elizabeth's marriage with
the Duke of Anjou, entitled "The Discovery of a Gaping Gulf
Wherein England is Like to be Swallowed by Another French
Marriage," and was condemned to lose his right hand. The sen-
tence was carried out and the intrepid lawyer raised his cap with
the other hand and said, "God save the Queen."
Second, Henry Stubbs was a great English scholar and writer,
born in 163 1, in Lincolnshire. He joined the party of Cromwell
during the civil war and wrote "A Vindication of Sir Harry
Vane," "Light Shining Out of Darkness," and other works. After
the .restoration he went over to the royalists and published numer-
ous attacks upon his former friends. He was accidentally drowned
in 1676.
George Stubbs, born 1724 in Liverpool, was a very distin-
guished painter. Possessed of an extensive knowledge of anat-
omy, he excelled in delineating animals, particularly horses. He
published in 1766 a treatise on "The Anatomy of the Horse." His
picture of the "Grosvenor Hunt" is esteemed a masterpiece. He
died in 1806.
But the most distinguished member of the family, past or pres-
ent, was the great prelate and historian, to whom frequent men-
tion has already been made. Bishop William Stubbs of Oxford,
whose death recently occurred. Born at Knaresborough in 1825
and educated at Christ Church, Oxford, he became a fellow of
Trinity and was ordained in 1848. He became Regius Professor
of History at Oxford in 1866, Bishop of Chester in 1884. and
Illustrious Members of the Family. ii
Bishop of Oxford in 1888. He was author of many works. His
work, "The Constitutional History of England," is acknowledged
the world over as a standard authority. He was nominated on
behalf of the Crown in 1879 by the late Earl of Beaconsfield to
the canonry. The graceful act on the part of the Premier was
received by all parties with much favor as the recognition of great
erudition and untiring industry, and merited the encomium of
the "Review" as being equally to the honor "of him who gave and
him who took."
Bishop Stubbs married, 1859, Catherine Dellar of Naverstock
and had issue :
(i) William Walter, b. 1866, now Assistant Master at Dal-
wich College; (2) Launcelot Henlock Ascough, b. 1869;
(3) Lawrence Morley, b. 1874; (4) Wilfred Thomas, b.
1875; (5) Reginald Edward, b. 1876; (6) Katherine Isa-
bella, b. 1863.
CHAPTER II.
Immigratiox to America.
Mention has already been made of the purchase by ^Ir. Stubbs
of Mr. Thomas Maddox for £25 two shares of the Virginia
Company of London, Nov. 13th, 1620. He was also a member
of the London Company in 1622. Probably John, the son of this
man, settled in Virginia, as the old court records show a John
Stubbs in \lrginia in 1671. It is highly probable that John pat-
ented lands in Virginia as early as 1652, since we find on the
land books at Richmond that John repatented 300 acres, patented
by William Roberts in 1652 and subsequently escheated to the
commonwealth. In this patent, given below, this land adjoined
the lands of said Stubbs, because in "its metes and bounds" it
mentions one of them as the said "Stubbs spring." It is believed
that this John or his father patented before this a large tract ad-
joining this (Roberts') tract, since he was possessed later of a
large area. He also, in 1706, obtained the escheated lands of
Christopher Webster, 150 acres. In 1703 he patents 50 acres
(i head right) betwixt the lands of Augustine Warner, Mr.
Woll and William Boiling, in another part of the county, now a
part of W^hite Marsh ("Stubbs"). The records of Gloucester
county, \'irginia, were destroyed in 1820 and again during the
late civil war, and hence the absence of valuable information con-
cerning the early settlers of this county. The land books at
Richmond and the records of Petsworth and Abingdon Churches
in Gloucester county are the chief sources of information at this
early date.
Here are the copies of the patents from the land books at Rich-
mond :
"In 1652 William Roberts patents 300 acres of land on the N.
side of York River and N. W. side and at ye mouth of Jones
Creek, bounded as follows : South up Jones Creek, east upon a
white marsh, north upon the lands of Ed. West upon York River."
(V^ol. X.. page 214.)
This land was escheated to the commonwealth and in 1714
John Stul^lis repatented it, and it is thus described on the Land
Land Patents. 13
Book, Vol. X., page 537: "In Petso (Petswortli) parish, Glou-
cester county, Virginia, beginning on Jones Creek and running
along a gut, and thence on south side to the mouth of said gut,
and thence N. W. to an ash tree, and thence to a holly bush in a
white marsh, and thence N. 80° to a small pine and hickory stand-
ing near the branch, and on, crossing the head of Fleming's little
creek, and then N. E. 74 poles, etc., to the marsh of said creek,
and thence south near to the said Stitbbs' spring, and thence S.
to York River, and thence down the river 104 poles to the begin-
ning."
This land adjoined the land upon which the original home of
John Stubbs was located, and since all of this section was patented
about 1652, soon after the opening of the county to settlers, it is
highly probable that John Stul)bs originally patented his home
tract about the same time that William Roberts did the escheated
tract.
In 1703 John Stubbs patents 50 acres ( i Head right, John
Maytor) in Abingdon parish, Gloucester county, Virginia, be-
twixt the lands of Augustine Warner, Mr. Woll and Wm. Boiling.
Vol. IX., page 535.
In 1702 John Stubbs patents 150 acres, viz. : "Christopher Web-
ster's escheated land as per William Jones, deputy of Mathew
Pope, escheator of same county, and a jury sworn before him for
that purpose, 15th May, 1701, John Stubbs, of County of Glou-
cester, hath made composition, etc., this 25th May, 1702. ffr.
Nicholson, Gov."
These lands were situated on York River and Jones Creek, and
included the Cappahosic tract, together with "Valley Front" and
"Concord" (formerly Mulberry Hall), now owned by the writer.
John Stubbs "the younger," in 1786, sold Cappahosic out of the
family. It was repurchased by the father of the author in 1852,
and by him sold in 1868. "Valley Front" and "Concord," parts of
the original tract, are still held in the family. At "Valley Front"
is situated the old home, and here, too, is the burying ground of
ihe Stubbses.
In the old General Court records of Virginia occurs a suit in
1 67 1 between John Stubbs and Richard Moore, with""Lawfence
Smith and Richard Booker appointed by court to adjust the dif-
ferences."
In the York records in 1672 is a suit of John Stubbs vs.
William Gilbert.
In 1698-99 and '02 the names of John and Richard Stubbs occur
several times.
14 TJie Descendants of John Stubbs.
In 1702 Richard Stubbs was arrested by John Young for debt,
and, said Young not prosecuting, was discharged. This is the
last time that his name is found in Virginia.
It may be mentioned here that in 1704 a Richard Stubbs is
among the petitioners for a court in the precinct of Neckham, in
County of Bath, North CaroHna (N. C. H. & G. Reg., Vol. I., No.
3, page 162). It is almost certain that this Richard moved from
Gloucester county, Virginia, to Bath county, North Carolina, and
became the ancestor of all of the North and South Carolina
Stubbses, as will be shown later.
. From the Abingdon parish record the following are taken :
"Sus [anna] dau. of John and Susannah Stubbs, b. Aug. ye
9th, 1678.
Mildred, dau. of Capt. John and Eliz'th Smith, b. April, 1699.

