This is information about your Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandpa, Enoch Grubbs. He served in the American Revolution so this qualifies you for Sons of the American Revolution.
His son, William A. Grubbs, Sr., your G-G-G-Great Grandpa, brought your G-G-Great Grandfather, William A. Grubbs, Jr. to Alabama in 1830. They settled on the upper Pea River in South Barbour County. That's the disputed land that the Indians went to war over in 1836. Your G-G-G-Great Grandfather and his brothers fought in this war.
His daughter, Mary "Hetty" Grubbs is your G-G-Great Grandma. Her husband, John D. Belcher, was Missing In Action while serving in the Confederate Army. Your Great Great Grandfather, John Belcher, never knew his Daddy.
Enoch Grubbs Sr. was born about 1755. It is believed that he came to South Carolina from Virginia but this has not yet been proved. While his parents have not been determined so far, we have identified one possible sibling; a brother named James Grubbs. It has been said that Enoch Grubbs was raised in an old community know as Feasterville that was associated with the Scotch-Irish settlers.
Enoch Grubbs first wife was Floried K. Burton, (1757-1812), whom he married about 1775. His second wife, Mary Henson, born 1780, was the mother of his last six children. They were wed about 1815. We know that he was in the Camden District of Fairfield County, South Carolina as early as 1774. He died in Fairfield County about 1832. It is not know where he is buried.
Enoch Grubbs Sr. joined the South Carolina militia during the Revolutionary War. He served under Captains Anderson, Thomas, and Liles and participated in the Battle of Four Holes in November 1781. Four Holes is a branch of the Edisto River in south Central South Carolina. The records indicated that Enoch Grubbs provided oats for the Calvary under Colonel Washington, (probably Will Washington), during the Revolution. There was also some indication that he may have participated in the battle at Cowpens.
