A sourced/proven birthdate/year for "Thomas" is elusive, but he was likely born about 1720 - 25. Only one person was known to claim his name as "William", which was noted 130 years after his death. However, at least seven real-time references document his name as "Thomas", plus another made by a grandson of his, Higgason Grubbs Boone. The lone account claiming his first name as "William" was made in the compilation History and Genealogies (1907), by William Harris Miller, who referenced a great grand daughter of the subject . . . "As furnished by Miss Mary Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Berry (the daughter of James H. Berry Jr. & Emily Fox), William Grubbs and his wife Susan Hearne, came to Kentucky from Albemarle County, Virginia, about the year 1775, and made claim to land. He died in a few days after he came to Kentucky, and was buried at Bryan's Station. After his death, his wife and ten children came to Madison County."
In The Boone Family (1922), Hazel A. Spraker also mentions "William Grubbs", but in said reference her account was simply a reiteration of the same one that Miss Berry had made in Miller's compilation. Logic would dictate if his first name was really William, it would have been found in at least one written source of the pre-Revolutionary War era. So in order to realize a FindaGrave search for the subject "Thomas Grubbs" most effectively, "William" is still noted here, but only as a nickname, because this misnomer over the last century has been so ingrained since Miller's 1907 compilation. In keeping with the family naming patterns of the time, Thomas's only son Higgason had named his first son Thomas as well.
The claim for his death of "about 1775", when Miss Berry was in her 70s, suggests a degree of uncertainty. The Story of Bryan's Station (1896), by George W. Ranck, doesn't note a "Grubbs". Most, if not all the first settlers of Fort Boonesborough and Bryan's Station in 1775/6, had traveled from their previous homes in North Carolina. Its possible said Grubbs was affiliated with the party that was documented as splintering in 1780 from Bryan's Station, after being attacked by Natives, since John Grant had noted in a letter from 24 Apr 1780, that was addressed to Col. John Todd (Drake/1942), brothers Christopher Harris & Robert Harras (sic) (son-in-laws of Thomas) had been inhabitants of Grant's Station, about 5 miles north of Bryan's Station. Similarly, it should be noted, in the diary of Col. Richard Henderson, the Transylvania Company founder does not mention a William Grubbs, and no land claim has been found that was made by a William Grubbs for Kentucky acreage during the 1775 period.
The Register of Kentucky State Historical Society has noted as early as 1778, Thomas's son Higgason was at Fort Boonesborough, serving as a "Captain in defense of the fort". However, no other record during this period can document any "Grubbs" on the militia roster rolls of Fort Boonesborough or surrounding stations. In a 14 Mar 1801 - Madison Co. court deposition, Thomas's son Higgason, claimed to be there in 1780, and his first known claim wasn't until Feb 1781, for lands on Tates Creek. Given the close relationship the Grubbs family had with the Christopher Harris SR family in Virginia, and later in Kentucky, it's likely the entire Grubbs family migrated from Virginia around the same time as the Harris family did, ca. 1780 to 1785.
An unsourced and unlikely claim has unfortunately been made over the years that Thomas Grubbs descends from Emanuel Grubb & Ann Hitchcock, of Newcastle Co., Delaware Colony. Said claim has been proven invalid, since the said son of Emanuel's, Thomas Grubb, was actually a blacksmith who lived and died in Little Britain Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Nor can William Grubb, the son of Thomas Grubb of Lancaster County, be logically connected to this memorial's Thomas Grubbs, since said William was born ca. 1773, and had settled in Erie County, Pennsylvania. A paper found online, written by Wayne Kilpatrick in 1979, stating Higgason Grubbs had three other brothers named "Andrew, Jesse and William", is also unsubstantiated. To date, nothing has been found in the real time written historical records to indicate Thomas Grubbs of Albemarle County, descends from the Peter Van Krupps family claimed to have immigrated to New York, ca. 1646.

Gravesite Details
Claimed by a great grand daughter to have been buried ca. 1775, where Bryan's Station once stood. This would be an unmarked grave that has been lost to the elements.