Besides the above there are baptisms of slaves: from 1702 to
1714, belonging to "Mrs. Stubbs;" from 1714 to 1718, belonging
to "Mrs. Susannah Stubbs ;" from 1723 to 1740, belonging to "Mr, .
John Stubbs;" from 1740 to 1747, belonging to "Capt. John

Stubbses in Pennsylvania,
Allusion has been made to John Stubbs, a distinguished Quaker
preacher, who came to America with Fox and seems never to have
returned. This was 1 671 -1673. Whether this John was the an-
cestor or a relative of the Thomas who married, in 1721, Mary
Minor, in Chester county, Pennsylvania, is unknown to the writer.
They were both Quakers. Hon Jesse Stubbs, at a reunion of the
Stubbs family in West Elkton, Ohio, August 28th, 1895, gave
the genealogy of the descendants of this couple. He claims that
this Thomas (died 1763) came from England to America in 17 18;
that he married, in Chester county. Pa., Mary Minor (who was
from Ireland though of English parents) in September, 1721.
They had nine children, viz. : Daniel, Esther, Thomas. John, Jo-
seph, !Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah and Ann. The descendants of these
children are now found scattered all over the Union.
John, the fourth child, moved from Pennsylvania to North
Carolina in 1755, and married Esther Maddocks (also of Penn-
sylvania), daughter of Joseph Maddocks, in 1757 or 1758. To
this couple were born fourteen children, six of whom were born in
North Carolina, viz. : Nathan, Isaac, Jolin, Mary, Samuel and
Esther. In 1768 they removed to Georgia, about thirty miles
from Augusta, where the rest of their children were born, viz. :
Hannah, Joseph, Rachel, Thomas, Deborah, Sarah, Jesse and Wil-
liam. John died December 27th, 1803, and Esther ^Maddocks
Stubbs in 1786, both in Georgia. All of the children (except one,
Sarah, who died young,) married in Georgia. After the death of
their father they all moved to Ohio (1804 or 1805) and settled in
the southwestern part, along and near Elk Creek, and all lived
until 1828. The descendants of John Stubbs are widely scattered
throughout the West and Northwest and are thought to be greater
in number than those of his brothers and sisters. His total num--
ber of grandchildren were ninety-two, great-grandchildren nearly
500, and great-great-grandchildren will probably reach 1,500 or
2,000. (This was in 1895.)
In a letter from Hon. Lewis D. Stubbs of Richmond, Indiana,
he savs :

"Samuel (above), bom May loth, 1766, died July 28th, 1846,
was my grandfather, and he marrir,'d, January 5th, 1791, Mary
Jones. The issue of this union was ten children, of whom my
father (born November 13th, 1807,) was the only survivor. He
married also a Jones who came from Georgia. One of my broth-
ers was a member of the Eleventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry dur-
ing the war between the States, first as sergeant, then captain of
his company, and finally rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel;
was at Chickamauga. Atlanta, etc. Joel Cloud of Georgia mar-
ried one of my grandfather's sisters, and I have often heard from
my grandfather of his brothers and sisters, that all fheir relatives
had moved away from the South except one Joel Cloud, who lived
near Wrightsboro, Ga. One or more brothers of John Stubbs
went to Xorth Carolina and afterward to Georgia, as I under-
stand, about the same time that John went, but their descendants
also moved to Ohio about 1804 or 1805 and lived near Mount
Pleasant. There are a number of the Stubbs family living in
Lancaster county. Pa. They are farmers and in possession of
large estates. Some of them are prominent citizens and have oc-
cupied important positions."

■sa}'s :
"My father, an only son, was born in the city of Middleton.

lecting information for a history and i;^enealog-y of the descendants
of Thomas and Mary Minor. This branch of the Stubbs familv
in America will, therefore, be dismissed with the above brief re-
cital, given to explain who were those Stubbses whose names are
so frequently found in the early records of Georgia.
CHAPTER III.
Stubbs Family of Virginia and the South.
Although it is believed that a son of the Mr. Stubbs who
bought of Mr. Thomas Macldox the two shares of the Virginia
Company in 1620, settled in Virginia about 1652, there are no
official records known to prove it. The first official record oc-
curs in 1671. From that time on the name of John Stubbs occuis
frequently in the court records, land books and church registers.
Our official records of births begin in the Abingdon parish regi-
ter in 1678, with Sus [anna], the daughter of John and Susannah
Stubbs. After this date occur in records the names of Richard,
Thomas, John and Francis Stubbs, presumably the sons of John
and Susannah Stubbs.
Richard apparently left the State in 1703 and probably went to
Bath county. North Carolina (see page 20).
Thomas signs the protest, with others, in the vestry book of
Petsworth parish, against transubstantiation in 1714, was Sherifit'
of Gloucester county in 1735, member of vestry of Petsworth from
1745 to his .death, in 1762.
John (afterward Captain) was a member of the vestry of Pets-
worth from 1748 to his death, in 1760.
Francis was processioner in Second precinct in 1741 and mem-
ber of the vestry of Petsworth from 1753 to his death, in 1767.
The Petsworth vestry book mentions the death of John Stubbs
in 1 719. It is iDelieved that he was the husband of Susannah and
father of the four boys given above, and the ancestor of all of
the Stubbses of the South. By being called John, Jr., in 1701, ii
is probable that he was the son of John the immigrant and per-
haps the grandson of the shareholder in the London Company
( 1620-1622).
STUBBSES OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Mention has already been made of Richard Stubbs, the son of
John and Susannah Stubbs. This Richard appears in the York
records between 1698 and 1702 as plaintiff and defendant in sev-
eral suits. In the latter year John Young has him arrested for
debt, and, failing to prosecute at the time, the said Richard is

discharged. His name does not occur subsequently in the Vir-
ginia records.
In 1704 Richard Stubbs was among the petitioners for a court i^^
the precinct of Neckham, in the County of Bath, North Carolina.

The will of Thomas Stubbs. dated January 17th. 1738. proved
March 7th, 1738. mentions sons William, Thomas, Bassett ( ?)
(Everitt), John and Richard, and daughters Hannah and Mary.
(N. C. H. & G. Reg.) This Thomas Stubbs evidently married
Mary Everitt, as per following deeds :
Thomas .Stubbs and wife Mary, April I4t'h, 1722, a conveyance
to Nathaniel Everitt, 100 acres land near Morattucks bridge, ad-
joining lands of Benjamin Blount. Witnesses, William Rodes
and Cornelius Callahan.

with same witnesses. (Chowan Countv Deeds, Book C, No. i,
in N. C. H. & G. R., Vol. H., page 144.')
The will of Richard Stubbs, Jr., of Tyrrell county, N. C,
February 25th, 1754, mentions brothers Everitt, William, Thomas
and John ; Ann Jones, sister Mary and my two other sisters ;
brothers Thomas and Everitt, executors ; testators, Esther Walker
and Mary Stubbs. (Vol. L, No. 4, page 486, N. C. H. & G. R.)

to John Stubbs, son of James Stubbs o'f Bath county.
William Stubbs and Jean CuUen were married December. 1733,
in St. Thomas parish, Beaufort precinct.
From the above, taken from the North Carolina records as
given in North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, it
would appear that Richard had at least two sons, Thomas and
James.
(I.) Thomas married Mary Everitt and had
Stnbbses of North Carolina. 21
(i) William, (2) Thomas, (3) Everitt, (4) John and (5)
Richard (d. 1754, s. p.), and (6, 7 and 8) three daugh-
ters, one probably born after death of father,
(i) William married, 1733, Jean Cullen and had William
and Margaret.
(2) Thomas occurs in the records of Tyrrell county in an
affidavit against the tory, Thomas Harrison, July 14th,
1777, and may be the Thomas above, son of Thomas.
Nothing is known of Everitt and John, though the occurrence
to-day of the name of Everitt in one of the Georgia
branches of the Stubbs family would suggest a descent
from Everitt.
(II.) James, the second son of Richard, had at least one son,
John, living in 1760. Probably this John, or John the son of
Thomas, obtained, in November, 1753. a grant of land on Cat-
fish Creek, Peedee River. South Carolina, who, according to
Bishop Gregg's History of South Carolina, was the ancestor
of all the Stubbses since known in the Marlboro district, South
Carolina.
Hon. Harry W. Stubbs, State Senator, of Williamston, Martin
county, N. C, writes that his father was Jesse Rolin Stubbs, who
married, March 3d, 1868, Mary W. Badham, in Chowan county;
that Jesse was the only son of Martin Stubbs of Bath and moved
to Martin county in 1857 or 1858.
The above information is given with the hope that it may stim-
ulate some one in North Carolina to continue these investigations.
THE STUBBSES OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Bishop Gregg, in his "History of the Old Cheraws," says:
"John Stubbs, November, 1753, obtained a grant of land on Cat-
fish Creek, Peedee River, and was the ancestor of the Stubbses
since known in the Marlboro district."
This John came from North Carolina and is believed to be a son
of James of Bath county and grandson of Richard who went to
North Carolina from Virginia, 1703, and who was a son of John
and Susannah Stubbs of Gloucester county, Va.
Rev. J. A. W. Thomas, in his History of Marlboro county. S. C,

STUBBS FAMILY IN VIRGINIA.
Descendants of Thomas and Mildred Stnbbs.
Allusion has already been made to Richard, Thomas, John and
Francis as the probable sons of John, (d. 1719) and Susannah
Stuhbs, of Gloucester county, Virginia. The descendants of
Richard, as far as known, have been given. Thomas, the next-
brother, married Mildred, presumably a Smith, since the name of
Smith has been quite common among his descendants. At "Point
Lookout," in Robins' Neck, Gloucester county, Virginia, the ola
burying ground of the Robins, occurs the following epitaphs :
"Jn memory of Frances Robins, daughter of Thomas and Mil-
dred Stubbs, born 14th February, 1745, died 18th July, 1800."
"Tn memory of Thomas Robins, son of William and Elizabeth
Robins, born ist February, 1745. died 8th November, i!
"To our father, Thomas Robins, son of Thomas Robins and
Frances Stubbs, born Januarv 7th, 1770, died September i8th,
1821."
John Stubbs, the brother of Frances, married Elizabeth Robins,
sister of Thomas Robins above, according to will of William
Robins (1782), probated 1786, in which are mentioned the chil-
dren of said union. As far as is known Thomas (d. 1762) and
Mildred Stubbs had at least two children :

Georgia Stubbses.
James and Peter Stuhbs, believed to be brothers, went to Geor-
gia from Virginia, the one before and the other after the Revo-
lutionary war. They are believed to be the sons of Francis, the
son of John and Susannah Stubbs, previously mentioned as living
in Gloucester county, Va. It is probable that Benjamin and Allen
of the Revolution were either the sons of Francis or Thomas, and
that the Thomas of Washington and Wilkinson counties, Ga.,
given further on, was a son of Benjamin. No descendants of
Allen are known.
James Stubbs was in the Georgia line during the Revolution
(Smith's Story of Georgia) and is believed to have moved to
Georgia circa 1770. He married, circa 1770, Mary Eliza Scott,
daughter of Col. James and Frances (Collier) Scott of Prince
Edward county, Va., who moved to South Carolina in 1770, and
died in 1776. (vScott Family Tree.)
Col. James Scott was son of Col. Thomas Scott, the immigrant
who married Ann Baytop, sister of Col. James Baytop, of Spring-
field, Gloucester county, Virginia, and daughter of Thomas and
(Alexander) Baytop.
Col. James and Frances (Collier) Scott are the ancestors, also,
of the McGehees and Scotts throughout the South.
The issue of James and Mary Eliza (Scott) Stubbs (as far as
known) are as follows :
I. Ann, eldest daughter of James and Mary Eliza (Scott)
Stubbs (b. 1771), married, 1802, second wife (first .wife Miss
Scott). Dr. Charles Cachet who escaped in his mother's arms as an
infant from the insurrection in San Domingo. His father, return-
ing to his home for some papers after depositing his wife and
child safely aboard a vessel, was caught and killed. The mother

DESCENDANTS OF PETER AND MARY BARADELL
(PALMER) STUBBS.
Peter, born June ist, 1744, in Virginia, died 1821 in Putnam
county, Ga. ; married, 1776, widow of Louis Tyler, nee Mary
Baradall Palmer (d. 1804). The following has been furnished by
Hon. Lyon G. Tyler, President of William and Mary College, and
son of John Tyler, President of the United States :
(i) John Tyler (d. 1773), married Anne Contesse, daugh-
ter of Dr. Louis Contesse, and had :
(a) John (Governor of Virginia), who was father of
President Tyler.
(b) Lewis (d. 1775), married Mary Baradall Palmer.
(2) Mary (d. 1789), married, 1745, Rev. William Preston
(b. 1719, d. 1778).
(3) Edith, married Rev. Thomas Robinson.
(4) Joanna, married Dr. Kenneth McKenzie.
(5) Elizabeth Lowe, married, first, Bowcock (d. 1746) ;
married, second (1753), John Palmer (d. 1760), a lawyer
and bursar of William and Mary College, Virginia.
In 1775 Governor John Tyler advertised sale of brick house,
near Capitol, belonging to daughters of late John Palmer. Lewis
Tyler was a lawyer and lived in Charlotte county at "Red Hill,"
afterwards the home of Patrick Henry. From above it appears
that Lewis Tyler married his cousin, Mary Baradall Palmer,
daughter of his Aunt Elizabeth Lowe Tyler. It is probable that
the mother of John Palmer was a Baradall.
The following is taken from the Cliarlotte county (Va.)
records :
Will of Lewis Tyler. — I, Lewis Tyler, of Charlotte county,
very low and weak though in perfect senses, do make my last will
and testament. Item : My will and desire is that the land I pur-
chased upon Turnip Creek to be sold to relieve my securities of
the said land, which land was purchased of John Rogers and
Robert Caldwell, which was the property of Robert Daugherty.
The residue of my estate, after my debts are paid, I give and
bequeath unto my wife, Mary Baradall Tyler. I leave my brother
John Tyler, Richard M. Booker and Peter Stubbs executors.

executors therein named, and the same was proved by oath of
Joanna Bouldin, one of the witnesses thereto subscribed, and or-
dered to be certified, and the said Peter Stubbs renouncing in
open Court the execution of said will and it appearing that Rich-
ard Marot Booker renounces the execution of said will, as also

Peter, after marrying the Widow Tyler, moved from Virginia
to Wilkes county, Georgia, probably about 1783. Smith in his
"History of Georgia" says he came 1787 to 1793, along with John,
Sylvester and Abner Hammond. He moved from Elbert (taken
from Wilkes) to Putnam, where he died in 1821. 'Of Mrs.
Stubbs it is said, "She suffered during the Revolution with small-
pox, from the effects of which she went blind. It is said that she
never saw but one (John, the eldest) of her children. She was
very diminutive and wore No. 13 shoes." Letter from Miss Kate
Palmer Stubbs.)

82 The Descendants of John Stuhhs.
OTHER BRANCHES OF THE FAMILY.
There is a family of Stubbses, widely scattered through the
South, that are the descendants of a George Stubbs who married
Sarah Osprey. This George is said to have been the son of
James Stubbs and had a brother Thomas, well known to the older
members of the family, and another brother, Samuel, of whom
nothing is known.
George Stubbs lived and died at Cuthbert, Ga. He had a first
cousin by name of Thos. Stubbs. The above, obtained from liv-
ing members of the family, may be correct. It is possible for
George and Samuel to be sons of James and Alary Eliza (Scott)
Stubbs, ten of whose children have already been given, among
them a son of Thomas. James had a brother, Peter, who had
also a son Thomas.
This may be the origin of this family, but it is uncertain and it
is therefore deemed prudent to place this branch alone until future
investigation shall transfer it to its proper place.

PERSONAL CHAPTER.
It will not, I trust, be deemed inappropriate to insert here a
more extended record of those who are near and dear to the
writer.
It was always a pleasant duty to give proper respect, obedience
and affection to my devoted parents when they were alive, and
now after death it is with peculiar pride that we chronicle their
many virtues.
In the old graveyard at Valley Front, a monument of purest
marble bears the following inscription :
"our mother^
"Ann Walker Carter Stubbs, wife of Jefferson W. Stubbs, Esq.,
eldest daughter of Capt. James Baytop and Lucy Taliaferro
Catlett, his wife, of Springfield, in the county of Gloucester,
the ancient seat of the family and place of her nativity. She
died on the 22d September, 1894, in the 78th year of her age
and the 60th of her marriage. She was of great and exem-
plary piety and charity and in every relation of life, whether
considered as a Christian, a wife, a mother, a mistress, a
neighbor or a friend, she was equalled by few and excelled
by none.
"Death came peacefully and with gentle step and with tender
touch, framed a lullaby fit for a Christian's rest."
This monument was erected by her children and their modest
tribute to her exalted worth is more than corroborated by the
many eulogiums spoken by her neighbors, friends and acquaint-
ances. From a large number only extracts from two will be
given. The first is by the Rev. James C. Martin, once her pastor,
who officiated at her golden wedding, and a 'distinguished minis-
ter in the Virginia Methodist Conference. He, too, has since
gone to reap his reward.
"Her marriage was blessed with a large family of children, a
number of whom preceded her to the better land. * * * jjgj.
boys on earth are the Hon. James N. Stubbs, state senator ; Prof.
Thos. Jefferson Stubbs of William and Mary College, and Prof.
William C. Stubbs of the Louisiana State University. * * *
The writer of these lines was honored with a chief place at their
golden wedding, which occurred at Valley Front about ten years
ago. Never was there a more beautiful and appropriate hour
expressive of a long and happy union of two loving hearts * *
90 The Descendants of John Stubbs.
* She was a friend to the poor ; the widow and orphan, the sick
and the suffering knew the tone of her voice, the kindness of her
hands, and rise up to call her blessed. * * * jf children have
ever had a truer, sweeter, tenderer, nobler Christian mother, I
have failed to see her. If husband has ever had a finer type of
all that constitutes a real helpmeet, 1 have never known her. If
church and community have cause to mourn the loss of one of
their chief treasures, then many eyes were moist with tears when
God took this venerable woman to Himself. Mourners white
and colored, in great numbers, gathered at Valley Front on the
day of her burial. Rev. J. D. Hank, her pastor, assisted by the
Rev. Wm. E. Wiatt of the Baptist church — the Rev. Wrn. B.
Lee of the Episcopal church, performed the funeral services at
Valley Front, and then the mortal remains were laid to rest in the
graveyard there, where have slept the precious dust of the house
of Stubbs for an hundred years."
The second extract is from tlie pen of Prof. Alexander Hogg
of Fort Worth, Texas, our first male teacher :
"It is a pardonable if a proud recollection of the writer that her
boys were among his first pupils.
"The greatest amount of care for the sick and distressed was
during the late war, when the troops at Yorktown were stricken,
under the terrible results of camp life. Gloucester county extend-
ed a welcome to these sufferers, and 'Valley Front' cared for over
fifty at a time, and thus for months i'ts charity never failed.
"But yesterday, the writer listened to an essay in which the
virtues of the Spartan women were extolled. Spar'tan women !
Roman mothers ! ! Virginia has furnished as great examples of
womanly virtue, Christian character and patriotic, devotion as the
world ever saw.
"She gave the service of her three sons to the Confederate
cause.
"The funeral was the largest ever seen in the county. There
was about this a fitness and a tenderness that must be mentioned
here that will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed the
same. Her remains were borne to their last resting place, just
over the ravine, in full view of the house — a bright spot — by her
sons, her grandsons, her nephews and her cousins. The home at
Valley Front will be gloomy this Christmas. The neighbors and
friends who are accustomed annually to meet there will miss the
bright cheer and large hospitality of this household — this home-
stead that has been occupied by the same family descendants
through several generations.
"Not least among those who will sigh are the old familv ser-
Personal Chapter. 91
vants. Few people understand the close and confiding relations
that existed between there and their old owners. * * *
"But out of all these losses and the exceeding sorrow of the
household, a bright gleam — a radiant assurance comes to us, that
society, the church, the state and mankind have been helped, have
been infinitely blessed, through the noble character, the Christian
life and the patriotic devotion of Airs. Jefferson W. Stubbs."
Side by side with our mother lies our father, Jefferson W.
Stubbs, who followed her to the grave a few years later.
The Richmond Christian Advocate says :
"He had attained his eighty-sixth year and had been for more
than sixty years recording steward of Gloucester Circuit, witness-
ing in that long period as many as six rearrangements of the ter-
ritory known by that name as a pastoral charge.
"After a long and faithful service, active, intelligent and useful,
'he sleeps well,' his mortal part resting beside the dust of his wife,
who was removed from his home a few years since and placed
amidst the graves of other loved ones of his own and past genera-
tions.
"The place on which he lived so long, being there born and dy-
ing there, had been inherited from his father and has been in the
possession of the Stubbs family for more than a hundred years.
Their title is traced directly to the grant from the British crown."
Tributes of respect were paid to his memory by the stewards of
the AI. E. Church. South, of which he was a member for nearly
sixty years; by the Gloucester Charity School, of which he was
for fifty years president, and by the bar and people of Gloucester
county, where he was the presiding justice for many years. The
following are extracts from resolutions of the Gloucester Charity
School :
"Whereas, The relations as chief officer and fellow associate
of this corporation held for a series of more than four decades,
render it proper that we should place upon record our high ap-
preciation of his valuable services as an officer and member, and
his merits as a citizen ; therefore,
''Resolved, That his memory as a man and as a fellow member,
as president of this corporation, and as a Christian gentleman is
precious to us all, and will remain unclouded as the years roll on.
"That for his keen perception of right and wrong, his unswerv-
ing fidelity to duty, his wise counsels, his discriminating judg-
ment, and prudent forethought, his commendable conservatism,
his fervid sympathy for the needy, the Gloucester Charity School
and the communitv have sustained a great loss.
92 The Descendants of John Stubbs.
"That no token of affection can be too profuse, no mark of res-
pect too emphatic, no rendition of honor too conspicuous for one
whose virtues were so eminent and whose memory is so deeply
enshrined in the affections of his associates.
"Wm. F. Hogg,
"Chas. Catlett,
"Thos. S. Taliaferro,
"Committee."
At a meeting of the bar and people of Gloucester county to take
appropriate action with reference to the death of Jefferson W.
Stubbs, General William B. Taliaferro was made chairman and
Maryus Jones secretary, and the following resolutions were
adopted :
"Resolved (i). That we have heard with profound sorrow of
the death of Mr. Jeff. W. Stubbs, for many years the presiding
justice of the county of Gloucester, as organized before the adop-
tion of the present constitution of the state.
"Resolved (2), That Mr. Stubbs had been prominent in ail
business and religious affairs of the county for many years, and
although his age and infirm health had for some years prevented
him from active participation in the affairs of life, we feel that a
prominent landmark is missing from the county and the church.
"Resolved (3), That the portrait of Mr. Stubbs now hanging
in the courthouse be draped in mourning for thirty days.
"Resolved (4), That these resolutions be spreads on the records
of the county court of Gloucester county," etc.
Appropriate remarks were made by Wm. Ap. W. Jones, Maryus
Jones, Rev. Wm. E. Wiatt, R. McCandlish, T. G. Jones, Capt. R.
M. Page, James L. Stubbs, Jno. B. Donovan, H. R. Corr, and
General Wm. B. Taliaferro.
The three sons mentioned in the above notice are :
(i) Major James New Stubbs of "Church Hill," Gloucester
county, Virginia ; a lawyer of large practice. Educated at Wil-
liam and Mary College, and studied law under Judge Jno. W.
Brockenborough, Lexington, Va., in 1860-61. After the war he
completed his law course at the University of Virginia. Entered
the Confederate States Army in 1861, as a member of the "Glou-
cester" artilley (Red Shirts). Was detailed for duty in the "Sig-
nal Corps" early in the war, in which service he remained, rising
to the rank of "Major." He accompanied General Jno. Bank-
head Magrnder to Texas in 1862, and remained with 'him until
the close of the war. He rendered valuable service in the cap-
ture of the Harriet Lane off Galveston. After the war he resumed
his law studies and began practice in 1866. He was elected
Personal Chapter. 93
member of House of Delegates in 1869, and since that time has
served ahnost continuously either as a delegate or State Senator.
He is vice-president of the Board of Visitors of William and
Mary College and until recently was president of the Board of
Control of the Blind and Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Staunton,
Virginia. Has been State Commander of the Confederate Vet-
erans of Virginia and was largely instrumental in the erection of
the handsome monument to the Confederate dead at Gloucester
Court House. He is a member of Botetourt Lodge No. 7 of
Free and Accepted Masons. He married in 1866, Eliza Medli-
cott, daughter of Joseph and Hester (Shackelford) Medlicott,
and a granddaughter of Wm. and Eliza (Munson) Shackelford
of Salem, Gloucester county, Virginia.
(2) Prof. Thos. Jefferson Stubbs is an A. M. graduate of
William and Mary College, and Ph. D. of Arkansas College, Ar-
kansas, in which institution he was a professor for many years.
In 1877 and 1879 was a representative in the General Assembly
of Arkansas. He was a gallant member, during the entire war,
of Co. A. 34th Va. Infantry, Wise's Brigade, a company of heavy
artillery at the beginning of the war and known as the "Red
Shirts." He is now and has been since 1888, Professor of Math-
ematics in William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va. He is
a Mason and an elder in the Presbyterian church. He married,
1869, Mary Mercer Cosnahan of Williamsburg, Va., daughter of
Capt. Joseph B. Cosnahan (C. S. A.) and Louisa Mercer Waller,
daughter of Dr. Robt. Page Waller and Julia Weeden Mercer.
Capt. Cosnahan was an attorney-at-law, a native of South Caro-
lina and "an accomplished gentleman, a sincere friend and a
faithful soldier." Prof. Stubbs' children were all born in Ar-
kansas.
(3) "Dr. William Carter Stubbs, after being trained for col-
lege with his two brothers by the best private tutors, entered
William and Mary College in i860. This college suspending ex-
ercises in 1 86 1, his college curiculum was completed by gradua-
tion at Randolph Macon in 1862. In September he entered a
company of "Partisan Rangers," commanded by Capt. Thos. C.
Clopton. This company became later Co. D, 24th Va. Cavalry,
with which he served as an ofihcer throughout the war, surrender-
ing at Appomattox Court House in April, 1865. In October,
1865, he resumed his studies at the University with his two broth-
ers, mentioned above, and remained until graduation. While at
the University of Virginia he was a competitor for the Mathe-
matical medal, nobly but unsuccessfully contending with Gaetano
Lanza, now professor of applied mathematics in the School of
94 The Descendants of John Stubbs.
Technology, Boston, Mass. In 1869 he accepted a professorship
in East Alabama College, and in 1872 was made professor of
cliemistry in Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College, Au-
burn, Ala. In 1878 was made state chemist of Alabama. In
1885 was called to Louisiana to take charge of Louisiana Sugar
Experiment Station, established by the sugar planters of this
state. He was soon appointed professor of agriculture in Lou-
isiana State University and director of State Experiment Station
at Baton Rouge. In 1886 was made by Legislature, state chem-
ist of Louisiana, and in 1887 director of the North Louisiana
Experiment Station at Calhoun, La. In 1892 was empowered by
the Legislature of the state, with suitable appropriation, to con-
duct a geological survey of the state. In the same year the Audu-
bon Sugar School was established and placed under his direction.
From small beginnings he has witnessed with delight the evolu-
tion of agricultural teachings, until to-day few states can claim
more agencies at work in behalf of agriculture than Louisiana.
The gradually increasing appropriations made biennially by the_
Legislature of the state are the best evidences of the appreciation
of the public of his laborious work. He lias published over one
